Our top tipster Lewis Jones, aka Jones Knows, provides his analysis and betting insight across the weekend Premier League action.

Liverpool could become the first club in history to have three £100m+ players on the pitch at the same time. That frightening statistic is playing a part on why they are as short as 1/2 with Sky Bet to break a run of six games without a win across the two seasons. This is a packed squad, full of talent, but one that looks uncomfortable trying to implement Andoni Iraola's style. Nottingham Forest created 2.3 worth of expected goals at Anfield last weekend - the third-highest total a team has amassed in the last 77 Premier League home games. For a betting angle, eyes should be drawn to Leif Davis, who is 4/1 with Sky Bet to score or assist. The flying full-back is playing almost as the left winger in this system, scoring at Manchester United to add to his two goals in pre-season.

Newcastle vs Bournemouth could be a very fun game. Anthony Elanga looks a different player under Matthias Jaissle. His confidence is sky high and he is such a weapon for a team that like to play direct balls. The 100/30 with Sky Bet on him to score again has potential. Brentford have been arguably the most impressive Premier League team after two games, creating the most shots (15) and touches in the opposition box (31) any away team at Elland Road has produced in the opening 60 minutes since last season. Sunderland are difficult to make a case for away from home. I'm happy to back Brentford to be winning at half-time and full-time at 6/4 with Sky Bet.

Brighton face Leeds with several key players potentially missing, weakening their betting appeal.
