Player to score – Luis Diaz (Liverpool v Bournemouth) 5/4
Liverpool have endured a difficult start to the 2022/23 Premier League season with Jurgen Klopp’s team taking just two points from their first three fixtures after Monday night’s defeat to Manchester United. However, a home match against Bournemouth presents them with the perfect opportunity to get up and running.

Four of Luis Diaz’s five Premier League goals for Liverpool have come at Anfield and the Colombian will surely be a threat against Bournemouth on Saturday. Mohamed Salah might be the obvious bet to find the back of the net, but the Egyptian has lacked composure front of goal so far this season. There is better value in backing Diaz.
Player to be carded – Brenden Aaronson (Brighton v Leeds) 6-1
Brenden Aaronson has made a good early impression in the Premier League, scoring the opening goal in Leeds United’s 3-0 win over Chelsea last weekend. The American’s energy, on and off the ball, has caught the eye, as demonstrated by the high press that forced Edouard Mendy into a mistake at Elland Road.
Aaronson has averaged one foul per 90 minutes for Leeds in the Premier League this season and will need to be at his high-pressing best to stop Brighton from playing their usual possession-heavy game this weekend. The American international is a good bet to pick up his second yellow card of the campaign.
Match to be a draw – Juventus v Roma 21/10
Juventus were held to a goalless draw by Sampdoria last weekend and the Old Lady will face another test against Jose Mourinho’s Roma on Saturday. The Giallorossi have started their campaign with back-to-back 1-0 victories against Salernitana and Cremonese and look to be in decent shape early on.
Roma are unbeaten in 17 of their last 19 Serie A matches. While they could have won more matches under Mourinho’s stewardship last season, Roma have become a tougher team to beat with the Portuguese coach at the helm. Juventus have kept a clean sheet in six of their last eight home matches against Roma, so there might not be many goals in this one.
Both teams to score – Arsenal v Fulham 10/13
Fulham have been the surprise package of the fledgling Premier League season so far, taking three points from their first three fixtures. Of course, a trip to the Emirates Stadium to face an in-form task will be their toughest task so far, but Marco Silva’s team have shown they carry a goal threat, scoring five times in three games.

Oleksandr Zinchenko’s reaction says it all. 😱

Arsenal have netted nine times in their first three fixtures with Gabriel Jesus hitting the ground running for his new team. Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli have also found their scoring touch in the early stages of the season. Arsenal are favourites to win this, but it might be a case of which team can out-score the other

Manchester United kick-started their season with an unexpected victory over Liverpool, but the omens aren’t good ahead of Erik ten Hag’s team’s trip to the south coast to face Southampton. United have lost their last seven away matches in the Premier League. They have also failed to score in five of their last six games in the division.
Southampton, on the other hand, have found the back of the net in each of their three Premier League fixture this season. The south coast outfit haven’t found their best form this season, but Che Adams is in good shape with new signings Joe Aribo and Sekou Mara bedding in nicely for the Saints.
