With the International break now a mere dot on the horizon, the players involved have travelled back to England to play in the English Premier League. It is a potentially superb weekend of action, too, with the Merseyside derby and two matches between other massive rivals that will shape the top and bottom of the table in dramatic fashion whichever way the three points go.

Everton vs. Liverpool (Saturday, 12.30pm GMT kick-off)

What should, in theory, be a fantastic game must be tempered by a pre-match admission; the last three Goodison Park derby days have all been 0-0. That is an incredible enough statistic on its own merit, especially considering the defensive records of both sides during that period of over two and a half years. But add to that this weekend’s match features sides who so far have seen 39 goals either scored or conceded in their collective eight games played (an average of nearly five goals per game) and it really would be astonishing if this one were to finish goalless.

What could stop this being a goalfest? James Rodriguez is setting up goals for fun, while Liverpool let in seven (7) last time out at Aston Villa. With Mo Salah in good goalscoring form and Dominic Calvert-Lewin even putting the Egyptian in the shade, this could and should be packed full of goalmouth action.
