Monday night football comes from Merseyside as Everton welcome Watford to Goodison Park.
Marco Silva's side will move back inside the top six with three points here and the 41-year-old manager will fancy his chances of steering his side to victory against his former employers.
Indeed, Everton have lost just one of their last 11 Premier League matches on home soil, while Watford have won just two of their previous 19 games away from Vicarage Road in this competition.
Latest odds
Furthermore, Watford have picked up just one point from their last five fixtures, while Everton's only defeat in their last five games came in last weekend's Merseyside derby at Anfield.
It is little surprise, then, that SportPesa make the Toffees their 10/13 (1.77) favourites to pick up all three points from Monday's match.
Javi Gracia's side are chalked up as a 15/4 (4.75) chance to arrest their slide with victory at Goodison Park, while the same firm go 11/4 (3.75) that both teams are forced to settle for a share of the spoils.
Team news
Silva has a full squad from which to choose ahead of the Hornets' visit. Richarlison completed a big-money move from Watford to Everton in pre-season and is in fine form, scoring seven goals in 13 league matches so far this season.
Etienne Capoue remains suspended for the visitors after an appeal against his red card in the match against Leicester City last weekend was rejected.
Tight Toffees?
Everton have conceded just two goals in their last five Premier League matches on home soil.
SportPesa offer 29/20 (2.45) that Silva's side shut out the Hornets here, while the same firm go 37/20 (2.85) that Everton win without conceding - that particular play would have paid dividends in three of the last four matches at this venue in which the Toffees have come out on top.
Prediction
Value could lie in backing a tight tussle when Watford travel to Merseyside on Monday. Nine of Watford's last 10 away matches in this competition have featured fewer than three goals, while there have been just four goals scored in Everton's last four fixtures.
SportPesa's 10/11 (1.91) quote, then, for fewer than three goals to be scored during Monday's match could provide punters with a path to profit.
