The Opta Stat:

"No keeper has kept more clean sheets in the Premier League this season than Jordan Pickford (7), while Fulham have failed to score in a league high nine different Premier League games this term. Indeed, Everton (33%) and Fulham (38%) have the lowest ratio of thier matches seeing both teams to score in the Premier League this season."

The Betfair Bet:


Luton Town v Brighton & Hove Albion

Seagulls to tame Hatters

The Opta Stat:

"All six of Luton's home defeats this season have been a single goal, losing 1-0, 2-1 (three times), 3-2 and 4-3. They've kept one clean sheet at Kenilworth Road so far this term (1-0 v Newcastle), but have also only failed to score in one of their 10 home games (0-1 v Tottenham). No player has created more chances in the Premier League this season than Brighton's Pascal Groß (55, level with Bruno Fernandes). Fourteen of these have been for João Pedro, with only Mohamed Salah (20 for Darwin Núñez) and Moussa Diaby (15 for Ollie Watkins) creating more for a single teammate this term."

The Betfair Bet:


Crystal Palace v Sheffield United

Back Chilean to fire

The Opta Stat:

"Ben Brereton Diaz scored for Sheffield United on his Premier League debut against West Ham last time out. The only player to score in both of their first two Premier League games for the Blades was Brian Deane back in August 1992. During that match, he managed four shots and two of those hit the target."

The Betfair Bet:


Aston Villa v Newcastle United

Let's not forget Villa's home form

The Opta Stat:

"Alexander Isak has scored in each of Newcastle's last three Premier League games but ended on the losing side in them all. In the competition's history, no player has ever scored in four successive appearances while losing each one. In fact, Newcastle have lost each of their last four Premier League games, conceding at least three goals in the last three of those. This is the Magpies' longest league losing run since January 2021 (run of 5), while not since December 1965 have they conceded 3+ goals in four straight league fixtures."

The Betfair Bet:


Manchester City v Burnley

De Bruyne De Man

The Opta Stat:

"Manchester City have spent the longest time winning (850 minutes) and the least amount of time losing (188 minutes) in the Premier League this season. They've trailed for just three minutes at home this term, with Tottenham the only side to lead against them at the Etihad so far. Indeed, Man City's Kevin De Bruyne marked his Premier League return from injury last time out with a goal and an assist from the bench against Newcastle United. The Belgian has been involved in six goals in his last five appearances against Burnley in all competitions (2 goals, 4 assists)."


Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford

Their 2-2 draw on opening weekend could be repeated

The Opta Stat:

"Tottenham have scored in each of their last 33 Premier League games, their longest scoring streak in their league history. Only three teams have scored in more consecutive Premier League matches - Arsenal (55 from 2001 to 2002), Manchester United (36 from 2007 to 2008) and Liverpool (36 from 2019 to 2020). Indeed, both Brentford and Tottenham have lost four Premier League games after scoring the first goal this season, with no side losing more often. Spurs have opened the scoring in more different games than any other side this term (16)."

The Betfair Bet:


Liverpool v Chelsea

Get on the boosted 9/1

The Opta Stat:

"Jürgen Klopp has won 199 of his 317 Premier League games in charge of Liverpool. He would be the seventh manager to reach 200 wins in the competition, with victory in this game making him the second fastest (318 games) to reach the milestone after Pep Guardiola (269 games). Indeed, looking at the players for both sides, Darwin Nunez (2.0) and Cole Palmer (1.4) lead their team when it comes to shots on target per 90 minutes in Premier League matches this season."

The Betfair Bet:


West Ham United v Bournemouth

One more shot on Mavropanos

The Opta Stat:

"Excluding penalties, only Nottingham Forest (11) have conceded more goals from set-pieces than Bournemouth (9) in the Premier League this season. West Ham's James Ward-Prowse has created more chances from set play than any other player this term (28). Indeed, centre-back Kostantinos Mavropanos has managed at least one shot in each of his last four matches (5 in total), excluding the match against Bristol City when he was subbed off injured before half-time."

The Betfair Bet:


Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester United

Use #Oddsonthat to really take on Man United

The Opta Stat:

"Since the start of MD15 (5th December 2023), only Liverpool (17) have amassed more Premier League points than Wolves (14 - W4 D2 L1), whilst Manchester United have lost three of their last four Premier League away games (D1), scoring just one goal across these four outings. The Red Devils could lose three successive away league matches for the first time since a run of seven from March to August 2022."
