*All odds are subject to change<\/b><\/p>\n

Liverpool vs Southampton: Anytime goalscorer – Alexander Isak @ 1.54<\/b><\/h2>\n

Liverpool\u2019s match against Southampton represents the perfect opportunity for Isak to get precious minutes in his legs after missing the whole of pre-season. The Premier League\u2019s record signing has made two appearances for the Reds since joining from Newcastle, but is yet to get off the mark. However, against a Saints side fresh from a 3-1 defeat at Hull, the Sweden international should really fancy his chances of opening his account at Anfield. Isak scored twice vs Southampton last season, with both goals coming in a 3-1 win at St Mary\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lincoln City vs Chelsea: Both teams to score – Yes @ 2.15<\/b><\/h2>\n

While we expect Chelsea to progress to the Fourth Round, this match may not be as straightforward as it looks on paper for Enzo Mareca\u2019s side. Why so? Because Lincoln are in great form, with five wins from nine in League One seeing them take third spot in the table. The atmosphere at the LNER Stadium tomorrow evening is sure to be fantastic too, and hopes of an upset will have been increased after watching Chelsea slip to a 2-1 defeat at Manchester United on the weekend. This is certainly a midweek match to keep a close eye on!<\/span><\/p>\n

Port Vale vs Arsenal: Player to score or assist – Max Dowman @ 1.62<\/b><\/h2>\n

After a gruelling 1-1 draw with Manchester City on the weekend, we expect Mikel Arteta to make wholesale changes to his starting XI. And this could pave the way for 15-year-old sensation Dowman to make a first senior start for the Gunners. The fleet-footed youngster already showcased his talent in a cameo vs Leeds, winning a penalty which Viktor Gyokeres then converted. If Dowman is given the nod to start at Port Vale, the dribbling ability which he possesses can really trouble the struggling League One team\u2019s defence. Dowman scored for Arsenal\u2019s U21 side in a 3-2 victory over Wolves U21s on the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everton to beat Wolves @ 2.41<\/b><\/h2>\n

In case you were unaware, Wolves have started the Premier League season in an absolutely horrendous fashion. Vitor Pereira\u2019s side are rock bottom of the table after suffering five consecutive defeats, the most recent a 3-1 home loss to newly-promoted Leeds. And another of those defeats was against Everton at Molineux, with a Jack Grealish-inspired Toffees side winning 3-2. While David Moyes will almost certainly choose to rotate his squad for this fixture, the Merseysiders look better equipped to claim the victory here.<\/span><\/p>\n
