The weekend’s Premier League coupon is headlined by Manchester City vs Liverpool in the Sunday tea time slot and Reds look a fair win bet at 13/10 to turn over hosts that were involved in a doomed Champions League struggle with Real Madrid Spain on Wednesday night.
Before that we’ve identified three more selections worth closer inspection across Friday and Saturday’s top-flight fixtures.

Bees decent value to extend Leicester’s King Power losing streak
Brentford have won their last three and drawn one of their last four Premier League away games keeping clean sheets in all bar one of those outings.
On that form the even money about them claiming another three points on their travels against Leicester looks worthy of serious consideration.
The Foxes have now lost their past five home league games to nil, conceding at least twice in each of those defeats. Four of those losses came by an identical scoreline of 0-2 and a repeat could be worth a small side bet at a chunky 10/1.
Tip: Brentford to beat Leicester @ Evens
Only one way to play clash of the BTTS-No bankers at Goodison Park
Everton have now won four and drawn one of their last five league games and such has been their resurgence under David Moyes that 7/5 about them beating Man Utd makes some appeal.
However, the Scottish tactician’s clash with the side he left the Toffees for back in 2013 is also notable for pitting the EPL’s most reliable ‘both teams to score – no’ teams against each other.
Odds of 17/20 about at least one of the clubs failing to find the net seems very fair for a bet that’s copped in 16 of Everton’s 25 league games this term and 15 of United’s.
Tip: Everton vs Man Utd – BTTS No @ 17/20
Back goals to boost odds on brilliant Bournemouth to beat Wolves
Bournemouth landed our (-1) bet away at Southampton last weekend and they’re back on the team sheet again when Wolves visit the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
The Cherries wouldn’t be a thrilling price at 3/5 for the win. The men from Molineux have lost five of their last six league games, but did have to play Nottingham Forest, Chelsea, Newcastle, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool in that sequence.
Andoni Iraola’s team would give any of those sides a game however and should be more than capable of turning over their guests. Backing Bournemouth to win a match of over 2.5 unlocks a more appealing bet at odds of 5/4.
Six of Wolves’ last seven games have rewarded over 2.5 goals backers, as have four of Bournemouth’s last five.
