Action in the 2017/18 English Premier League (EPL) continues over this weekend (Saturday, Sunday) and on Monday with a number of matches, including Chelsea squaring off against Everton at the Bridge, and Liverpool and Arsenal set to shoot it out at Merseyside.

Free-scoring EPL favourites Manchester United have started the new season like a runaway train, hitting another four goals this time against Swansea City without conceding. Manchester United have now taken their goalscoring tally to eight in two games. The blue half of Manchester had Jamaican-born Raheem Sterling to thank for a late equaliser as they could only muster a 1-1 draw at home to Everton. Elsewhere there were wins for Liverpool and Chelsea, the latter serving up Tottenham’s first home defeat in over a year.

For the first match on Saturday at 6:30 am, Chelsea look to build momentum when they host Everton. After dropping their first game of the season in spectacular fashion, Chelsea went on the road and defeated Tottenham Hotspurs 2-1. Despite the fact the season is just two games-day old, this was a major win for the club, as the risk of falling six points behind to start the season could have proven detrimental to the champions.

From their last five head-to-head meetings, each team has two wins while scoring an amazing 20 goals in the process. The betting tip is a win for Chelsea and over 2.5 goals in the game.

The second match on Sunday at 10:00 am pits the EPL’s two entertainers, Liverpool and Arsenal, against each other. The expectation nothing less than an entertaining affair, as the two teams’ defences cannot keep a secret even if they were paid half of Neymar’s transfer fee. While Liverpool won both of their EPL meetings with Arsenal last season, they haven’t won three in a row versus the gunners since May 1998. Arsenal last won an EPL away game against a side in the top six way back in January 2015 (2-0 at Man City). They have since lost seven and drawn five of their last 12 matches on the road against the top six clubs.

Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three EPL games at home — the last time they kept four in a row was in September 2013 under Brendan Rodgers.

The prediction is that Liverpool will prevail in an expected goal fest. The odds are as follows:

Liverpool to win $2.08 which means that a $1,000 bet pays $2,080.

— Arsenal to win $3.25, which means that a $1,000 bet pays $3,250.

— Odds of a draw, $3.45, which means that a $1,000 bet pays $3,450.

— Odds on the home team (Liverpool) winning the game 3-2 at full-time, $20.00, which means that a $1000 bet pays $20,000.

— Odds on the away team (Arsenal) winning the game 2-3 at full-time, $25.00, which means that a $1,000 bet pays $25,000.

— Odds on the game drawing 2-2 at full-time, $11.00, which means that a $1,000 bet pays $11,000!!!!!
