What Liverpool fans wouldn't give for a straightforward 1-0 win.

Layers remain unconvinced of the Anfield club's Premier League chances with Liverpool available at [7.8] for the title. Chelsea and manchester United are [2.0] and [3.35] respectively.

A late flurry of goal sealed the win and saw five goals or more matched at 22 on the exchange while the match odds market proved a trader's dream with the draw backed at a low of [1.51], Wigan at [1.67] and Liverpool drift to [10.5].

Arsenal touched 3.2 to win when 1-0 down to Everton at The Emirates. Goals from Samir Nasri, Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott secured three points for the Gunners. Over 3.5 goals was backed at [5.0] before the England striker's late effort.

A trio of 0-0s rounded off the 3pm kick-offs with high prices matched in the correct score market and low prices in the total goals betting.
