Everton vs Liverpool, Saturday (Goodison Park)
Missing players: Naby Keita (LIV), Alisson (LIV), Oxlade-Chamberlain (LIV), Kenny (EVE), Branthwaite (EVE), Holgate (EVE), Gbamin (EVE)
Everton has started the new season in an impressive way and it’s safe to say that the football supporters around Merseyside are in good mood. This summer’s transfer window saw Everton bring in a lot of experience and quality to the squad and the result has been close to perfect so far. James Rodriguez together with Richarlison and in-form striker Calvert-Lewin have led Everton to the top of the league and now they're searching for a rare win against the local rivals. It was ten years since Everton won against Liverpool, is the wait over?
Was it a one-time happening or was the 7-2 loss against Aston Villa a sign of what to come for Liverpool? Let it be that everything that could go wrong went wrong for Liverpool, but to concede seven goals can never be acceptable and Jürgen Klopp knows that. Coming back from an international break and going into a derby game against Everton will be a tough task for The Reds. The away side gets boosted by the recoveries of Sadio Mane and Thiago who will most probably go straight into the starting eleven.
Celtic vs Rangers, Saturday (Celtic Park)
Old Firm Derby number 421 will be played on Saturday on Celtic Park as second placed Celtic take on the biggest rival, Rangers FC. Having won the league for nine consecutive seasons Celtic will make everything they can to make it a tenth, and to do so a win over Rangers on Saturday will be crucial. Rangers FC, led by Steven Gerrard, has opened the season strongly and is still unbeaten with an impressive goal difference of 24:3. Rangers won the last meeting between the two and is also leading the all-time head-to-head record with 162 wins against Celtics 159 wins.

AC Milan has opened the 2020/21 season with three wins out three and haven’t conceded one single goal. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back in training for AC Milan after some time out and will be a huge boost for the home team. Inter has 7 points after the first three games and is coming from a 1-1 draw against Lazio. Both Martinez and Lukaku have scored three goals this season and if AC Milan is going to get any points from this game, they’ve to find a way to stop the goal scoring duo.
