Liverpool haven't made the ideal start, taking just one point from their opening three matches, but the Reds are fancied by bookies to pick up their first win of the campaign at Sunderland's expense.

Stan James have installed Brendan Rodgers' men as 13/10 favourites at the Stadium of Light, where they're 23/10, courtesy of BetVictor, to draw and the latter could prove popular given that the Black Cats' only two fixtures so far have finished all square.

However, this is Sunderland's first home match so they'll be keen to perform and with their opponents stuttering, Martin O'Neill's charges are overpriced at 23/10 with bet365.

Supporters seeking insurance can head to Skybet's 'draw no bet' market where the Black Cats are a 6/4 chance and, in what looks set to be a tight affair, BetVictor quote the Wearsiders 15/4 to prevail by one.

Clearly unhindered by his sizeable price tag, Steven Fletcher marked his debut by scoring twice at Swansea and he's an eye catching 7/1 (Stan James) to break the deadlock in this one.

Newcastle have taken four points from nine but they're not expected to add to that total on Monday at Everton, where bookies fancy them to suffer a second straight defeat.

The Toffees are odds-on at 9/10 with Stan James to send the Magpies home empty-handed while BetVictor quote Alan Pardew's charges at 7/2 to get back to winning ways and it's 5/2 courtesy of bet365 to finish all square at Goodison Park, where Skybet post 10/1 against a goalless encounter.

Newcastle's last victory in Everton's backyard was almost two years ago to the day, Hatem Ben Arfa's spectacular strike giving United a 1-0 triumph. A repeat is an 11/1 shot at bet365 in a match that looks likely to produce fewer than three goals (4/5, Stan James).

Middlesbrough have won both home matches this term but lost their two away fixtures so Tony Mowbray will be glad his team are playing at the Riverside this afternoon.

Boro are William Hill's 5/4 favourites to pick up another maximum haul as they host Ipswich, Ladbrokes' 5/2 outsiders and it's 12/5 (Skybet) to finish all square.

It could be a close one and those in agreement can take on Paddy Power's 11/4 for Boro to shade it by one while bet365 post 7/1 against Mowbray's side recording a 1-0 success.

Marvin Emnes struck a penalty in Boro's last outing, a 3-1 loss at Millwall a fortnight ago and is Stan James' 11/2 favourite in the first scorer betting.

In League One, Hartlepool are 19/4 outsiders at BetVictor as they make the trip to Bournemouth and a decent point for Neale Cooper's men is priced at 13/5 (bet365).
