The Betfair Bet:

Brentford v Newcastle United

Magpies throwing it back

The Opta Stat:

"Newcastle United have scored 80 Premier League goals this season, their most ever in a league campaign with a maximum of 38 matches. They have also conceded 60 goals, the first time a team has scored 80+ and conceded 60+ in a top-flight campaign with a maximum of 20 teams since 1914-15, when both Blackburn (F83 A61) and Sunderland (F81 A72) did so."

The Betfair Bet:

Pascal's favourites come to town

The Opta Stat:

"Brighton's Pascal Groß has scored more Premier League goals against Manchester United than he has vs any other side (7). He's scored in his last three against them in the competition, with only Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (5), Mohamed Salah (5) and Sergio Agüero (4) netting in more consecutive appearances against the Red Devils."

The Betfair Bet:

Burnley v Nottingham Forest

Forest to end Burnley's season

The Opta Stat:

"Burnley have conceded at least once in each of their last 19 Premier League games - they last had a longer run without a league clean sheet between March and September 2011 (20). On the other hand, Nottingham Forest came from behind to beat already relegated Sheffield United in their last Premier League away match. They've not won consecutive top-flight away games since a run of four in March/April 1995, three of which were against sides who were relegated that season."

The Betfair Bet:

Chelsea v Bournemouth

Back Senesi to see red (or yellow)

The Opta Stat:

"Marcos Senesi has been booked 12 times in the Premier League this season, the joint most by a Bournemouth player in a single campaign along with Jefferson Lerma in 2018-19. No South American player has ever been booked 13 times in one season."

The Betfair Bet:

Crystal Palace v Aston Villa

Should Watkins really be 9/2 for one more?

The Opta Stat:

"Ollie Watkins has more assists than any other Premier League player this season (13). Only Ashley Young (14 in 2007-08) has ever provided more in a single Premier League campaign for Aston Villa."

The Betfair Bet:

Liverpool v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Klopp x Salah end on a high

Article image:Premier League Final Day Opta Stats: Back 9/2 assist tip and 12/1 Bet Builder

The Opta Stat:

"This will be Jürgen Klopp's 334th and final Premier League match in charge of Liverpool. He won his final league game in charge of both FSV Mainz 05 (May 2008) and Borussia Dortmund (May 2015), though none of Liverpool's last six managers have won their final league game in charge of the club (D3 L3). Indeed, Mo Salah is set to make his 250th Premier League appearance for Liverpool in this match. The Egyptian already has the second-highest combined goals and assists tally by any player in their first 250 appearances for a single club in the competition (223 - 155 goals, 68 assists), behind only Thierry Henry for Arsenal (243 - 171 goals, 72 assists)."

The Betfair Bet:

Luton Town v Fulham

Double the assists

The Opta Stat:

"No player has created more chances from set play this season than Luton's Alfie Doughty (42), while only James Ward-Prowse (6) has more such assists than the Hatters full-back (5). For Fulham, Andreas Pereira has created 84 chances in the Premier League this season, the most on record (since 2003-04) for a Fulham player in a single campaign. He also has seven assists this term, with Simon Davies the last player with more for the Cottagers (8 in 2007-08)."

The Betfair Bet:

Manchester City v West Ham United

2/1 is a price whenever City play

The Opta Stat:

"Man City's Kevin De Bruyne has six assists in Premier League final games - it's the most of any current player, with only Nolberto Solano providing more in the competition's history (7). De Bruyne's assist for Haaland against Spurs on Tuesday took him to 112 in the Premier League, with only Ryan Giggs having more in the history of the competition (162)."

The Betfair Bet:

Sheffield United v Tottenham Hotspur

Ange to show Spurs' serious side

The Opta Stat:

"Sheffield United have conceded 101 Premier League goals this season, the outright most in a single campaign. In a top-flight season with a maximum of 20 teams, only Leicester in 1908-09 (102) and Darwen in 1891-92 (112) have shipped more. Indeed, the Blades have a goal difference of -66 so far this season - defeat by four goals here will see them finish the campaign with the worst goal difference in Premier League history (currently -69 by Derby County in 2007-08)."
