Liverpool beat Everton at home last season 1-0 and 2-0 the season before. Liverpool have won both their home games this season in the league against Bournemouth and Arsenal and I think this will be a fifth straight Anfield Merseyside Derby win.

The Flying Scotsman did win on the Players Championship and European Tour circuits in 2025, and I do think he has one more run in the World Championship at the Alexandra Palace. Gary Anderson is a two-time world champion back in 2015 and 2016, and he was the runner-up as recent as 2021. I think the Scot will want to put last year's early exit to bed, and I do think Anderson can get to another world final.

In 2024, Luke Littler went all the way to the World Championship final, losing to Luke Humphries. Last year, he went one better by going all the way to the final and beating Michael Van Gerwen in the 2025 World Championship final. I do think The Nuke can become a two-time World Champion by defending his title in 2026.

Brentford have lost Mbeumo and Norgaard in the summer and other players like Wissa and Collins have been linked with moves away. They only appointed Keith Andrews as manager and I don't think he will last the season, I think Brentford will struggle and will end up in the bottom three.

The French striker moves to the Premier League after scoring fifteen league goals in Germany last season for Eintracht Frankfurt. He netted 22 in all competitions last season and I do think Hugo Ekitike will have an excellent debut season in England.

The England striker has scored fifteen-plus goals in the last three seasons, and I do think he is going to have his best season yet in the Premier League. Duran left last season, and I think Watkins will play all the games and finish as the Top Goalscorer come May time.

Liverpool have signed Isak, Wirtz, Ekitike and full backs Kerkez and Frimpong and I do think they have a squad that can conquer Europe. The six time European Champions topped the league stage last year and I think they will build on that to lift the Champions League this season.

The Dutch have made eleven appearances in the World Cup and have reached the final three times in 1974, 1978, and most recently in 2010. I do think they have their best squad in some years right now, and they are also former European Champions. Since being runner-up in South Africa 2010, they were third in Brazil 2014 and a quarter-finalist in 2022 in Qatar. I think the Netherlands can make it to another World Cup final in 2026.
