Exclusive: Fulham vs Everton: Best bets for live BBC One clash and all Sunday's Premier League games
Bet there’ll be Rich pickings for Everton at Fulham on BBC One this lunchtime.
Turns out there are important players, and then there are players as important as Richarlison.
It remains the case that since the Brazilian joined Everton from Watford in 2018, the Toffees have NEVER won a Premier League game without him.
His three-match ban for a horror tackle in the Merseyside Derby derailed the Blues’ bright start and ushered in three straight defeats.
He’s back. And Fulham (12pm) should be worried. The Cottagers had conceded fewer Prem goals than Liverpool going into the international break. But the fixture list has been very gentle on them so far.
With Richarlison back starting fires, that period of grace ends here, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the ‘anytime scorer’ punt at a plump 6/5 (Paddy).
Longshot fans should add Michael Keane ‘anytime’ at 16/1 (Bet365) – his stats are rising fast under Carlo Ancelotti.
Some of jolly Jurgen Klopp’s easy-going charm seems to be getting washed away by the cruel tides of fate.
Another couple of front-rank absentees and I reckon it’s 11/10 he goes the full Joe Kinnear.
But the C-word in play as Liverpool entertain Leicester (7.15pm) is ‘consistency’.
Everybody knows what Jamie Vardy is going to do, it just doesn’t seem to help them stop him doing it. Back Vardy ‘anytime scorer’ at 6/5 (general) and ‘either side score a penalty’ at 2/1 (Paddy).
Ignore Patrick Bamford’s armpit as Leeds welcome Arsenal (4.30pm).
It’s no use trying to predict every algorithmic spasm of our bionic overlords – but Bamford’s recent ‘underarm offside’ should be weighing in our stats forecasts as a goal this fizzing Leeds side did score.
Take ‘DRAW & both teams score’ at 7/2 (BetVic) .
Same ‘DRAW & both teams score’ call at 18/5 (BetVic) for Sheffield United-West Ham (2pm) – the Blades’ scoring luck is due adjustment too.
In Serie A, get on the sprightly old sod Zlatan Ibrahimovich ‘anytime’ at 7/5 (888sport, Unibet) for Milan at Napoli (7.45pm).

The Sun on Sunday quotes Abbie explaining: “It was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. I didn’t know what to do.
“I told AJ. He was like, ‘I can’t believe this is happening’. My heart literally dropped and I remember my legs were shaking.
“You honestly see this stuff on movies and you never would expect it to happen to you. We went to the police.”

“Honestly, it’s the worst thing as I actually do read them, which is bad as AJ tells me not to.”
Abbie and AJ have been dating for 18 months.

Prince William has spoken of the lack of resources for new dads as spoke to a group of beaming first time fathers .
The Duke of Cambridge said he worried they `` just do n't know what to do , and they do n't know where to go '' as he and wife Kate spoke to the group helped by Future Men , a London-based charity providing guidance to men and boys .
The duchess has made promoting the early years development of children and support for parents one of the main pillars of her public work .
Future Men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with different aspects of fatherhood , from enhancing father-child relationships to teaching practical and emotional approaches to enable dads to take care of themselves , their partner and baby .
During a video call William asked the group : `` How does Future Men find some of these other guys out there who have not got the realisation , or the wherewithal if you like , to go looking for services like Future Men and be able to build on a happy future as a father ?
`` Because I worry an awful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there who just do n't know what to do , and they do n't know where to go .
“ And they may not have such good grounding , foundations or support around them to be able to know what to do . ''
The men described their experiences of fatherhood from dealing with their child 's sleeping patterns to being a positive role model when Kate asked them about the challenges of family life especially during lockdown .
The Duchess said : “ Being able to maintain and form relationships throughout life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dads play such an important role it should n't be a bad thing to reach out for help and advice .
So it ’ s great that services like this are out there.
” Earlier in the year William and Kate joked about their experiences with home schooling their three young children Prince George , Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis with the duchess saying she had found it `` challenging '' .
When one of the fathers said he knew lots of men who did not know about the Future Men fatherhood courses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a `` shame '' similar services were not more widely available .
In a lighter moment Graeme Mackenzie , who towards the end of the video chat was joined by his eight-month-old son Liam , said : `` The best thing I like about being a dad is sniffing him and getting that new baby smell . ''
Peter Sen , who also introduced his first child son Elliott to the group , said : `` I think being at home in lockdown has been a blessing and a curse .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of his development and that 's a real joy , and however poorly or badly he sleeps , he always wakes up with a big smile on his face . ''
When William asked the dads , if being a father was valued by their communities and wider society , and Darren Smith , married with a son called Messiah , said : `` I have a strong belief that , especially for me being a younger dad , I think that I have a strong impact on you know , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' We 're superheroes to these kids , we 're their role models .
You know , they look at us as 'Ok , I want to be like , daddy ' .
My son tells me everyday 'daddy , I want to be like you ' . ''
He added : `` But at the end of the day , we have to set a good example , for the kids and the future men of tomorrow . ''
Owen Thomas , head of Future Men ’ s Fathers Programmes , said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ easier on ourselves as men and dads and realise that we do n't have to be perfect .
We do n't have to be superheroes .
`` We just have to be good enough .
You know , and I think that 's really , really important as well .
And you know , it 's a journey we 're all on as parents and we 're not always going to get everything right .
We 're going to make mistakes , just as mums do . ''

The Duke of Cambridge said he worried they "just don't know what to do, and they don't know where to go" as he and wife Kate spoke to the group helped by Future Men, a London-based charity providing guidance to men and boys.
The duchess has made promoting the early years development of children and support for parents one of the main pillars of her public work.
Future Men provides a range of courses that help with different aspects of fatherhood, from enhancing father-child relationships to teaching practical and emotional approaches to enable dads to take care of themselves, their partner and baby.
During a video call William asked the group: "How does Future Men find some of these other guys out there who have not got the realisation, or the wherewithal if you like, to go looking for services like Future Men and be able to build on a happy future as a father?

"Because I worry an awful lot, a lot of dads out there who just don't know what to do, and they don't know where to go.
“And they may not have such good grounding, foundations or support around them to be able to know what to do."
The men described their experiences of fatherhood from dealing with their child's sleeping patterns to being a positive role model when Kate asked them about the challenges of family life especially during lockdown.
The Duchess said: “Being able to maintain and form relationships throughout life is such a vital skill.
"Dads play such an important role it shouldn't be a bad thing to reach out for help and advice. So it’s great that services like this are out there.”

Earlier in the year William and Kate joked about their experiences with home schooling their three young children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis with the duchess saying she had found it "challenging".
When one of the fathers said he knew lots of men who did not know about the Future Men fatherhood courses but were interested, Kate said it was a "shame" similar services were not more widely available.
In a lighter moment Graeme Mackenzie, who towards the end of the video chat was joined by his eight-month-old son Liam, said: "The best thing I like about being a dad is sniffing him and getting that new baby smell."

Peter Sen, who also introduced his first child son Elliott to the group, said: "I think being at home in lockdown has been a blessing and a curse. A blessing that I get to see every part of his development and that's a real joy, and however poorly or badly he sleeps, he always wakes up with a big smile on his face."
When William asked the dads, if being a father was valued by their communities and wider society, and Darren Smith, married with a son called Messiah, said: "I have a strong belief that, especially for me being a younger dad, I think that I have a strong impact on you know, the community, the society around me...
"We're superheroes to these kids, we're their role models. You know, they look at us as 'Ok, I want to be like, daddy'. My son tells me everyday 'daddy, I want to be like you'."
He added: "But at the end of the day, we have to set a good example, for the kids and the future men of tomorrow."
Owen Thomas, head of Future Men’s Fathers Programmes, said: "We also need to be easier on ourselves as men and dads and realise that we don't have to be perfect. We don't have to be superheroes.
"We just have to be good enough. You know, and I think that's really, really important as well. And you know, it's a journey we're all on as parents and we're not always going to get everything right. We're going to make mistakes, just as mums do."
