Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool: Roberto Firmino to score (+105), 7:30 am ET
Liverpool have gotten their Premier League campaign back on track in recent games, beating rivals Manchester City and European hopefuls West Ham both by a scoreline of 1-0. Part of their resurgence has been the improved form of Roberto Firmino, who now has 8 goals in 13 games in all competitions this season. In the injury-enforced absences of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz, the Brazilian is likely to get plenty of game time in the lead-up to the World Cup and also seems to have benefitted from the Reds’ move to a 4-4-2 formation.
Firmino can cause major problems for a Nottingham Forest defense that has conceded 23 goals this season, among the most in the Premier League. Take the 31-year-old to score in this matchup.
Crystal Palace ML over Everton (+190), 10:00 am ET
Everton failed to register a shot on target in their 1-0 loss to Newcastle on Wednesday and that made it 3 defeats in a row for the Toffees. Frank Lampard’s side has now won just 2 of their 11 matches and he faces the team of another Premier League midfield maestro on Saturday, Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace.
The Eagles have won 2 of their last 3 games, a pair of 2-1 victories over Leeds and Wolves respectively, and may have too much attacking quality for Everton. The visitors have lost just 1 of their last 6 games, a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea in which Conor Gallagher scored a late winner. They have the better form of these two teams and given Everton’s difficulty making any impact going forward, Crystal Palace can get the win.
Chelsea ML over Manchester United (+105), 12:30 pm ET
Manchester United put up arguably their best performance of the season on Wednesday with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham. However consistency has been a real issue for the Red Devils and they have been beaten twice away from home this season, 4-0 by Brentford and 6-3 by Manchester City.
They take on Chelsea on Saturday, who are unbeaten in six matches at home in all competitions, winning 4 of those. The Blues are unbeaten in the last five meetings between these two sides and look like a more complete team at the moment than Manchester United, who are still a work in progress under Erik ten Hag. Take Graham Potter’s Chelsea for the victory.
