Super Sunday double

Two bets worth having in the Premier League

This week’s Premier League Super Sunday sees both halves of the Merseyside derby face-off against either side of the Manchester divide. Everton get us up and running when hosting Man City at Goodison Park from 1.30pm, before Liverpool journey to the Theatre of Dreams to settle an old score with Man Utd.

With both crunch-ties played out in front of the Sky Sports cameras, armchair fans are catered for, and our football experts look at ways punters can ensure they get a slice of the pie too. Read on as we preview both matches and offer our views on how you can make your viewing pay.

Stats support Toffees win at a sweet offer

Everton and Manchester City clash for the second time this season, after the pair played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at the Etihad back in October. The Toffees struggled to find their feet this term, but have been seen improving of late and set-up for this latest test unbeaten in three, with wins over Leicester and Southampton, while ending level with Hull.

Despite leaking 23 goals in their first 20 league starts, it was a strong rear-guard that was responsible for that mini-revival, with each of those two wins coming without conceding a goal. That ties in nicely with recent meetings between Everton and City at this venue, with only one of the teams scoring in three of the last five. Both teams not to score looks a real option, with Coral serving up a fantastic 23/20 on that outcome. That’s sure to prove popular in the pre-match picks.

Man City have struggled for consistency of late, winning four and losing three in their last seven. They went down 1-0 to Liverpool on New Year’s Eve, meaning two of their last three has seen one team score, adding weight to our earlier point. Pep Guardiola’s arrival hasn’t worked out quite as successfully as fans would have hoped, and the Spaniard already appears to be wilting under the spotlight of the famous English media. Before backing the visitors you should know that, now they have played all of the current top-seven sides once, they’ve managed only two wins.
