Liverpool welcomed the international break like a boxer on the ropes waiting for the bill to ring after losing three games in a row in all competitions.
Arne Slot will now be looking for the Reds to come out swinging today as they take on a Manchester United side who have suffered their fair share of blows under Ruben Amorim.
And with the Anfield crowd roaring them on, the Reds are hot favourites with the bookies to get back to winning ways.
Liverpool vs Manchester United top betting tips
Had this game taken place a month ago, you’d imagine Liverpool would have been much shorter than the 4/7 on offer at BoyleSports.
But their recent slump and wins for United over Chelsea and Sunderland have put a seed of doubt in the bookies’ mind.
Amorim’s side still look ill equipped for a trip to Anfield though and combining the home win with over 2.5 goals pays evens.
Mo Salah hasn’t been at his best this season but this fixture always brings out the best in him. He has scored 16 times in 17 games against United and is 21/20 to keep that incredible record going.
I’m more drawn to the 6/5 on offer at BoyleSports for Salah to have over 1.5 efforts on target.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa
Unlike Liverpool, Aston Villa would have been gutted when the international break came around after finally hitting form.
Unai Emery’s side won four in a row to spark their season into life but face a tough game on their return away to high-flying Tottenham.
Thomas Frank has enjoyed a superb start at Spurs, losing just once in 10 games, and that’s why BoyleSports make his side 21/20 favourites.
Villa are 5/2 outsiders but the draw looks tempting at 5/2. I’m going to play it a bit safer and back the half-time stalemate at 23/20.
Frank oversaw some thrillers against Villa in his Brentford days, with BTTS landing in four of his last five games against them.
Backing both teams to score pays 4/6 today and adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 6/5.
Dundee vs Celtic
Celtic haven’t been firing on all cylinders this season but they should still have too much quality for a poor Dundee side today.
The Dark Blues claimed a shock 1-1 draw at Ibrox earlier in the season but there hasn’t been much else for their fans to shout about.
Steven Pressley’s side sit second bottom of the table and were thrashed 4-0 by Aberdeen before the international break.
That suggests Celtic’s attack could get a bit of joy and striker Kelechi Iheanacho looks good value at 11/10 with BoyleSports for a goal.
The Nigerian is getting close to full fitness and seems to be on the penalties for the Hoops this season.
Celtic are usually good value for corners and backing them for over 8.5 flag kicks at Dens pays 7/5 with BoyleSports.
