Premier League matchday 34 is spread across six days, due to FA Cup semi-finals taking place this weekend, so we've got the Opta stats and tips for the three midweek matches. We'll be back with the rest this weekend...

Brighton v Chelsea - Back Seagulls to pile pressure on Rosenoir

Tuesday 21 April, 20:00, Live on Sky Sports

The Opta Stat: 

Brighton have won their last two league games against Chelsea, as many times as they had in their first 19 against the Blues (D4 L13).

Since the start of 2022-23, Brighton have scored 2+ goals in six of their seven league games against Chelsea, netting 17 times in total (2.4 per game). Between 1983-84 and 2021-22, they never scored more than once in 14 league games against Chelsea, netting just six goals in that time (0.4 per game).

Bournemouth v Leeds - Back the draw 

Wednesday 22 April, 20:00, Live on Sky Sports

The Opta Stat: 

Bournemouth have drawn each of their last four Premier League home games; only in September 1962 (5) and April 1967 (6) have they ever drawn more league matches in a row at home. Indeed, in the Premier League, only eight sides have ever had five successive home draws, most recently Burnley from February to March 2021.   

Leeds United are unbeaten in their last five away games in the Premier League (W1 D4), their longest run in the competition since going six without defeat from August to October 2001. The Whites are looking to win back-to-back Premier League away games for the first time since April 2022.

The Bet: Back the Draw @ 13/53.60

Burnley v Man City - Back visitors to march on in title race

Wednesday 22 April, 20:00, Live on Sky Sports

The Opta Stat: 

Manchester City have scored 5+ goals in five different Premier League matches against Burnley - no side has done so more often against another in the competition's history.
