Our football betting expert and top tipster Jones Knows provides his insight on the Premier League card, predicting more misery for West Ham and Graham Potter.

Liverpool vs Everton, Saturday 12.30pm

David Moyes is one of the best pound-for-pound managers in English football.

There's lots of talk about renewed hope, a more attack-minded game plan and potentially a charge towards the European places, but it's really difficult to see how Moyes' approach at Anfield is going to lead to any points being banked.



Everton will give it their all on derby day, of course, and will be tough to break down, but Liverpool to win and under 3.5 goals at 11/8 with Sky Bet is a fantastic price to attack.



SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Liverpool to win and under 3.5 goals (11/8 with Sky Bet)Brighton vs Tottenham Hotspur, Saturday 3pm

Thomas Frank has worked wonders at Spurs in a remarkably short time, tightening up what was once a leaky defence into a disciplined, well-organised unit.

The under 2.5 goals line at 6/5 with Sky Bet makes plenty of appeal.

SCORE PREDICTION: 0-1 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Back under 2.5 goals (6/5 with Sky Bet)Burnley vs Nottingham Forest, Saturday 3pm

The abrupt managerial change at Nottingham Forest remains a difficult scenario to assess with serious questions about stability and style of play, and with Ange Postecoglou still settling in, Forest's performance levels and results could dip.

The players need time to adapt to new tactics and expectations, and that uncertainty is never a good look in the Premier League's unforgiving environment.

Meanwhile, Burnley showed just how difficult it is to break them down in their recent defeat to Liverpool, where for 93 minutes they delivered a masterclass in defensive resilience.

Just one goal scored from open play to a backdrop of 5.01 worth of expected goals is a significant underperformance and suggests big moments are being created, just not taken.

As is the case in football, those metrics usually correct themselves over a bigger sample size, therefore investing in United to start getting on a goal-train could be a profitable and wise move.

My eyes are drawn to Bryan Mbeumo to score at 5/2 with Sky Bet here.

To put up a 0.77 expected goals tally per 90 from a relatively soft set of fixtures is a horrendous return - only Wolves have posted a lower figure.

To carry this goal drought weight with you to a place like the Stadium of Light, where the home crowd is a 12th man and the team is expertly drilled, doesn't inspire much confidence that this is where things will spark for Villa.

The home side on the draw no bet at 6/4 with Sky Bet looks the way to play.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1Arsenal vs Manchester City, Sunday 4.30pm, live on Sky Sports

I'd have the chances closer to 50 per cent in this type of fiery fixture where Arsenal should edge it.
