Liverpool will look to extend their perfect start to the EPL season to seven games, as they visit Bramall Lane on Saturday to face newly-promoted Sheffield United.<\/p>\n
The Reds made it six from six when they defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend, and were able to rest their stars during a routine 2-0 win over MK Dons in the Carabao Cup during the week.<\/p>\n
The stats don\u2019t really bode well for the Blades, with Liverpool winning their past 12 games against newly-promoted sides, scoring 35 goals during those matches, and conceding just four.<\/p>\n
An impressive 2-0 away win at Everton last week certainly showcased what United are capable of, although a home loss to Sunderland in the Cup was a disappointing result.<\/p>\n
The Blades find themselves in 10th position after six games, which is certainly a pass mark at this stage of the season, although it\u2019s hard to see a way in which the Reds don\u2019t grab all three points.<\/p>\n
Prediction: Liverpool -1.0 @ $1.90<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Now, that\u2019s how you bounce back from a loss to Norwich. Manchester City were at their destructive best against Watford last weekend, putting eight goals past the helpless Hornets.<\/p>\n City led 5-0 after 18 minutes and were nothing short of dominant, which certainly got them back on track following the slip up against the Canaries.<\/p>\n Everton had 16 shots to two and dominated possession 70-30 against Sheffield last weekend, although came away on the wrong side of a 2-0 result.<\/p>\n The Toffees have had a poor start to the season, winning just two games and losing three to sit in 14th place, just three points above the drop zone.<\/p>\n City represents a different challenge this weekend and certainly a major one, with the Toffees winning just one of their past 12 Premier League matches against them.<\/p>\n City should continue to keep the pressure on Liverpool with a win here.<\/p>\n Prediction: Manchester City to keep a clean sheet \u2013 Yes @ $2.00<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s easily the biggest match-up of the weekend, and arguably the most important matches these two sides will play for a while.<\/p>\n United have won just one match from their past five Premier League games, while the Gunners have just two wins from five.<\/p>\n If Liverpool defeat Sheffield United on Saturday, they would hold a 10-point lead over Arsenal should United triumph, or put a massive 13-point gap between themselves and United if Unai Emery\u2019s side grabs all three points.<\/p>\n At this stage of the season, those gaps are just too big.<\/p>\n Both clubs need a win in order to stick with the top four, and United need the points especially, given they current sit three points behind Arsenal.<\/p>\n To fall six points behind the Gunners and potentially fall outside the top 10 after seven matches, it would be a disaster for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.<\/p>\n Marcus Rashford will miss the clash as United continue to struggle with fit forwards, and with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in form and Nicolas Pepe scoring his first EPL goal last weekend, signs are pointing to a Gunners victory.<\/p>\nEverton vs Manchester City<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n
