It was a terrific midweek for the column as we took down a Champions League treble paying better than 9/2 as well as 2/1 and 13/10 winners. Focus shifts back to the Premier League this weekend with Liverpool's clash with Southampton among the highlights.

Running total: -£22.01

The Banker

Liverpool's strong start to the season has made pundits sit up and take notice and they are a 1/5 chance to stay perfect by beating Southampton at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp's men will make history if they win this weekend with a victory over Mark Hughes' side ensuring they'll have made the best start to a season in the club's illustrious 126-year history. The Reds have kept three clean sheets in five matches so far and Virgil van Dijk -- a former Saints player -- has been one of the key reasons behind their continued thriftiness at the back. You can get 5/6 with bet365 that Klopp's side win without conceding and that looks to have solid claims given this Southampton side are not renowned for their attacking prowess.

Selection: £6 on Liverpool to win to nil at 5/6 with bet365

The Tasty Treble

Having rested Eden Hazard for their Europa League trip to Greece Chelsea will be hoping the brilliant Belgian can guide them to victory against West Ham on Sunday. The Blues are a 9/20 chance to continue their perfect start to the season and should be too good for the Hammers in this London derby. With Wilfried Zaha back in the fold it's hard to ignore Crystal Palace at 21/20 against Newcastle. The Toon have made a horror start to the season having lost four of their first five fixtures, their poorest Premier League start since 1999. Palace, meanwhile, look a different side with Zaha involved, and they look must bet material at odds against at Selhurst Park. Finally, Manchester United (8/15) look to have hit their stride and can make it four wins in a row by beating Wolves at Old Trafford. Paul Pogba was a joy to watch in their 3-0 win over Young Boys while at the back Diogo Dalot was also excellent. The treble pays better than 7/2 and looks to have every chance.

Selection: £3 on the treble at 3.55/1 with bet365

The First Goal Flutter

James Maddison has made a fine start to his Leicester City career and might be worth a punt at 5/1 to score first against Huddersfield. The former Norwich man -- who bagged 14 goals for the Canaries in the Championship last season -- is a rare talent and could provide the spark for the Foxes at the King Power.

Selection: £1 on Maddison to score first at 5/1 with bet365

The Euro wager

Lionel Messi scored a sublime Champions League hat trick (a record eighth in the competition) for Barcelona against PSV Eindhoven in midweek and the Argentine wizard looks the most likely first goalscorer when Barca face Gironda this weekend. Ordinarily 15/8 on any player scoring first may seem short, but when you consider he plundered 34 La Liga goals in 36 matches last season it's easy to see why the bookmakers want to keep him onside.

Selection: £4 on Messi to score first at 15/8 with bet365

The Wildcard Tip

Arsenal are worthy favourites to beat Everton on Sunday but have been struggling to keep clean sheets so it could pay to back them to beat the Toffees with both teams finding the net at 13/8. Manchester United are 12/5 to beat Wolves in a similar fashion and the win -- both teams to score double looks good at almost 8/1.

Selection: £2 on Arsenal and Manchester United win and both teams to score double at 7.92/1 with bet365
