Monaco vs Manchester City Preview City to win Over 3.5 goals Monaco endured a nightmare start to their UCL campaign with a humbling 4-1 defeat away to Belgian champions Club Brugge.

Everton vs West Ham Preview Everton to win Under 3.5 goals Everton’s season has already had its fair share of turbulence.
