Darts star Stephen Bunting, who is a Liverpool fan, took on Chris Sutton in this week's predictions.

"A lot of my family were Blues but my dad was a massive Liverpool fan," he explained. "He started taking me to matches when I was five or six," he said.

"He got me a 'dad and lads' season ticket when I was younger but unfortunately we had to give it up because of my darts, and now trying to get on the waiting list for a season ticket is almost impossible.

"I still get to some games now, and it is always special to go to Anfield but when I am playing in tournaments I have to settle for watching them on my phone.

"We are doing so well at the moment, which is such a pleasant surprise.

"Filling Jurgen Klopp's boots was always going to be difficult, but what Arne Slot has done so far is nothing short of a miracle.

"There is no way I thought we would be fighting at the front and top of the Premier League at this stage. It is still too early in the season to predict whether we are going to win it, but we have looked unbelievable so far."

I am covering this game for BBC Radio 5 Live and it will be interesting to see what Fulham do.

They were very well-organised defensively against Arsenal last time out, and were happy to sit in and try to carry a threat on the counter.

That probably did not work as effectively as they would have liked, other than when Raul Jimenez put them ahead, but I suspect they will go with a similar gameplan at Anfield.

So, Adama Traore will start again, along with Alex Iwobi who had a good game against the Gunners, with Sander Berge and Sasa Lukic together in a more defensively minded midfield.

They didn't keep Arsenal out, though, and I can't see them stopping Liverpool either.

Arne Slot's side were quite flat in their midweek win over Girona. He was quite critical of their performance but I think a lot of teams are going through a period where they are so stretched by the Premier League and Champions League.

The first goal is going to be important here, but I expect Liverpool to get it and then go on to win comfortably.

Sutton's prediction: 3-0

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said he is "so happy" that there has been a mural painted of set-piece coach Nicolas Jover.

Arsenal have become a force from set-pieces and have scored 23 goals from corners since the start of last season.

That has led to Jover becoming a fan favourite - and before the match against Monaco in the Champions League on Wednesday, a fan-painted mural was seen near the stadium.

"I didn't know it. So happy, he fully deserves it," Arteta said.

"The same as many other staff and coaches. It's great that the attention is not just on the players or sometimes the manager, but that our supporters can think that way and someone can be so creative. It makes people feel valued and recognised."

Arsenal dominated Fulham in their draw last weekend, but did not create much from open play.

Fulham are a well-organised team, but I was still a little disappointed in Mikel Arteta's side.

Martin Odegaard was not as influential as usual, and it showed, but the Gunners were still a threat from set-pieces, which is how they got their goal.

People joke about how Arsenal are like Tony Pulis' old Stoke City side in that respect, but I see their ability to score from corners as being a feather in their cap rather than something to sneer at.

The Gunners are definitely more pragmatic this season but fair play to them for being so effective at set-pieces - a few other teams must wish they carried the same level of threat in those situations - and I don't see them slipping up against Everton.

Sean Dyche's side will sit in and they don't mind a set-piece either, so this could be a battle of who is better at corners, but I'd back Arsenal to come out on top.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has named four changes following the Reds' last Premier League match - a 3-3 draw at Newcastle 10 days ago before last weekend's Merseyside derby was postponed by severe weather.

Goalkeeper Alisson starts, replacing Caoimhin Kelleher as he did in the midweek 1-0 Champions League win over Girona.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dominik Szoboszlai and Luis Diaz also come in, as Jarell Quansah and Darwin Nunez drop to the bench and Alexis Mac Allister misses out through suspension.

Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa both return to the squad following long-term injuries.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Jones, Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.

Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Elliott, Jota, Quansah, Morton, Nyoni.

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Diop, Cuenca, Robinson, Berge, Iwobi, Wilson, Pereira, Lukic, Jimenez.

Subs: Benda, Muniz, Adama, Vinicius, Castagne, King, Sessegnon, Smith Rowe, Godo.

Martin Dubravka replaces the injured Nick Pope in one of three Newcastle changes from last weekend's defeat at Brentford.

Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali also return for the Magpies, with Sean Longstaff and Harvey Barnes among the substitutes.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Murphy, Isak, Gordon

Subs: Vlachodimos, Trippier, Barnes, Targett, Osula, Almiron, Kelly, Willock, Longstaff

Ruud van Nistelrooy also makes three changes to the Leicester side that drew with Brighton in their last game.

With Wilfred Ndidi injured and Boubakary Soumare suspended, Hamza Choudhury and Oliver Skipp come into midfield.

Stephy Mavididi is also preferred to Jordan Ayew, who drops to the bench.

Leicester XI: Hermansen, Justin, Coady, Vestergaard, Kristiansen, Choudhury, Skipp, McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi, Vardy

Arsenal make three changes to the side that beat Monaco 3-0 in midweek.

Centre-back Gabriel is fit to start after injury with Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber also coming in. Youngster Miles Lewis-Skelly keeps his place in the side at left-back for his first Premier League start.

Thomas Partey, Jakub Kiwior and Gabriel Jesus drop to the bench.

Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard, Rice, Merino, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz.

Everton's Merseyside derby against Liverpool was called off a week ago, so they were last in action 10 days in their 4-0 thrashing of Wolves.

There's just one change from that team, with Jack Harrison coming for Dwight McNeil, who is not in the squad.

Everton XI: Pickford, Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Gueye, Mangala, Ndiaye, Harrison, Doucoure, Calvert-Lewin.

The line-ups for the 15:00 GMT games have just been announced. We'll bring you the team news as soon as we can.

Wolves v Ipswich is a huge one at the bottom of the table today. Neither side can climb out of the relegation zone but the loser is going to drift further from safety.

Everton and Leicester, who are close to danger still, are both in action too.

The gap at the top could be seven points today - or it could be three - with Liverpool and Arsenal both in action.

Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, level on 25 points, play later - while Fulham could move into a European place if they beat Liverpool.
