ON a busy night of Premier League action, it’s the Merseyside derby that takes centre stage as Everton look to deliver a fatal blow to Liverpool’s title dream.
The Reds got back to winning ways on Sunday with a victory at Fulham but a dust-up with the neighbours across Stanley Park is a big test of mettle.
Everton were battered 6-0 by Chelsea last midweek but that hammering came between two massively important wins over relegation rivals Burnley and Nottingham Forest.
That has moved Sean Dyche’s men five points clear of the drop zone and fans would love to take another huge stride to safety by winning in the derby for just the second time in 30 meetings.
Everton v Liverpool: Top Betting Tips
Everton played well in their 2-0 weekend win over Forest but Ashley Young was lucky to escape three penalty appeals. The veteran will be up against either Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz or Darwin Nunez so he looks worth backing for a card at 9/4 with Bet365.
VAR favoured the Toffees on Sunday by ignoring those penalty appeals and it could have an impact again tonight. Tackles that a ref deems just a yellow go could come under scrutiny and a red card pays 31/10 at McBookie while Unibet are offering 2/1 on a spot-kick being awarded.
Liverpool should have most of the pressure and it could be a busy night for Everton keeper Jordan Pickford. The England No.1 is 6/4 with Bet365 to make over 4.5 saves.
Manchester United v Sheffield United: Top Betting Tips
Manchester United have come under fire after throwing away a 3-0 lead against Coventry in the FA Cup semi-final before eventually sneaking through on penalties.
They now face rock-bottom Sheffield United in the Premier League and the Blades will fancy their chances against a defence that is decimated.
Casemiro is likely to play as an emergency centre back again and will have his hands full against the towering Ollie McBurnie. The Brazilian looks overpriced at 19/5 with Unibet for a card while McBurnie is a tempting 27/25 just to have an effort on target.
Erik ten Hag’s side still have plenty of firepower in attack though and the problem for Sheffield United is keeping them out. Winger Alejandro Garnacho is 3/1 at Betway for an assist and that looks good value.
Crystal Palace v Newcastle: Top Betting Tips
The most entertaining game tonight might come at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace look to build on their 5-2 thrashing of West Ham when Newcastle United come calling.
The Magpies are in great form as they hunt down a Europa League place but will find it hard keeping a vibrant Eagles attack quiet. Eberechi Eze will provide the creative spark as usual and is 13/10 with Paddy Power for a goal or assist. Alexander Isak will be the man Newcastle look to for goals and the Swede is 11/10 in the same market.
Wolverhampton Wanderers v AFC Bournemouth: Top Betting Tips
The final Premier League match today sees Wolves host Bournemouth, with both sides heading into the match off the back of weekend defeats.
Injuries have hit Gary O’Neil’s side hard and they’re sliding down the table after a run of six games without a win. The Cherries let me down at the weekend by losing to Aston Villa but still look worth a punt here at 6/4 with 888Sport.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have only won six corners across their last three matches so I also fancy Bournemouth for most corners tonight at 11/8 with SkyBet.
