Liverpool and Chelsea renew their rivalry on Sunday in a Premier League clash that should be too good to miss.
With new managers at the helm, both clubs have enjoyed impressive starts to the season.
Pacesetters Liverpool, who boast six victories from seven games, recovered from a shock home defeat to Nottingham Forest last month by picking up three wins on the spin before the international break.
Visitors Chelsea, meanwhile, have also lost just once in the league and boss Enzo Maresca scooped the Manager of the Month award after his team went unbeaten in September.
In-form Blues star Cole Palmer was also rewarded for his impressive form with the Player of the Month gong.
Ahead of what is expected to be a feast of football on Merseyside, Bet777 have pulled together an in-depth preview with some betting tips thrown in for good measure.
And do not forget that live betting markets galore will be available throughout the game. From next scorer to next yellow card, we have you covered.

Liverpool vs Chelsea Preview
While Super Sunday games often fail to live up to their billing, this fixture has all the ingredients for a tasty affair.
Despite being four points better off than Chelsea, Reds boss Arne Slot will not underestimate a team that has only been beaten by champions Manchester City.
Maresca, 44, is gradually making his mark on the squad inherited from Mauricio Pochettino and the likes of Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke and Levi Colwill are thriving.
With the inspirational Palmer pulling the strings, Chelsea also have the likes of Joao Felix, Pedro Neto and on-loan winger Jadon Sancho to call upon.
That wealth of attacking options would give any side a chance of winning but the visitors will have to be at their best to breach a Liverpool defence that has only conceded twice in the league.
Question marks remain over Maresca’s backline and Mohamed Salah will be desperate to add to his tally against his former club.
Having already notched four times this term, Salah trails Liverpool team-mate Luis Diaz by a single goal in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot.
But they will both be happy if Virgil van Dijk and Co can keep Palmer quiet at the other end as the England international, who has netted six in the league, bids to orchestrate an away win.
Latest Premier League Betting Odds
*All odds are subject to change
With the Anfield faithful cheering them on, the odds suggest a Liverpool win is on the cards. But with that result priced at 1.69, there is better value to be had in a draw at 4.40 or an away victory at 4.40.
Maresca will be hoping his side are not overawed by the occasion and can leave Merseyside with at least a point in the battle to prove they have what it takes to be serious top-four contenders.
Liverpool vs Chelsea betting Tips
As you would probably expect, Salah is the favourite in the first goalscorer market at 5.20. But Palmer is priced at 8.10 and Jackson, who has bagged four times in seven league outings, comes in at a very tempting 10.00 to break the deadlock.
