12:30 Saturday

Man City vs Liverpool - Darwin Nunez

Advised Bet: 1pt @ 11/4 (bet365)

Jurgen Klopp lambasted the scheduling of Liverpool’s game with Manchester City. It has been pushed forward to 12:30 this Saturday and his gripe is understandable given the myriad of players returning from international duty on both sides of the Pennines.

Darwin Nunez is one of the above but unlike his fellow professionals, the Uruguayan is reaping the rewards of representing his nation.

 

Marcelo Bielsa is getting a tune out of the frontman in South America. He scored three times in two games against Argentina and Bolivia taking his tally to 12 for the season.

Following the last international break, Nunez found the net in each of his following three starts for the Reds.

Burnley vs West Ham - Danny Ings

Advised Bet: 1pt @ 21/20 (General)

Jarrod Bowen was sent home early from the England camp and is a major doubt for West Ham’s trip to Turf Moor. This should see Danny Ings lead the line for the visitors.

Ings’ career peaked on the south coast with Southampton where he bagged 34 league goals in two seasons. Since then, he has slowly regressed to an understudy but is still as clinical as ever.

Last season, he found the net eight times, despite only starting 15 games. Although he is yet to find the net this campaign he could haunt his former employers Burnley, who have shipped the second most goals in the division.

15:00 Saturday

Newcastle vs Chelsea - Anthony Gordon

Advised Bet: 1pt @ 9/2 (Unibet)

There was a time Chelsea were in hot pursuit of Anythony Gordon. Despite their best efforts, the Blues failed to land the former Evertonion and I am hoping their former transfer target comes back to haunt them this weekend.

Unibet’s price of 9/2 is a market leader by some distance, the next best is 11/4 but it is as short as 21/10 with some firms. 

Gordon has added end product to his potential having a direct hand in six goals this campaign, interestingly half of his goals have come against ‘Big Six’ opponents.
