Tip 1: Liverpool to win vs Crystal Palace @ 9/10

Liverpool have made a flawless start to the campaign, winning every game across all competitions, even if some victories have required late drama. That momentum should continue at Selhurst Park, even against an unbeaten Crystal Palace side.

Alexander Isak is expected to make his first Premier League start for Liverpool after Hugo Ekitike’s midweek red card, adding further firepower to an already relentless Reds attack. Arne Slot’s side continue to find ways to win, the hallmark of champions, and it’s difficult to see them being stopped here given the calibre of opposition they’ve already beaten this season.

Tip 2: Bryan Mbeumo over 1.5 shots on target vs Brentford @ 6/4

One of Manchester United’s major summer signings, Bryan Mbeumo returns to the Gtech Community Stadium to face his former side Brentford. He will have a point to prove against his old club and, having scored just once this season, will be eager to add to his tally.

Mbeumo has registered a shot on target in four of his five league outings so far, hitting the target twice in two of those games. Brentford’s defensive openness, they allowed 14 shots against Fulham last time out, suggests he’ll get more chances here.

Tip 3: Sunderland to win and Wilson Isidior to score first @ 20/1

Sunderland could spring an upset at the City Ground, exploiting Nottingham Forest’s fatigue after their intense 2-2 midweek draw away at Real Betis in the Europa League. The Black Cats have shown real resilience this season, while Forest’s backline looks vulnerable with key defenders Murillo and Ola Aina sidelined.

Wilson Isidor has been in sharp form, scoring three goals in four league matches, including the equaliser against Aston Villa when Sunderland were reduced to 10 men. At 20/1, the combination of a Sunderland win and Isidor opening the scoring carries real value.
