Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this week, along with Mark Lawrenson at the BBC:

Stat Attack: the Merseyside derby…

Everton v Liverpool is the feature game on Wednesday night…

The backdrop to the latest instalment of the Merseyside derby: former Champions-League-winning Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is in charge at rivals Everton these days. His Toffees side are seven games without a win (losing five). Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have won eight out of 10 in all competitions.

Some standout Liverpool disciplinary stats to take note of here:

• Liverpool are the best-behaved team in the Premier League right now. With just 14 yellow cards (and zero reds), from 13 games

• Liverpool haven’t received the Most Cards or Booking Points in any of their 6 Premier League away games this season

• In the last 5 Merseyside derbies in all comps, Liverpool have only got the Most Cards or Booking Pts on one occasion

• Everton have received the First Card in 4 of their 6 home league games this season

With those stats in mind, the home team are the one to follow in the Cards & Bookings markets here. Different bookies have slightly different names and bets for Most Cards:

Betway are the best price on Everton, with odds of 23/20 (2.15) in their ‘Team With Most Cards’ market. Everton ‘Most Cards’ is 19/20 (1.95) at Unibet.

Elsewhere, Everton ‘0 Card Handicap’ is 10/11 (1.91) at Bet365. At Skybet, it’s the same price for Everton to be ‘Team with Most Booking Points,’ with William Hill going 5/6 (1.83).

In the First Card markets, the top prices are:

Team To Get The 1st Card – Everton @ 5/6 (1.83) Betway, 8/11 (1.73) at Skybet, 7/10 (1.7) William Hill.

This week we have the same opinions on 6 of the 10 games:

• CHELSEA
• WEST HAM
• Wolves v Burnley – DRAW
• MAN CITY
• LIVERPOOL
• Man Utd v Arsenal – DRAW

The Match Result 6-fold acca pays 73/1 with Marathonbet, 68/1 Bet365 (with 15% Acca Bonus).

There are 5 games where we have an Under/ Over 2.5 Goals match-up in our predictions:

• Newcastle v Norwich – OVER 2.5
• Leeds v Crystal Palace – UNDER 2.5
• Wolves v Burnley – UNDER 2.5
• Everton v Liverpool – OVER 2.5
• Man Utd v Arsenal – OVER 2.5

The 5-fold Goals acca is 15/1 at BetVictor, 14/1 Bet365.

Correct Scores…

And finally…

We’ve got one matching prediction for a Correct Score:

• Liverpool to win 3-1 at Everton is 11/1 with Bet365 and William Hill

We’ll be back on Friday with predictions for the weekend. Enjoy the football…

Best wishes,
