Man Utd v Liverpool Odds: Back Javier Hernandez to score last

The live Saturday lunchtime offering in the Premier League is a mouth-watering and potentially controversial affair as Manchester United host Liverpool at Old Trafford. United start the match as 5/6 favourites, while Liverpool are priced 10/3 and the draw 13/5 by Paddy Power, but the main focus will be on Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra.

Suarez and Evra meet for the first time since the Liverpool man was charged with racially abusing Evra. Paddy Power go 4/11 for the pair to shake hands on Saturday and 15/8 that the pair avoid a handshake. Furthermore, the Irish bookmaker will refund all losing first/last scorer, correct score and scorecast single bets if Luis Suarez scores anytime at Old Trafford.

Bearing that in mind, it could be worth a look at Javier Hernandez to score last at odds of 11/2. Hernandez scored in the final ten minutes of both Man Utd v Liverpool matches last season and he repeated the trick with a late equaliser in the thrilling 3-3 draw with Chelsea last weekend. Furthermore, paddy power go evens that the last goal of Saturday's match is scored after the 73rd minute.

United should be buoyant after they fought back from 3-0 down at Stamford Bridge and they will be looking to extend a formidable home record against Liverpool. They have won 29 and lost only two of their last 33 league games at Old Trafford and they have won seven of their last eight at home against Liverpool.

Furthermore, they have scored sixteen in their last five fixtures at Old Trafford and they have scored in every league match there, with over 2.5 goals available at 5/6. With their injury crisis easing, as Nani, Phil Jones and Tom Cleverley near full fitness, United look well set to step up their title bid.

The concern for Liverpool will be their lack of goals this season as they have scored just 28 goals in 24 league games. They have the worst conversion rate of chances in the league and United can be backed at 6/4 to keep a clean sheet and 9/4 to win to nil with Paddy Power, which looks decent value as they have kept clean sheets in three of their last four at home.

Liverpool, who welcome Jose Enrique back from injury, may have won four of the last seven matches against United but their recent domestic form has been pretty poor as they have won just two of their last six in all competitions. They did beat United 2-1 in the FA Cup two weeks ago but even the most faithful Liverpool fan would admit that they were lucky.

We expect United to gain swift revenge for that defeat, although it could be a controversial match as there have been four penalties in the last six meetings between the two, with Paddy Power going 2/1 for Phil Dowd to award a penalty on Saturday.

With Paddy Power's money back offer in mind, it could be worth a punt on the correct score of 2-1 to United at odds of 7/1 as they look to move to the top of the Premier League, with Man City not in action until Sunday.

Sunderland v West Brom preview

Bruce seeking home comforts as Baggies visit

Sunderland face West Brom at the Stadium of Light on Saturday with Black Cats boss Steve Bruce eager to put a difficult week behind him.

It started with a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Norwich on Monday evening before defender Titus Bramble was arrested and then bailed for an alleged sexual assault and possession of a Class A drug.

The 30-year-old was swiftly suspended by the club until the police investigation is completed with Bruce keen to switch the attention back to matters on the pitch.

Not that things are much better on the field. The north east club are back in 15th with just five points from their opening six games.

That poor form stretches back into last season, particularly at the Stadium of Light.

They have won just three matches at home since the turn of the year, with one of those against Stoke a fortnight ago.

That 4-0 win over the Potters looked to have got Sunderland's stuttering season going, before this week's defeat at Carrow Road set them back once again.
The club's home displays proved to be the backbone of a solid start to the last campaign and Bruce is hoping a return to that form will lead to an early season revival.

Things haven't been much better for West Brom either. Roy Hodgson's men have won just once all season and currently sit second bottom in the table.

The former Liverpool boss is desperate for the club to avoid a repeat of last year, where a mid-season slump, which led to Hodgson replacing Roberto Di Matteo, meant they needed a remarkable run of results to keep themselves in the Premier League.

That feat, of course, was famously achieved but the Baggies will be keen not to make life difficult for themselves in the final third of the season by picking up some early points to lift them up the table.

Recent history suggests that Sunderland could be the ideal opponents for the Midlands club. The Baggies have taken more points away from home against the Wearsiders - seven - than against any other Premier League opponent and have won their last three games against the Black Cats.
Team news

Bramble will definitely miss the game after being suspended by the club until an investigation into allegations of sexual assault and possession of a Class A drug has been completed.

Midfielder Sebastian Larsson has been playing after having pain-killing injections in a broken toe and his condition will be assessed, while striker Connor Wickham (groin) is a doubt and Craig Gordon and Fraizer Campbell (both knee) continue to work their way back to fitness.

West Brom central defender Gabriel Tamas is available for selection after completing a three-game suspension. But he faces a battle to regain his place following an impressive performance by summer signing Gareth McAuley in last weekend's goalless home draw with Fulham.

Defender Craig Dawson is expected to recover from the illness which meant he was unable to train on Thursday, but midfielder Zoltan Gera and striker Marc-Antoine Fortune are still sidelined through injury.

Possible starting XIs:

Sunderland: Mignolet, Brown, Richardson, O'Shea, Turner, Larsson, Gardner, Vaughan, Elmohamady, Sessegnon, Bendtner.

West Brom: Foster, Olsson, Shorey, McAuley, Brunt, Reid, Thomas, Dorrans, Mulumbu, Long, Odemwingie.

Aston Villa v Wigan preview

Aston Villa will be hoping to extend their unbeaten start to the Premier League season when they come up against a Wigan side on a three-match losing streak.

Villa have been in consistent form during the early part of the campaign to take up a place in the top half of the table but manager Alex McLeish will feel it could have been even better.

They came within seconds of securing victory against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road last weekend, only for Richard Dunne to score his ninth own goal in the Premier League in stoppage time.

It was Villa's fourth consecutive draw and McLeish will now be determined to return to winning ways at home to the Latics on Saturday.

McLeish has been boosted by the news that several key players are set to be fit, with on-loan Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas in contention to make his debut after recovering from a thigh problem.

Record signing Darren Bent has shaken off a groin injury, while fellow striker Emile Heskey is also in the frame after a recent hamstring setback.

Carlos Cuellar, Chris Herd and Eric Lichaj remain sidelined, but McLeish will give a late fitness test to defender James Collins who suffered an ankle knock against QPR.
Charles N'Zogbia is set to line up against his former club after sealing a switch from Wigan during the transfer window, despite making a slow start to his time at Villa and admitting he would rather play on the right wing than the left.
Wigan news

Roberto Martinez has backed the Frenchman to come good but will be hoping it does not happen this weekend, as the Latics look to maintain an impressive recent record at Villa Park.

Martinez was targeted for the managerial role at Villa over the summer but opted not to go anywhere as he felt he could take the Latics further.

Wigan's impressive start to the new season has unravelled somewhat following three straight defeats, although they have not lost four in a row since October 2008.

The 2-1 loss to Tottenham last time out left Martinez's men 15th in the table on five points, but they can draw level with Villa by winning in the Midlands.

Wigan defender Emmerson Boyce is close to a recall having recovered from the hamstring problem which has kept him out of the last two league matches.

His return would be welcome as Steve Gohouri is suspended having been sent off against Tottenham last week.

Fellow defender Antolin Alcaraz (thigh) and striker Hugo Rodallega (knee) are unavailable.

Possible starting XIs

Aston Villa: Given, Hutton, Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Albrighton, Petrov, Delph, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Bent.

Wigan: Al Habsi, Van Aanholt, Boyce, Caldwell, Figueroa, Watson, Gomez, McCarthy, Diame, Moses, Di Santo.

Man Utd v Norwich preview

Manchester United host Premier League newcomers Norwich looking to bounce back from their midweek draw with Basel.

The Premier League champions were two goals to the good at Old Trafford in the UEFA Champions League clash before the Swiss side looked like causing a shock with three unanswered goals.

Ashley Young's last-minute effort saved the Red Devils' blushes and boss Sir Alex Ferguson will be demanding a reaction against the Canaries as his side aim to maintain their perfect home league record.

But the Canaries go into the game on a high after beating Sunderland 2-1 at Carrow Road on Monday night to rise to the heady heights of ninth in the table.

That victory followed a 1-0 win at Bolton as Paul Lambert's side have now fully found their feet in the top flight.
Team news

Danny Welbeck may find himself back on the bench when Norwich visit despite scoring two goals in the Champions League in midweek.

For Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez are back from injury for the visit of the Canaires.

Chris Smalling (groin), Nemanja Vidic (ankle) are still missing and could return after the international break, but Jonny Evans has recovered from his ankle injury and is available to bolster Ferguson's defensive options.

Midfield duo Tom Cleverley and Darron Gibson are long-term absentees with foot and ankle problems respectively.

For Norwich, Lambert has confirmed striker James Vaughan will be out for several months with a knee injury.

The 23-year-old hobbled off after coming on as a second-half substitute during the Canaries' defeat of Sunderland on Monday night.
