When Liverpool and Everton meet, pretty much anything can happen. That feels particularly true this week, as both of these clubs come into this game having struggled this season. 

Liverpool have lost their last two league games, and while Reds supporters probably don't want to hear this, the squad simply looks far less dangerous going forward without Luis Suarez.

Raheem Sterling is developing into a star, sure, and both Mario Balotelli and Daniel Sturridge (when he returns to action) have goals in them, but last year's most scintillating attack hasn't been putting quite the same fright in opponents thus far. 

Add in the fact that Steven Gerrard hasn't looked very good, and things are a touch panicky at Anfield these days. Manager Brendan Rodgers, to his credit, isn't pretending everything is kosher. He addressed the team's recent form, via BBC Sport:

"

We put in a lot of hard work in the first six months to a year we were here, and a lot of those processes became natural. The consequence of that was winning.

But we introduced a raft of new players—you lose the core of players who were important, and that's obviously a factor and then it becomes a bit broken. That's how our game has looked for a big part of the season, but I have a group of players here who identify with that.

We need to get back and refocus on what has allowed us win games consistently over the last 18 months to two years.

"

Everton aren't going to facilitate that process, though the Toffees haven't exactly been red-hot these days either. The club are coming off a rather surprising loss to Crystal Palace and are currently 14th on the table with just one win in five league matches. 

Where Liverpool have looked shaky in defense (a familiar theme from last year), Everton have been let down by World Cup star and 'keeper Tim Howard, who hasn't brought his amazing form in Brazil back to Goodison Park. 

In other words, expect goals, goals and more goals in this one. What a great way to start your Saturday. 

Arsenal hosting Tottenham will be a great capper that afternoon. In many ways, the two clubs are cliched versions of their recent history thus far this season. While everybody panics over this and that at Arsenal, the club sit in fourth place and are third in the league with 10 goals. 

Yes, Mesut Ozil should be utilized in the middle. Yes, the defense is woefully thin and beaten up (one reason the midweek loss to Southampton in the Capital One Cup wasn't all that devastating, as the team really doesn't need one more competition to worry about).

Yes, the absence of a true holding midfielder is troubling. Yes, we're all still figuring out where Jack Wilshere best fits on this team.

And yes, the Gunners are capable of scoring three goals in the time between when you got up to go the bathroom and when you return to the living room. 

At Arsenal, things are never quite as bad as they seem, in small part because things are also never quite as good as they could be. For all of the wonderful playmakers and creative attackers and delicate, precise passes, the spine of the team continues to be a concern. 

And then there's Tottenham, who started the season by teasing with great promise before crashing back down to earth in a script perfected by Spurs in recent years. James Dall of ESPN FC has more:

"

Tottenham had to go and spoil it didn't they by reverting to being, well, Tottenham. Even when the club enjoyed their promising start to the season, when even this column patted them on the back with words, there was a sense of anxiety at what might await around the next corner: From four wins on the spin to four matches without a victory, including a horrid display that led to a home loss against Alan Irvine's West Bromwich Albion.

Order was sort of restored during midweek, only thanks to a late rally in the Capital One Cup against Nottingham Forest as they won 3-1 with three goals in the final 18 minutes. Defeat versus the Championship club would have met with more poison from a White Hart Lane that has, over the years, reached a level of dissatisfaction that means not many misplaced passes or positional lapses are required for the atmosphere to turn sour.

"

Can Spurs walk into the Emirates and come away with three points? Sure. Will they?

No, probably not. Arsenal may have flaws in their depth and the lack of bite in the midfield, but they'll still put out a starting 11 with more talent than Tottenham's group.

Ozil, when he's on, can unlock any defense. Alexis Sanchez has quietly been brilliant for the Gunners, especially when played on the wing. Danny Welbeck has fit in like a charm, even if his goalscoring record continues to frustrate. Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey have seemed to alternate strong performances.

Erik Lamela will cause problems on the left wing, no doubt, but he won't be enough to earn the three points for Spurs.

Finally, which Manchester United will we see on Saturday? The club seemingly capable of scoring at will or the one that can't stop anyone from returning the favor? Who will be dropped, Juan Mata or Wayne Rooney or Robin van Persie? Who will be healthy enough to suit up on defense?

For United, their identity is all of the questions. For so long, United had a team of answers. Now, we simply don't know what we'll get from them. And at least from a neutral perspective, it's brilliantly fascinating to watch.
