Liverpool ran riot against Arsenal at Anfield last season, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 5-1 victory, and Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are 16-5 with William Hill to score four or more when the pair renew their rivalry on Merseyside Saturday evening.

Arsenal have leaked 22 goals in their last six trips to Anfield and bookmakers are taking a dim view of their chances – the Gunners can be backed at 11-2, while they are 8-1 with bet365 to keep a surprise clean sheet.

Roberto Firmino grabbed a hat-trick in the 5-1 demolition and the Brazilian is in rude health having scored the decisive goal in last weekend’s 2-1 win at Southampton.

Firmino is 5-1 to open the scoring, in a market Liverpool dominate with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane installed as the 7-2 joint-favourites.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, fresh from notching in a hard-fought 2-1 win at home to Burnley, is Arsenal’s shortest player in the betting at 7-1.

Hills make Marcus Rashford the 2-5 favourite to take Manchester United’s next penalty as a result of Paul Pogba’s miss from the spot in Monday’s 1-1 stalemate at Wolves.

The Frenchman has missed four of his 11 Premier League penalties and is 9-4 to take the Red Devils’ next spot-kick, while any other United player is an 8-1 chance.

Newcastle have lost their opening two matches and are 2-7 to suffer a third consecutive defeat at Tottenham.

The decision to appoint Steve Bruce is already coming under criticism and the Magpies manager is the 7-2 market leader to be the first Premier League manager to leave his post.

Crystal Palace’s Roy Hodgson, who faces a trip to Old Trafford, is a 4-1 shot, with Watford’s Javi Gracia next best at 6-1.
