GOALS returned to the menu this weekend as the Premier League continues to throw punches.
And we’ve got betting tips for you from Anfield as Liverpool prepare to face Arsenal in a delightful clash under the lights on Monday night.

Liverpool vs Arsenal, Monday 8:00 p.m.
A cookie in the shop in Merseyside as the reigning champions host the Gunners.
There has already been drama with this one as the start time was moved 15 minutes earlier to ensure fans could watch the game in the pub without going through the new 10pm curfew.
And judging by the way the first four games involving these teams have played out, fans will need a drink.
Liverpool are two out of two, but not without a scare against Leeds, although they hardly bothered when ten-man Chelsea were crushed to one side at Stamford Bridge.
Just a word for Thiago Alcantara too, who came off the bench in that win and looked like the Rolls Royce that he is.
At least one of these teams is missing its perfect start with Arsenal entering the game after victories over Fulham and West Ham.
You can only beat what comes your way, but this is the first big test for Mikel Arteta and his team this season.
And we’re not convinced they are up to the task of ending Liverpool’s seemingly endless Anfield streak, despite that Community Shield win a few weeks ago.

Merseyside is not a happy hunting ground for the Gunners and they last won on this ground in 2012.
It’s seven fruitless visits in the Premier League, with Liverpool scoring three or more times in SIX of those encounters.
With Jurgen Klopp’s team looking impressive in front of goal again, this is how it is played here.
Liverpool are a tempting means of winning the game and we won’t stop you from backing that up, especially as the final leg in a weekend accumulated.
But much more tempting is the 5/4 with which you can get more than 3.5 goals.
The last one was a winner EIGHT times Arsenal have played here, including that crazy 5-5 draw in the Carabao Cup last season.

We don’t expect Arteta to employ the same evasion tactics that Frank Lampard used last week, which blunted the Reds to Christensen’s red card.
And as such, Liverpool come back to the net often and early.
The Reds will score BOTH OF THEM the halves should be very good so don’t miss out on the 11/10 you can get right now.
Mo Salah looks like a man on a mission right now and he has started the season as his new haircut: edgy.
He’s priced pretty well at 5/6 to the net at any point and will be popular, but we’d rather see Sadio Mane score after his double against Chelsea.
The Senegalese will have plenty of chances and 23/20 is the value pick.
