Liverpool faced a real test in the second half on Monday when they had to come from behind against West Ham in the last half hour or so to preserve their unbeaten campaign.
Pablo Fornals' surprise strike gave the Reds an uphill task and at one stage it looked like they would not be able to find a way through.
But they persisted, with the help of a rare Lukasz Fabianski error, and not only got back on level terms but sealed a winner through Sadio Mane.
They face another bottom-three side in Watford, whose honeymoon period under Nigel Pearson is well and truly over.
The Hornets have failed to win their last six in all competitions and that sort of form is never welcome, never mind when the unbeaten leaders come to town.
Most teams step up for the visit of the big dogs though - as they did at Anfield for Pearson's first game in charge - but a best price of 7/1 to win shows just how difficult the task is.
This Liverpool team just keep on winning and they are so close to that first Premier League title now. Finding value in their games can be tough but there are some appealing prices on the corners.
Jurgen Klopp's men have the third-highest corner total in the league this season, with 177 - Man City (221) and Chelsea (178) are the teams above them - while Watford are third bottom on 122.
The Reds average seven corners per game on the road and, with them expected to dominate, the corner handicap prices stand out.
They can soon rack up the corner count with the pressure on and the odds-against price for them to have three or more corners than Watford looks too good to turn down and is probably the best bet of the day in the Premier League on Saturday.
Score prediction: Watford 0-2 Liverpool (Sky Bet odds: 13/2)
Best bet: Liverpool -2 on corner handicap at 5/4
The early kick-off brings us the M23 derby, a fierce rivalry that perhaps goes unnoticed to other supporters but it is the one that matters most to fans of these two sides.
Given their positions these teams are in, the stakes are even higher. Palace may still be nine points clear of the drop, but only thanks to their first Premier League win of 2020, which came at the hands of Newcastle last weekend, and they will want to put another run together.
The glaring issue for them still remains goals but good link up play between Christian Benteke, Andros Townsend and Wilfried Zaha could give them hope.
Brighton have also had difficulty converting chances. Creation is not a problem but finding the back of the net is and Albion are now the only side without a league win in this calendar year.
This one has all the hallmarks of a draw, one which the Seagulls may rue if they waste more chances after dominating possession as they continue to play football that is pleasing on the eye under Graham Potter.
Those sort of games suit Palace, where they can grind an opponent down and steal a point. The method of that goal is still difficult to call, but with how this game is expected to pan out then it would be no surprise if it came from the spot.
With how VAR has been this season, Wilfried Zaha's ability to draw in fouls in the final third and the occasional sloppiness in defence from Brighton, the anytime price on Luka Milivojevic could be worth a small play.
The Serbian is a master from the spot and, if he does not find the back of the net, he is likely to go in the book on a derby like this.
He has nine cautions and a red to his name this term in all competitions, with the last couple of yellows coming in recent tight away clashes. He is 2/1 to be shown a card but there is preference to back him to get on the score sheet.
Not only does he take penalties, he also takes the odd set piece and has had nine shots in his last five Premier League appearances - so he is due a goal and actively trying.
Palace have scored three spot-kicks this term and if they are chasing the game then they can look no further than Milivojevic.
Score prediction: Brighton 1-1 Crystal Palace (Sky Bet odds: 5/1)
Best bet: Luka Milivojevic to score anytime at 6/1
Eddie Howe's Bournemouth have won back-to-back home games in the Premier League to boost their hopes of survival and they can do just that here as they look to do the double over Chelsea.
That December win at Stamford Bridge seems a long time ago now, but it did little to inspire them as it came in the middle of a long run that dragged them back into a relegation fight. They now sit just two points clear of West Ham in 18th while Chelsea are nervously gripping on to fourth spot with Man United closing the gap to three points and Spurs close behind.
Frank Lampard's side face a test of their mental resilience after a 3-0 home thrashing to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Will they bounce back or will they suffer further damage? That is the big question and you would not be confidently backing them at 4/5.
Tammy Abraham is a doubt after reportedly pulling up in the warm down at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday and without him Chelsea need Olivier Giroud and the attacking midfielders to step up.
Bournemouth, though, are not consistent enough and Chelsea should just about get the victory. But, with renewed confidence, they will put up a fight against a side with defensive frailties, so the shots market is worth looking at in the Cherries' favour.
Chelsea concede an average of 16 shots per game this season and with Callum Wilson back leading the line, supported by Josh King and Harry Wilson, they could pepper them with shots and they can be backed at 6/4 to have 13 or more shots - a market which covers blocked and wayward efforts.
But, due to both sides' unpredictability and the short odds in this market, there are preferred fancies elsewhere.
Score prediction: Bournemouth 1-3 Chelsea (Sky Bet odds: Price Boosted to 14/1)
Best bet: Bournemouth to have 13+ total shots at 6/4
A game that does not exactly scream goals - a one-nil, maybe 0-0 even.
Two sides that have shown they have enough to stay up, but they have managers who are much more conservative in style and a point would probably please both Steve Bruce and Sean Dyche here.
Newcastle are lacking a striker who knows where the back of the net is and an injury to Andy Carroll has left them even shorter, relying on Joelinton through the middle. They have a decent record at St James' Park this term, but have scored just 12 goals in 13 games on Tyneside this term. Five of those games have ended in a draw.
Burnley's away form has improved to be fair, with four wins and three draws from 13, managing just 14 goals in total.
It was tempting to back the unders, but there is a market for 0-1 goals in total at a more tempting 9/5.
Score prediction: Newcastle 0-1 Burnley (Sky Bet odds: 13/2)
Best bet: 0-1 total goals at 9/5

I have had an eye on this game for a while with a goalscorer in mind at around 9/2, until he picked up an injury against Liverpool to keep him sidelined for around three weeks.
A blow for both our Premier League tips and for Tomas Soucek so early in his West Ham career, but we shall stick with the goals market and with another Hammers player.
David Moyes' side are in desperate need of a win as they sit in the final relegation spot, but a repeat performance of Monday's defeat at Liverpool should go some way to delivering that here.
The trouble is that they are inevitably going to raise their game against the league leaders, but against a fellow bottom-half side in front of your own nervy fans it is a different question.
Ralph Hasenhuttl's Saints have been better away from home this term, collecting 20 of their 34 points. Only the current top four have a better away record and that is why they go into the game as 13/8 favourites.
They are prone to a lapse, though, and you cannot back them at this price. There is hope from West Ham that they can continue their display and this squad looks too strong overall to go down.
The interest is with the stand-in striker Michail Antonio, with the utility man preferred to lead the line over expensive summer buy Sebastian Haller.
With Antonio in this role, the 3/1 anytime price looks overpriced (with the system probably still believing he is a winger) and it is therefore worth a small play.
The 29-year-old has shown over the years that he knows where the back of the net is and he will be keen to add to his one-goal tally this term.
He has had 10 shots in his last four appearances - six at home to Brighton - and averages over two per match over the course of the campaign.
After Monday's display, Moyes will have little reason to change things, with the exception of Soucek dropping out, and Antonio anytime is an area which represents value considering his role in this team and recent displays.
Score prediction: West Ham 2-1 Southampton (Sky Bet odds: 9/1)
Best bet: Michail Antonio to score anytime at 3/1
