• There have been just 24 goals scored in Newcastle’s 13 Premier League home games this season (F12 A12) – no other side’s home games have seen fewer. Only in 1980-81 has St James’ Park seen a lower goals-per-game ratio (1.7) than the 1.8 there this term.
• Newcastle are winless in their last four Premier League games (D2 L2), and have failed to score in their last three. The Magpies last went four in a row without a goal in September 2015.
• Burnley have won four of their last five Premier League games (D1), as many as they had in their previous 14 in the competition (W4 D0 L10).
• Newcastle have faced more shots on target than any other Premier League side so far this season (158). Only once since 2003-04 has a team faced as many as 5.9 shots on target per game in a Premier League campaign and avoided relegation (Sunderland in 2015-16).
• No side has scored a higher share of their Premier League goals from set-piece situations (excluding penalties) than Newcastle this season (50% - 12/24). However, Burnley have conceded a league-low 5% of their goals this term from such situations (2/39).
• Of players to have played at least 900 minutes in the Premier League this season, Newcastle’s Allan Saint-Maximin has embarked on more dribbles per 90 minutes than any other player (9.7). He’s beaten an opponent with 58% of these, the third highest among players to have attempted at least 100.
• Newcastle striker Joelinton has gone 24 games, 1946 minutes and attempted 35 shots since his last Premier League goal against Tottenham in August.

West Ham v Southampton

I have had an eye on this game for a while with a goalscorer in mind at around 9/2, until he picked up an injury against Liverpool to keep him sidelined for around three weeks.

A blow for both our Premier League tips and for Tomas Soucek so early in his West Ham career, but we shall stick with the goals market and with another Hammers player.

David Moyes' side are in desperate need of a win as they sit in the final relegation spot, but a repeat performance of Monday's defeat at Liverpool should go some way to delivering that here.

The trouble is that they are inevitably going to raise their game against the league leaders, but against a fellow bottom-half side in front of your own nervy fans it is a different question.

• Laura Woods column: Hailing King Ralph

Ralph Hasenhuttl's Saints have been better away from home this term, collecting 20 of their 34 points. Only the current top four have a better away record and that is why they go into the game as 13/8 favourites.

They are prone to a lapse, though, and you cannot back them at this price. There is hope from West Ham that they can continue their display and this squad looks too strong overall to go down.

The interest is with the stand-in striker Michail Antonio, with the utility man preferred to lead the line over expensive summer buy Sebastian Haller.

With Antonio in this role, the 3/1 anytime price looks overpriced (with the system probably still believing he is a winger) and it is therefore worth a small play.
