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.
