Another full midweek schedule of European fixtures means many of the Premier League's biggest teams are in action on Sunday, creating an intriguing schedule of matches.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea host Liverpool as they look to arrest a recent mini-slide that has seen them fail to win either of their last two league games. The Reds, on the other hand, are still looking to adjust to Brendan Rodgers' ideas as Luis Suarez single-handedly keeps them in matches.

It is at the Etihad Stadium, however, where our tipping eye wanders. In an important game for both managers, we can see plenty of goals in this one. We particularly like the odds of over 2.5 goals in a draw - 10/1 with bet365.

If you're not quite that bold, how about Jermain Defoe to continue his goalscoring run - the striker is 17/2 with bet365 to score the opener in this one, even on enemy territory.
