LIVERPOOL-EVERTON (14:30)
With the big Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton, the curtain opens on the 5th matchday in the Premier League. The game will be played at "Anfield", with the English champions entering the battle with psychology from their victory in the Champions League premiere. The "reds" repeated themselves. They led 2-0, equalized and with a goal in stoppage time they prevailed 3-2 over Atletico Madrid.

Everton, for their part, are coming off a 0-0 draw at home with Aston Villa, but remain unbeaten in four consecutive games in all competitions and want to continue their positive start.

Liverpool is a logical favorite.

AKRITAS CHLORAKAS-APOEL (19:00)


APOEL travels to Paphos, aiming to confirm the title of favorite and celebrate its third victory in four games. Pablo Garcia's team faces Akritas Chlorakas, hoping to continue the winning streak, after the double in Paralimni against the Union.

The "blue and yellows" have so far taken the challenge against theoretically inferior opponents and this is what they will seek to do today, with the Uruguayan coach having all his "weapons" at his disposal and lining up the best possible eleven.

On the other hand, Alexis Garpozis' team suffered its first defeat in the league by Omonia with 3-0 and against APOEL recognizes the difficulty of the mission. The goal for Akritas is a good performance and, if possible, to win a positive result. There are no competitive problems.

ETHNIKOS ACHNAS-ANORTHOSIS (19:00)


Ethnikos Achnas hosts Anorthosis in Dasaki, in a match that comes with particular interest as both teams come from positive results, but with a different imprint.

The team of Achna lived... mixed feelings last matchday, since while leading 2-0 against AEL, they conceded the equalizer in the 90+7 ́ and limited themselves to the point. However, it was preceded by the great victory over Omonia, a result that confirms the positive start of the season and the fact that it remains undefeated.

On the other hand, Anorthosis travels to Achna with the aura of Timur Ketspaya. In his debut, the "Lady" reacted against AEK at the "Antonis Papadopoulos", drawing 1-1 and getting a valuable point. Now, the goal of the Famagusta team is the first victory of the season, which will give even more impetus to the new start with the Georgian coach on the bench.

VERONA-JUVENTUS (19:00)


Juventus travels with momentum to Verona's headquarters, aiming to continue its positive performances and results. The "Great Lady" stayed on their feet in the Champions League premiere against Dortmund, thanks to two goals in stoppage time, in one of the most spectacular games of the first matchday (4-4).

In the league, Juve counts the absolute, three wins in as many matches, with the most recent being the impressive 4-3 win over Inter. Offensively, they look unstoppable, scoring with characteristic ease, however their defensive behavior continues to be a concern, as they concede goals with great frequency.

On the other hand, Verona is still looking for its first win of the season, with the hosts looking to achieve the big result against a great opponent.

MANCHESTER UNITED-CHELSEA (19:30)


Manchester United are unable to raise their heads, showing that they will remain in the role of extras this year as well. After their only victory in the league against Burnley, they succumbed with characteristic ease in the away derby in Manchester, suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat by City.

Today they welcome Chelsea to "Old Trafford", which is in better shape, although with several ups and downs in its performance and results. The "blues" are coming off their first defeat of the season, 3-1 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League opener, and want to return to winning ways immediately.

In the betting markets, Chelsea is given as a marginal favorite, with their performance even showing a decline.
