Everton v Crystal Palace (Goodison Park, 1600 BST, Sky Sports Main Event)
There's a single fixture on Super Sunday this week as Everton welcome Crystal Palace to Goodison Park looking for their third consecutive victory.
Marco Silva's side beat Fulham in their last league game at home and followed that up with a 2-1 victory away at Leicester before the international break.
Palace can have confidence in their decent away record so far this season. They have won four of their six games on their travels in all competitions, although they were beaten by Bournemouth last time they were away from Selhurst Park.
Everton are favourites to wrap up victory here as they continue their push towards the top six.
The Toffees are trading around the 5/6 mark to secure the three points, while Palace are as big as 19/5.
The hosts have strength in attack, with Gylfi Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Theo Walcott all contributing at least three goals each.
Palace may have only found the net five times this season, but all of those goals have come on the road so they may fancy their chances of finding the net here.
Betting guide
Score prediction: Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace (Sky Bet odds: 15/2)
Everton should wrap up victory here and have scored two or more goals in six of their games so far this season. Palace, while they cannot score at home, have scored in every away game so far and can continue that run on Merseyside.
Best bet: Patrick van Aanholt to have 1+ shots on target at 13/8
As stated above, Palace can get themselves onto the scoresheet which means that they should have chances. Despite playing at right-back, Van Aanholt has been a key part of the visitors' attack and his nine shots on goal is more than any of his teammates this season. The 28-year-old Dutchman has also scored in both of his last two away games in all competitions, which highlights his attacking intent.
Goalscorer bet: Gylfi Sigurdsson to score anytime at 5/2
Sigurdsson is Everton's top goalscorer this season with five goals. He has had 12 shots on goal with 67% of those on target. The 29-year-old can be a real threat from dead-ball situations and has already demonstrated his ability to find the net from distance when required.
RequestABet: Van Aanholt 1+ shots on target, 9+ match corners and 30+ match booking points at 9/2
