Liverpool vs Everton
Wednesday 4th December 2019
FA Premier League, Anfield
Live on Amazon Prime – Kick Off: 20:15 GMT
Liverpool line up at Anfield for third time in a week as they host Everton in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Jurgen Klopp’s side will be hoping to maintain their healthy lead at the top of the Premier League but could see their eleven-point lead reduced to eight before Wednesday’s kick-off, if Manchester City are victorious away to Burnley on Tuesday evening.
The reds extended their Premier League unbeaten run this season to fourteen matches on Saturday, following the 2-1 home victory over Brighton. Liverpool will however be without Goalkeeper Alisson, who was given a straight red card for handling outside his area in the weekends game. Adrian is poised to return in between the sticks.
It got from bad to worse for Marco Silva’s Everton side at the weekend, as yet another league defeat saw them slide even further down the table. The Toffee’s were defeated 2-1 away to 2nd placed Leicester City on Sunday. Kelechi Iheanacho’s 94th minute strike secured all three points for the Foxes, a game in which they trailed for long parts following Richarlison’s early opener for Everton. The defeat condemned Marco Silva’s side to back-to-back defeats and saw them slip to 17th in the league.
Wednesday night’s clash will be the 54th time these two have met in the Premier League, and the 234th meeting between the two sides overall. It’s Liverpool who have the far superior record though, and the Reds boast a nine-year unbeaten run against the Toffee’s. Everton haven’t won against Liverpool in their last nineteen attempts and haven’t won at Anfield since September 1999. Grim viewing for any Evertonian.
Liverpool won the last meeting between the two at Anfield 1-0, thanks to Divock Origi’s crazy 96th minute winner last season; a goal which saw Virgil van Dijk’s shot ricochet off the crossbar twice, before Origi headed home.
When it comes to the Merseyside Derby, no other clash in Premier League history comes close for it’s disciplinary. In the 54 previous meetings between the two, there has been 21 red cards. And when it comes to yellow cards, only Chelsea vs Manchester United has seen more yellow cards awarded. There has been 233 yellow cards in the previous 233 Merseyside Derbies.
The referee for this fixture is Mike Dean. The 51-year old has been involved in eleven top-flight matches so far this season, awarding fifty-two yellow cards and two red cards. This considered, as well as the occasion, I would recommend a minimum of 40+ booking points. Wednesday nights clash will be the first time this season that Dean has taken charge of a match involving these two sides.
This match will be shown live on Amazon Prime video, with kick-off scheduled to take place at 20:15 GMT on Wednesday evening.

Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Wednesday 4th December 2019
FA Premier League, Old Trafford
Live on Amazon Prime – Kick Off: 19:30 GMT
Jose Mourinho returns to his former club as Tottenham travel to Manchester United in Wednesday night Premier League action.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in desperate need of a win as reports have surfaced that his future at Old Trafford is on thin ice. Meanwhile, Mourinho is still settling into life at Spurs and is chasing down the top four.
Manchester United are priced at 13/8 to win the match on SkyBet and potentially save Solskjaer’s job for now. The Red Devils have been under plenty of scrutiny this season for their below par performances and results. They are currently ninth in the Premier League but have been less than convincing in most of their matches. Marcus Rashford has shown moments of brilliance and will want to steal the headlines this Wednesday night. He is priced at 7/5 to score anytime.
Tottenham are priced at 8/5 to win the match and add to their five-match unbeaten run in all competitions. Mourinho has hit the ground running at Spurs and his side are chasing down the top four in the league. His side are free flowing in attack and the Portuguese boss seems to have revitalised Dele Alli.
The attacking midfielder grabbed a brace in their previous win against Bournemouth and is priced at 14/5 to score anytime. Striker Harry Kane is also still finding the back of the net with ease and has seven goals in this campaign. He is priced at 7/2 to score first.
The referee for this match will be Paul Tierney. The official has been one of the more lenient in the topflight and has averaged 30.9 booking points from his eleven Premier League matches in charge. SkyBet are offering 11/10 for 50+ booking points in this grudge match.
Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur will be televised on Amazon Prime Video and kicks off at 19:30.
Prediction: Manchester United 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur
– The visitors are in fine form under Mourinho and their forward players will be too much for United’s shaky defence.

Burnley vs Manchester City
Tuesday 3rd December 2019
FA Premier League, Turf Moor
Live on Amazon Prime – Kick Off: 20:15 GMT
Manchester City look to return to winning ways in the Premier League as they travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley on Tuesday night.
Pep Guardiola’s side were held 2-2 at St James’ Park thanks to Jonjo Shelvey’s late leveller at the weekend, a result which left City eight points behind leaders Liverpool, but that margin was soon extended following Jurgen Klopp’s sides win against Brighton. City now train the Reds by eleven points in the league.
Burnley themselves were without a win in their most recent Premier League encounter. The Clarets were defeated 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace, their third home league defeat of the season. Sean Dyche’s side have lost six of their opening fourteen league outings so far this.
Picking up victories on the road has been a thorn in the side of last seasons champions Manchester City. City have lost three games this season after fourteen matches, which is one less than they managed for the whole of last seasons campaign. City have lost on the road this season, (to Norwich and Liverpool).
If the recent form between these two sides is anything to go by, then there’s only one likely outcome. City boast an incredible record against Tuesday nights opponents and have lost once in their last twenty-two against Burnley. Burnley’s last win over the Citizens was back in 201, where George Boyd fired home a late winner.
The referee for this encounter is Jonathan Moss. The 49-year old has taken charge of ten matches this season in the Premier League, accumulating a total of forty yellow cards, and two red cards in these fixtures. This considered, I would recommend a minimum of 30+ booking points for this clash. Moss has taken charge of matches involving both sides so far this campaign. He oversaw City’s 2-0 victory over Brighton where he awarded two yellow cards, and Burnley’s 2-1 away defeat to Leicester, where he awarded three yellow cards.
This match will be shown live on new Premier League broadcasters Amazon Prime, with kick-off scheduled to take place at 20:15 GMT.
