Aston Villa v Arsenal

PLs top away performers

The Opta Stat:

"Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has kept more away clean sheets than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League this season (7). Indeed, the last 'keeper to keep more shutouts on the road for the Gunners in a single league campaign was Jesns Lehmann in 2003-04 (8), the last time Arsenal won the title."

The Betfair Bet:


Brentford v Crystal Palace

Points shared in West London

The Opta Stat:

"All three Premier League meetings between Brentford and Crystal Palace have been drawn. Only three fixtures in the competition have ever seen the first four meetings end level - Arsenal vs QPR, Bournemouth vs Watford and Southampton vs Stoke."

The Betfair Bet:


Brighton & Hove Albion v Fulham

Mitro's in the sky with Seagulls

The Opta Stat:

"Including penalties, no side has scored more goals from set-piece situations this season than Fulham (15), while Brighton have conceded a league-high share 46.4% of their goals from set-pieces (13/28). Indeed, against no side has Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic scored more Premier League goals than he has against Brighton, netting four times in five appearances against the Seagulls."

The Betfair Bet:


Chelsea v Southampton

A game for it to finally click for Potter?

The Opta Stat:

"Southampton have kept just one clean sheet in their last 28 Premier League matches, a 1-0 away win at Bournemouth in October. Their last clean sheet against a side that wasn't newly-promoted to the division that season was in April 2022 at home to Arsenal, a 1-0 win."

The Betfair Bet:


Everton v Leeds United

Dyche is surprising, Firpo is not

The Opta Stat:

"Everton manager Sean Dyche has never beaten Leeds in the Premier League in four previous meetings, all whilst as Burnley manager (D1 L3), despite beating each og the other 30 teams has has come up against in the top-flight. Looking at Leeds, their full-back Junior Firpo has been booked 13 times in his 30 Premier League appearances and is averaging a card every 155 minutes, the worst ratio of any player to play ar least 2,000 minutes in the competition's history."

The Betfair Bet:


Nottingham Forest v Manchester City

Erling more history?

The Opta Stat:

"Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick in Man City's 6-0 win over Nottingham Forest in August. The only player to have scored a hat-trick in both fixtures against a side in a season in Premier League history is Emmanuel Adebayor for Arsenal vs Derby in 2007-08."

The Betfair Bet:


Wolverhampton Wanderers v Bournemouth

Pick Unders over Overs

The Opta Stat:

"Wolves are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games against newly-promoted sides (W3 D4) since a 2-0 home loss to Brentford in September last season. Their three such games this season have produced just one goal (0-0 v B'mouth & Fulham and 1-0 v Forest). Indeed, Wolves have scored just seven goals in the second half of Premier League games this season, fewer than any other side."

The Betfair Bet:


Newcastle United v Liverpool

Newcastle run to end?

The Opta Stat:

"Since losing 2-1 to Liverpool in August, Newcastle are unbeaten in their last 17 Premier League games, their joint-longest run without defeat in their league history. However, this is the first time Newcastle are facing Liverpool in the Premier League whilst at least five places above the Reds since September 2006, when 15th places Liverpool beat 9th placed Newcastle 2-0 at Anfield. Mohamed Salah, meanwhile, has six goals in his last 10 Premier League games against Newcastle."

The Betfair Bet:


Manchester United v Leicester City

Two sides amongst the goals

The Opta Stat:

"Leicester are looking to win three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since January 2021, while they've scored more goals in these two victories (8) than they had in their previoys eight league games combined (7). Manchester United, meanwhile, have scored in each of their last 27 Premier League games against Leicester."

The Opta Stat:


Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United

Boost Kane to 10/1

The Opta Stat:

"West Ham have lost their last five away London derbies in the Premier League, since winning 3-2 at Crystal Palace on New Year's Day in 2022. It's their longest such losing run since a streak of six between April 2009 and October 2010. Meanwhile, no player has scored either the opening goal (7) or the winning goal (8) in more different Premier League games this season than Tottenham's Harry Kane."
