Saturday 15:00 - Brentford v Liverpool

Capital gains for league leaders

"Liverpool have scored in all seven of their Premier League meetings with Brentford (17 goals in total). The are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League away games against London sides (W5 D2), beating Tottenham 6-3 and West Ham 5-0 in their last two.

Cottagers can't stop scoring

The Opta Stat:

"Leicester City have lost their last six Premier League matches, only once having a longer losing run in the competition, losing eight in a row in March and April 2001 under Peter Taylor. Having failed to score in their first Premier League away game this season (0-1 vs Manchester United), Fulham have now scored in each of their last nine on the road, their longest away scoring streak in the competition."

Saturday 15:00 - West Ham v Crystal Palace

Both sides to net in a home win

The Opta Stat:

"West Ham have scored in each of their last 21 Premier League games against Crystal Palace, their longest scoring streak against an opponent in their top-flight history. However, their 2-0 win in the reverse fixture was their first clean sheet against the Eagles in 15 meetings."

Saturday 17:30 - Arsenal v Aston Villa

Emirates brings out the best in Ollie

Sunday 14:00 - Everton v Tottenham

Son to shine at Goodison

The Opta Stat:

"Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 11 Premier League away games against Everton. The Toffees have lost their last three Premier League matches without scoring a goal.

Sunday 14:00 - Manchester United v Brighton

United to come on strong in second-half

The Opta Stat:

"None of the 15 Premier League meetings between Manchester United (8 wins) and Brighton (7) have been drawn. Each of United's last 11 Premier League goals against Brighton have come in the second half of the match. They've not scored before half-time in any of their last eight meetings with the Seagulls, their joint-longest run without a first half goal against a side in the competition (also 8 vs Chelsea between 2013-2016).

Sunday 14:00 - Nottingham Forest v Southampton

Saints look no closer to being out of the Wood(s)

The Opta Stat:

"Southampton are winless in their last 23 Premier League games against sides starting the day in the top four of the table (D8 L15), since a 1-0 win against Liverpool in January 2021. Saints have lost all four such games this season by an aggregate score of 12-4. Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood has been involved in four goals in his last five Premier League games against Southampton (3 goals, 1 assist)."

The Betfair Bet:

Sunday 16:30 - Ipswich v Manchester City

Haaland to return to form with a bang

The Opta Stat:

"Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick in Man City's 4-1 win against Ipswich earlier this season - the only player to score home and away hat-tricks against an opponent in the same campaign is Emmanuel Adebayor (for Arsenal vs Derby County in 2007-08). Manchester City have won 20 of their last 21 Premier League games against promoted sides since losing 2-1 to Leeds United in April 2021."

The Betfair Bet: Back Erling Haaland to score a hat-trick @ 10/1

Monday 20:00 - Chelsea v Wolves

In-form players to make their mark

The Opta Stat:

"Chelsea's Cole Palmer has been involved in five goals in his last two Premier League games against Wolves, scoring two and assisting three. He set up all three of teammate Noni Madueke's goals in the reverse fixture back in August. Matheus Cunha is averaging 3.3 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League for Wolves this season. Among players to play 1,000+ minutes in a campaign for them, only Henri Camara in 2003-04 has averaged more shots in one season (4 per 90 mins)."
