All eyes are on Anfield today as Manchester City take on Liverpool in their first game since being found guilty of 144 breaches of Premier League financial regulations.
One story dominated the airwaves during the three-week international break and it will be fascinating to see how the City players respond this afternoon.
They made a perfect start to the Premier League season before the news broke but now head to an intimidating arena that will be even more hostile than usual.
Liverpool vs Manchester City top betting tips
Manchester City have always found Liverpool a tough nut to crack on Merseyside, even during their pomp under Pep Guardiola.
They won on their last visit thanks to a late Erling Haaland goal but had gone four matches without a victory at Anfield before that.
However, Bet365 still make City 5/4 favourites today and it's probably because Liverpool are missing key forwards Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo due to injuries.
Andoni Iraola's side have also looked suspect in defence so I fancy the 6/5 on offer for Erling Haaland to get over 1.5 shots on target.
City midfielder Enzo Fernandez will feed off the hostility and he's always worth backing for a card in a big game with plenty of needle.
The Argentine went into the book during the recent Manchester derby and is 11/4 at Bet365 for a repeat today.
Motherwell vs Celtic
Celtic were in crisis heading into the international break after three damaging losses in eight days, including a couple of bruising derby defeats to bitter rivals Rangers.
They return to action in the SPFL Premiership at Fir Park today and they're up against a Motherwell side who have also lost their last three matches.
Games between these sides were thrilling last season and the Steelmen set up to attack the Hoops under Jens Berthel Askou.
New boss Alfred Johansson plays the same attacking football and Motherwell could get a bit of joy against a Celtic defence that continues to look creaky.
It bodes well for goals this afternoon and backing over 1.5 first-half strikes pays 11/10 at Bet365.
Emmanuel Longelo is always a threat down the left flank for Motherwell and he's a tempting 3/1 for a goal or assist.
Southampton vs Portsmouth
There's a south coast derby in the EFL Championship today as Southampton bid to put Spygate firmly behind them.
Saints boss Tonda Eckert is free to lead the team into battle after being given a suspended six-week ban by league chiefs for his role in the Spygate affair.
Southampton also copped a four-point deduction at the start of this season but they quickly wiped that out and are now hunting down a play-off place.
Portsmouth sit two points behind them after a sluggish start, albeit having played a game fewer, so the stage is set for a tasty derby.
Southampton are 4/7 hot favourites with home advantage but backing them to be winning at half-time and full-time boosts the odds to 7/5.
Backing a busy day for the ref is usually a smart move in a derby and Portsmouth -1 in the card handicap pays a tempting 21/10.
