Arsenal v Spurs
Premier League – 2.05 pm
Sky Sports
When Arsenal upped sticks and moved from Plumstead into North London back in 1913, it created one of the greatest rivalries in football. They had encroached on Tottenham territory with their move and thankfully they did because it leaves us with mouth-watering rivalry showdowns in the North London derby. It’s on on Sunday once again and the Gunners will be looking to make it back to back home wins over their rivals.
Unai Emery’s men are a general 13/8 at top bookmakers to achieve that victory. Arsenal are actually unbeaten in their last seven home games against Tottenham so have a bit of wind in their sails on home soil in the North London derby. But then again it is so hard to write off Spurs and a glance at their away form in the Premier League this season is a clear testament to that. The Lilywhites have posted a W7 L1 record in their eight away games this season, in what is a stunning record. Will they be able to improve upon that as they head to the Emirates where they are at 7/4 to pull off the win?
Liverpool v Everton
Premier League – 4:15 pm
Sky Sports
If once fierce rivalry for a day isn’t enough then following the North London derby in the Premier League attention shifts north for the Merseyside derby. It’s going to be a lot to absorb in the Best Bets of the Day! Liverpool, who lost in the UEFA Champions League at PSG in midweek will be looking to defend their unbeaten record in this season’s Premier League. Their form at Anfield has seen them drop just the two points in six fixtures (a draw against leaders Man City) and the defence of the Reds has seen them concede just the once on home soil.
Everton have made clear improvements under new boss Marco Silva and they are ten points better off than they were at this stage of last season’s campaign. So credit where credit is due but they are looking to end a massive 17 match winless streak in the Merseyside derby against their rivals. It’s been a long wait. Are the Toffees overdue one? Who is the one club in the league that Liverpool would least like to lose their unbeaten record to? Their neighbours from across Stanley Park. The Toffees are going to have to overcome massive 8/1 underdog odds though in opposition to the Reds who are odds on favourites.
Cleveland @ Houston
NFL 6.30 pm
Sky Sports
You can while away the hours on Sunday evening by dipping into a bit of NFL action from across the pond. Sky Sports have AFC action with the Texans playing host to the Cleveland Browns. Houston are in control of the AFC East with an 8-3 record on the board and after their slow start to the season have strung together eight straight victories. With home soil advantage for the weekend, it’s little surprise on the back of that they are going as a general odds-on price of 2/5 for the win with the top bookmakers.
The Browns had a big day out last weekend as they snapped a 25 match losing streak away from home with a victory in Cincinnati. Now that they have put that miserable record behind them, can they go and pull out back to back road wins? The odds may be against them but this season, they are already four wins better off than they were after eleven games of last season. That is the joint-biggest increase (alongside Houston) this term. Cleveland have lost their last four against the Texans and have been outscored 102-42 in those games, but just as last week proved, streaks can easily be snapped.
