In fact, the Reds have now kept three clean sheets in their last four outings in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Although \u00a35.7m rated Van Dijk has yet to score for Liverpool in the league, the big Dutch centre-back offers a very effective aerial threat on set-pieces. He is definitely due a goal.<\/p>\n<p>Another attraction is that the Reds face a trip to rock bottom West Brom. The Baggies recorded a shock 1-0 win at Manchester United last time out. However, it is difficult to see the side from the Midlands repeating the trick against the Reds.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/man-city-news-sane-sterling-14547154\">Raheem Sterling<\/a> (Manchester City)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manchester City players were rather neglected in gameweek 34, due to the Citizens only having one game compared to other teams with two games. However, Sterling once again delivered for Pep Guardiola\u2019s side in a 3-1 win at Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p>The England international winger has now produced two goals and three assists in his last four appearances for the champions. His overall tally of 17 goals and 13 assists is often overlooked due to his team\u2019s accomplishments this season.<\/p>\n<p>There is a rotation risk with Sterling for a home game with Swansea. However, the \u00a38.7m rated star has proven in the past that he can pick up plenty of points from the substitutes bench.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2018\/apr\/16\/football-transfer-rumours-wilfried-zaha-manchester-city\">Wilfried Zaha<\/a> (Crystal Palace)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Ivory Coast international winger was always going to be a key player for the Eagles this season and he has proven his worth in recent weeks. In the last five gameweeks, the winger has produced three goals and two assists, including a brace in the Eagles 3-2 win over Brighton last time out in the top-flight.<\/p>\n<p>Roy Hodgson\u2019s relegation-threatened side visit inconsistent Watford this weekend. This game will be an ideal opportunity for Zaha to add to his goals and assist tally, which currently stands at seven goals and five assists, despite an injury-ravaged campaign.<\/p>\n<p>At \u00a36.8m, Zaha offers a very good midfield option, as there is a small choice of players to choose from in gameweek 35.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chroniclelive.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/ayoze-perez-rank-newcastle-uniteds-14546604\">Ayoze Perez<\/a> (Newcastle)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Spanish forward has been in superb form of late for the Magpies, as the north east side have moved away from the drop zone and into mid-table. In the last three games, Perez has scored three times and produced two assists for the Magpies.<\/p>\n<p>The goals and assist means that Perez has now scored five times and produced six assists for the north east side.<\/p>\n<p>A price tag of just \u00a35.3m and a game against a lacklustre Everton side at Goodison Park this weekend makes Perez a very good option for your third striker slot. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/soccer\/premier-league\">The Magpies are underdogs to win at Everton<\/a><\/strong>, but their recent red-hot form suggests they can cause an upset on Merseyside.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who will be gameweek 35\u2019s top picks?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some Premier League teams have just four games left, so that means that we have reached a pivotal stage of the FPL campaign.

My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses.

Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home.

Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project.
