Manchester City to beat Everton @ 17/40

Four-fold @ 8/1
Entertainment on the agenda at Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace have had a couple of weeks to reflect on what was an unfortunate defeat at Everton which brought a 19-match unbeaten run to an end and Oliver Glasner’s team are likely to fly out of the blocks in an interesting game against Bournemouth.
The Cherries just missed out on a European place last season, but are proving a match for anyone as they have not lost since they gave Liverpool a real fright at Anfield in a 4-2 defeat on the opening night.
Andoni Iraola’s side are a great threat going forward, with Antoine Semenyo proving the star of the show and we could be in for a treat at Selhurst Park with both teams scoring.
Leg 1: Crystal Palace versus Bournemouth BTTS @ 7/10
Grealish absence could be telling for Toffees
Everton needed a late Jack Grealish goal to claim a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in their final game before the break, but the wideman will not be able to play against his parent club Manchester City, which is likely to affect the Toffees’ creative output.
Consequently, while that win over the in-form Eagles was a big boost for David Moyes’s team, it looks unlikely that they will be able to live with the Citizens.
There were plenty of changes at the Etihad over the summer, but one thing that can be relied upon is Erling Haaland’s goalscoring output.
The Norwegian has nine league goals this season already, including their winner at Brentford last time out, and can spur his team on to another victory.
Leg 2: Manchester City to beat Everton @ 17/40
Black Cats tough to crack at home
Sunderland will be delighted to be ninth after seven matches following their victory in the Championship play-offs and their form at the Stadium of Light has been strong since coming up.
The Black Cats have beaten West Ham and Brentford on Wearside while also earning a draw against Aston Villa, so they should be positive against Wolves, who are still seeking their first victory.
The Old Golds have recently earned draws against Tottenham and Brighton, but this could prove a difficult assignment.
Leg 3: Sunderland to beat Wolves @ 7/5
Gunners can maintain momentum
Arsenal have conceded just one goal from open play this season and, after three successive runner-up finishes in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta’s team are hoping they can finally come out on top this term.
They head to Fulham having won their last four matches and they should get the better of the Cottagers, who have struggled to create chances in recent games and suffered consecutive 3-1 defeats to Aston Villa and Bournemouth.
