      They both look good, I reckon United are getting a good amount of goals against a weaker Everton. Plus style of plays suit United I think. I'd go Ronny but I'd go with your gut.

        Newcastle is a great fixture though, even if they haven't looked convincing

      I nearly forgot how significant TAA being out is for Liverpool going forward and thus City's chances of keeping a clean sheet. But at the same time Salah has been so incredibly sharp this season, really hard one to call, I can just as easily see City nicking it to nil as I can see it being end to end and full of goals
