Bet of the day – Liverpool to beat Bournemouth @ 11/10

Liverpool had some swagger in their 3-1 EFL Cup defeat of Tottenham at Anfield on Tuesday night and the Reds remain unbeaten in all competitions this season.

Andoni Iraola is settling nicely into the Anfield hotseat and a trip to his old club Bournemouth comes at a good time. The Spaniard knows all about the opposition his team will face on Sunday and can expertly expose the Cherries’ weaknesses.

Iraola made ten changes for the EFL Cup mission against Spurs, keeping key players fresh for Premier League combat, and that spells bad news for Bournemouth.

The fact Bournemouth had a Europa League trek to Real Sociedad, albeit a successful one, on Thursday adds to the confidence in Liverpool. The away side are superior and fresher, and it is a surprise to find odds-against quotes about Iraola’s men taking three points back to Anfield.

Bet builder – Fulham vs Manchester United draw and Matheus Cunha to score @ 39/4

Manchester United fans are fretting about the season ahead, with Michael Carrick’s honeymoon period clearly over and their hosts on Sunday will fancy their chances of getting something from the game.

Given the pressure Carrick is under – and the vulnerability United have shown in recent outings – the 13-time Premier League champions will probably be content with taking a point from their trip to London.

Avoiding another gutbusting defeat may be the target for United, while Fulham seem likely to adopt their usual, energetic mid-block. The Cottagers held Liverpool to a goalless draw at Anfield last Saturday, then beat West Ham in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.

Sander Berge and Alex Iwobi can keep Fulham solid in midfield, but Matheus Cunha has the skills to trouble Fulham’s rearguard. A drawn game with Cunha getting on the scoresheet looks a value Bet Builder option at a juicy price.

Acca – Over 3.5 goals in Manchester City vs Sunderland, Liverpool to beat Bournemouth, Fulham vs Manchester United draw @ 18/1

Liverpool can boss a potentially jaded Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, while a tight, tense, tetchy draw may be played out at Craven Cottage.

A Liverpool win and a Fulham draw can be put with over 3.5 goals in the Manchester City versus Sunderland fixture for an 18/1 acca. It has not taken long for Enzo Maresca to get his City side flowing and that spells bad news for the Black Cats when they come to the Etihad Stadium.

Expect an increasingly confident Citizens side to run riot against weak opponents and for there to be four or more goals in the game.
