The Premier League wastes no time and rolls straight into Matchday 31 this weekend.
The pregame narrative: Liverpool has seen some disappointing results in other competitions recently but is still dominating league competition. I’ll back the Reds to win over Fulham while taking a shot on Omar Marmoush to score for Manchester City.

Best Bet: Liverpool to win (-118)
In the span of a week, Liverpool was eliminated from the EFL Cup and the Champions League.
All that’s left is the Premiership and I believe a statement win is in the works for the leaders this weekend.
- Liverpool has won 10 of its 15 road games.
- Fulham has lost two of its last three home games.
- The Reds are undefeated in the league since Sept. 14, winning 19 of those 26 matches (73.1%) straight up.
There is no beating Liverpool right now. A draw is in the cards, but the Reds have won four straight league matches. I’ll ride their momentum into a match with a struggling Fulham side.
Key stat: Liverpool ranks first in goals for (2.3), while allowing the second-fewest goals against (0.9), per Fotmob.
Quick pick
Marmoush to score (+120): Erling Haaland is going to be sidelined for the foreseeable future. That leaves a big hole for Marmoush to fill in Manchester City’s offence.
He did a great job, however, against Leicester City on the weekend. Marmoush started the match and recorded nine shots (three on target), leading to a goal.
In fact, the Egyptian scored in his previous three matches, even though he only started two of them.
Marmoush has five EPL goals in eight appearances this season (seven starts) but has been stashed behind Haaland.
With his superstar teammate out of the picture for the time being, it’s the forward’s time to shine.
Manchester United concedes 1.4 goals per match, which is a below-average scoring defence.
