Burnley v Everton

There were increasing murmurs surrounding Marco Silva's future at Everton and, although they lost last time out, the performance was much more encouraging.

Losing was understandable against champions Manchester City at Goodison and the 3-1 scoreline was probably flattering for the visitors and understated the Toffees' efforts.

Their stats had been so poor before this outing and they certainly stepped up and played for their manager, with eight attempts on target - the most Man City have faced in Pep Guardiola's 121 league games in charge.

Burnley are a different sort of opponent, with Sean Dyche's side starting reasonably well with nine points from their first seven games.

Everton can use last week as a springboard though and travel to Turf Moor without fear.

They are available at a nice odds-against price to find the back of the net in the first half, and a more appealing 6/4 to score 2+ goals in this game as they search for their third win of the campaign.

Key stats

• None of the 10 Premier League matches between Burnley and Everton have ended as draws – Burnley have won four and Everton have won six of the previous meetings.
• Burnley have gone on to lose their last five home league games in a row when they’ve conceded at least once, last winning without a clean sheet at Turf Moor against Spurs in February (2-1).
• Everton’s last four goals in all competitions have been scored by Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The striker is looking to score in four consecutive appearances in all comps for the first time in his career.

Liverpool v Leicester

A huge game for title hopefuls Liverpool going into the international break - a shame this is not on TV as it could be a cracker.

Brendan Rodgers makes his return to Anfield with high-flying Leicester and he will have learned from their away defeat at Manchester United last month about how they approach games on the road against top-six rivals.

For all Liverpool's positives this term, with seven wins from seven and 16 in a row in the league in total, they have kept just two clean sheets so far and surrendered a three-goal lead at home to Salzburg on Wednesday before Mo Salah eventually finishing the game off.

Leicester showed last week alone, with the help of Newcastle of course, that they know where the back of the net is by scoring five.
