We take a look at the English Premier League action taking place on Sunday and Monday and suggest a bet in each game.
SUNDAY
LEEDS UNITED v LIVERPOOL
Leeds head into the 4th round of EPL matches sitting 15th on the table with 2 points from their opening 9 games. They are coming off back-to-back draws at home to Burnley and away at Everton, big improvements on their opening result which was a 5-1 defeat at Manchester United.
Liverpool would have been disappointed to draw 1-1 at home with Chelsea last time out having been playing against 10 men for a long period. They currently sit 5th on the table having won their previous 2 games at home to Burnley and away at Norwich.
This fixture finished 1-1 last season with Liverpool winning the reverse 4-3 at home.

Leeds United 13/4
Draw 31/10
Liverpool 8/10
Suggested Bet: Liverpool win at 8/10
I considered backing The Both Teams to Score here given that this had occurred in all 3 of Leeds matches this season and both head-to-heads last season between the sides, but at 11/20 it is a bit short. I like what I have seen of Liverpool so far this season and think they can take advantage of a Leeds side I think will struggle against the big guns.
MONDAY
EVERTON v BURNLEY
It is great to have English Premier League football back and we have 6th placed Everton hosting 16th placed Burnley or at least that was their positions heading into the weekend.
Everton have taken 7 points from a possible 9 and last time out won 2-0 away at Brighton having drawn 2-2 at Leeds and beaten Southampton 3-1 in their opening game.
Burnley look to be in for a hard season and have only taken 1 point from their first 3 matches that was last time out 1-1 away at Leeds. Prior to that they lost to Liverpool 2-0 on the road and Brighton 2-1 at home.
Last season Burnley won this fixture 2-1 and they drew 1-1 when Burnley hosted.

Everton 15/20
Draw 11/4
Burnley 79/20
Suggested Bet: Everton win at 15/20
Looking at the form lines of these two sides I am quite surprised to be getting this price about Everton and have them as one of my better bets of the weekend.
