Back Forest to stun Chelsea
West Ham v Brentford
Out of form Hammers to be stung by Bees
The Opta Stat:
"Brentford are looking to win consecutive Premier League away games for the third time, previously doing so in October 2021 and April 2022. Both previous occasions of back-to-back away wins included a London
derby victory."
The Betfair Bet:
Liverpool v Leicester
Reds can win with goals at both ends
The Opta Stat:
"Liverpool have won three consecutive league games for the first time this season, though they've not managed to keep a clean sheet in their last five. Indeed, the Reds have kept just four clean sheets in their 19 Premier League games since the start of May, with only Southampton, Leeds and Aston Villa keeping fewer among ever-present sides in that time."
The Betfair Bet:
Wolves v Manchester United
United can keep winning run going
The Opta Stat:
"Manchester United have won their last two Premier League away games against Wolves, winning in May and August 2021. Manchester United haven't lost their final league game in any of the last 10 calendar years (W7 D3), since a 3-2 defeat to Blackburn in 2011."
The Betfair Bet:
Bournemouth v Crystal Palace
Home comforts to suit Moore
The Opta Stat:
"Kieffer Moore has scored three goals in his last two home Premier League games. Indeed, he's the only Bournemouth player to score more than once at home this season, netting four of the Cherries' nine league goals at the Vitality Stadium."
The Betfair Bet:
Fulham v Southampton
Free-scoring Cottagers to claim the points
The Opta Stat:
"Fulham have scored 82 goals in 39 league games in 2022 - it's their highest number of league goals in a single calendar year since netting 85 in 2000. Southampton have lost eight of their last 10 Premier League away games (W2), with their 1-0 win at Bournemouth in October their only clean sheet in their last 22 on the road."
The Betfair Bet:
Manchester City v Everton
Toothless Toffees in for a big defeat
The Opta Stat:
"No side has lost more Premier League away games so far in 2022 than Everton (12). Man City's Phil Foden has scored three goals in his last four Premier League games against Everton, while he's also had a hand in nine goals in eight league appearances at the Etihad this season (6 goals, 3 assists)."
The Betfair Bet:
Newcastle v Leeds
Same old as Magpies win with Almiron scoring
The Opta Stat:
"Newcastle have won each of their last six Premier League games, last having a longer such run in September/October 1996 (7 under Kevin Keegan). Newcastle's Miguel Almirón has scored nine goals in his last 14 Premier League games, as many as he had in his first 112 appearances in the competition."
The Betfair Bet:
Brighton v Arsenal
Low-scoring affair on the cards
The Opta Stat:
"Arsenal have kept six clean sheets in their eight Premier League away games this season (more than any other side), as many as they'd managed in 19 games on the road last term. However, the two games in which they conceded are the only two away games they've failed to win this season (1-3 vs Man Utd, 1-1 vs Southampton)."
The Betfair Bet:
Tottenham v Aston Villa
More drama involving Spurs and goals
The Opta Stat:
"Aston Villa have lost each of their last five Premier League games in London, conceding at least twice each time. Meanwhile, they've not kept a clean sheet in any of their last 13 league visits to the capital, since beating Arsenal 3-0 in November 2020."
The Betfair Bet:
Nottingham Forest v Chelsea
Blues' losing streak on the road to continue
The Opta Stat:
"Nottingham Forest have won 11 of their 19 Premier League games in January, their best win rate in a single month in the competition (58%). Chelsea have lost their last three away games in all competitions, last losing four in a row on the road in January/February 2019 under Maurizio Sarri."
