Andoni Iraola takes charge of Liverpool for the first time in a competitive game at Anfield today and will be looking to kickstart their Premier League campaign with a win over Nottingham Forest.
The Reds needed a last-gasp penalty to salvage a 2-2 draw at Newcastle last weekend and that showed they are very much a work in progress under the Basque coach.
But the bookies make them heavy favourites to see off a Forest side who have lost their first two games under Oliver Glasner.
Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest top betting tips
It looked like Nottingham Forest had made a smart appointment after landing Glasner from Crystal Palace but the Austrian has kicked off with successive home defeats to Leeds in league and cup.
Glasner's side failed to score in both those games so fans will be getting a bit concerned and Bet365 make them 5/1 outsiders at Anfield.
Liverpool's defence still looks a bit vulnerable though and Forest could get off the mark for the season if they create a few chances. Combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays evens at Bet365.
Dominik Szoboszlai was the only Liverpool star to shine last term and the Hungarian stepped up to save his side last week with a nerveless late penalty.
The midfielder looks like being a key man again under Iraola and he's a tempting 21/20 to score or assist this afternoon.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United
It's hard to know what to expect from Tottenham tonight after they followed up a dismal loss at Brentford by spanking Charlton 5-1 in the EFL Cup.
Newcastle are the visitors to North London and they only squeezed past West Brom 3-2 in the cup on Wednesday night after that opening draw with Liverpool.
It looks like the Magpies will play an expansive style of football under Matthias Jaissle so going for goals appears to be the best option tonight.
Combining BTTS and over 2.5 strikes only pays 5/6 at Bet365 but over 1.5 first-half goals is better at 11/8.
Spurs new boy Sandro Tonali will be desperate to impress against his old club and the Italian is also 11/8 to have an effort on target.
Coventry City vs Hull City
Two of the promoted sides face off in Coventry today and Frank Lampard will be hoping home advantage can fire his side to a first Premier League win against Hull City.
Coventry City had a daunting opener away to Arsenal and the step up in class proved too big as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat.
Hull fared much better in their first game back in the top flight, turning in a fantastic display to shock Manchester United in a 2-0 home victory.
That will have boosted confidence but they finished 22 points behind Coventry in the Championship last term and are 16/5 outsiders today.
Both meetings last term ended in 0-0 draws though and that made it three stalemates in a row between these sides. It points to a close game and the half-time draw is 5/4 this afternoon.
Lampard's side won 8-2 on the corner count when the Tigers last came calling so Coventry -2 in that handicap appeals today at evens with Bet365.

I should have went for goals LOSERS
So then…It’s time to kick on, and let the bookies pay again today. I have 2 MAIN TIPS for you all, with the second being posted around 5pm later on this afternoon.
1. Liverpool v Nottingham Forest – England 🏴 Premier League – Kick Off: – 12:30pm – “Dominik Szoboslazi” TO HAVE A SHOT ON TARGET
2. Oldham Athletic v Swindon – England 🏴 League 2 – Kick Off: – 3:00pm – OVER 1.5 MATCH GOALS
Szoboszlai looks a strong option in this market after making a big impact in Liverpool’s opening game, scoring the late penalty to rescue a point at Newcastle. He has also been directly involved in 11 goals across his last 16 Premier League appearances, showing just how influential he has become in Liverpool’s attacking play. With Liverpool expected to dominate possession and create plenty of opportunities at Anfield, I like Szoboszlai to test the Forest goalkeeper at least once 🎯
I’m expecting this to be an open enough League Two contest for us to see at least two goals. Current statistical models put Over 1.5 goals at around 70%, while another current market has Over 1.5 priced very short, reflecting the expectation of goals. Two goals is all we need here, whether that comes from a 2-0, 1-1 or 2-1 result ⚽️
DOUBLE PAYS: – 1.02/1 @ Bet365 and other various bookmakers.
Points Advised: 70 Points ⭐X70

Did warn him about level betting and keeping feet firmly on the ground but obviously thinks he knows more than the betting industry 🤔,well tail between legs time and hopefully lesson learnt,boasting about how great he is,well never saw anything on the news about the undisputed King of betting Mr Ghapmaster🤣🤣,awful odds as well🤡
Happy Saturday 🤑👍🏽

Morning All
I’ve been trying to post my Saturday BASI double but each time I press submit nothing seems to be posting. Apologies in advance if my posts end up showing over and over again, but so far nothing I can see visible apart from my morning message. Will keep trying 🤑
Hi Ghapmaster, for some reason your posts from today have been automatically deleted. Not sure why, I will check it with our tech team if it happens again. My guess is that they were marked as spam since you’ve tried to post the same thing many times within minutes after the first post didn’t go through. Next time wait a little bit more, like 10 mins, then refresh the page to check if the post appeared before trying to submit again. All the best, Admin.

@Deano
I posted on the thread around the 31.08.2026, but happy to re share via X if easier as not all posts appearing here mate. Have you seen my double for today ?
@Deano
I’ve found it mate for you, I will also post on Mr Fix It X page in today’s tips page comments section where my tip for today is.
I’m working on the basis of each point being equal to £10. Please note, this may differ for each person as 1 point to you might = £1. At the end of each month, I will be working out my ROI (return on investment) by simply calculating the total points advised, and total points returned
