This is Everton’s best chance of taking something from Anfield in the last few seasons, the Toffees have failed to even score on their last three trips to the red corner of Merseyside but have started the season strongly to suggest that this could be a more competitive installment of the derby.

Everton’s attacking options have been severely bolstered by the summer transfer window. The additions of Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Barry and Dibling make them a more exciting side in the final third which is key for our selection here. 

Everton had 20 shots against Aston Villa last time out and have had 10 or more shots in three of their four Premier League matches. This selection is also aided by the fact that Liverpool’s backline has looked shaky in the early weeks of the season. They’ve conceded 2+ goals in three of their five games across all competitions and allowed the opposition to enter double digits for shots in four of these fixtures.

We should see Forest’s average shot count rise over the next few weeks and across the season as a whole now that Ange Postecoglu is at the helm. 

The former Tottenham manager has not minced his words about how he wants his side to play and it is a massive shift away from the pragmatic approach of Nuno Espírito Santo who was harshly sacked a few weeks ago.

Forest had 17 shots against Swansea in their 3-2 defeat against the Championship side in the Carabao Cup during the week. This isn’t the greatest game to gauge their shot potential under Postecoglu but it is significant that they are playing a newly promoted side here.

Burnley will lock down their backline and look to hit Forest on the break with the various gaps that appear at the back in a Postecoglu side. Forest have fallen one shot short of this line in two of their Premier League games so far this season.

There is real pressure on Postecoglu already, the 3-0 defeat against Arsenal away from home can be forgiven but their collapse in the Carabao Cup is an early cause for concern for the new head coach. 

Leeds managed 10 shots last time out against Fulham as they fell to an unfortunate 1-0 defeat in the final minute of the game via an own goal. They are probably the best of the newly promoted sides when it comes to creating chances - Leeds had 10 shots against Newcastle and 21 against Everton.

This is an early six pointer in the relegation battle, Wolves have only won one game this season and that was in the Carabao Cup against West Ham. Their four losses in the Premier League have only seen them score two goals which both came in one game against Everton.

Wolves have conceded 10+ shots in all four of their Premier League matches this season. I’d expect them to try and take the game to Leeds which should aid our selection as it will mean that the home side leave gaps which Leeds’ attackers can exploit when they get chances in transition.
