Liverpool v Watford

  • 1230 kick-off on BT Sport

Best bet:

Key stats

  • Liverpool’s last three home Premier League games against Watford have seen them win 6-1, 5-0 and 5-0. No side has ever won four consecutive home games by a margin of 5+ goals against an opponent in top-flight history.
  • Liverpool are guaranteed to be top of the Premier League table at Christmas – the last three occasions of a team failing to win the title having been top at Christmas have been Liverpool (2008-09, 2013-14 and 2018-19). The only side to be top of the league table at Christmas in consecutive years and fail to win the title both times was Everton in 1894-95 and 1895-96.
  • Liverpool have won their last 15 home top-flight matches – they’ve only had one longer run at Anfield in their history, winning 21 in a row between January and December 1972.
  • Liverpool have scored a league-high 10 headed goals in the Premier League this season, with no player in the division netting more headers so far this term than Virgil van Dijk (3). Indeed, the Reds have scored more headed goals (10) than Watford have scored in total in 2019-20 (9).
  • Liverpool’s Mo Salah has been involved in seven goals in four Premier League appearances against Watford (6 goals, 1 assist). Teammate Sadio Mané has been involved in eight goals in five games against them for the Reds (5 goals, 3 assists), while fellow forward Roberto Firmino has been involved in eight in his last six against the Hornets (5 goals, 3 assists).

Bournemouth celebrate at Southampton earlier in the season
  • Bournemouth have lost each of their last six Premier League games in London, conceding 20 goals in the process. In total they’ve won just six of their 24 top-flight games in the capital (D3 L15), with 33% of these victories coming at Chelsea.
  • Chelsea have lost two of their eight Premier League home games this season (W4 D2), more than they did in the whole of 2018-19 under Maurizio Sarri (W12 D6 L1).
  • Only Manchester City (337) have had more shots than Chelsea in the Premier League this season (274). The Blues’ average of 17.1 shots per game is their highest in a single campaign since 2013-14 (18.2).
  • Tammy Abraham has scored in consecutive Premier League games at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea – the last Englishman to score in three home games in a row for the Blues was Frank Lampard in August 2010.
  • Harry Wilson is Bournemouth’s top scorer in the Premier League this season with six goals. Five of those strikes have come away from home, accounting for 56% of the Cherries’ nine goals on the road this term.

Leicester v Norwich

Jonny Evans: Leicester defender celebrates his goal against Aston Villa

Such is Leicester's good form, it is no surprise to see them so well fancied in the majority of markets here.

Brendan Rodgers' side have won nine in a row in all competitions while Norwich are in danger of drifting away from the pack in the bottom three of the Premier League table.

Jamie Vardy is in red-hot form and can go closer to his 2015/16 record by scoring in a ninth successive Premier League game - he is, of course, odds-on but you can back him to find the back of the net in the first half at a more appealing 13/10.

The preferred value lies away from the results markets and instead with corners. For all Norwich's recent struggles, they still create chances and average five corners per away game in the top flight this term.

Leicester have the best defensive record in the league having conceded just 10 goals and may well keep out the Canaries, but they could at least have their fair share of defending to do.

Backing at least four Norwich corners is around 5/4 but the more appealing 9/4 price is on them to have at least five set pieces.

, Pellegrini is the odds-on favourite and it is, at the time of writing, a surprise to see him still in a job.

There has reportedly been talks about his position this week and their run of one win in their last 11 in all competitions has been dreadful. That win at Chelsea bought the Chilean time but now it appears to be a fluke rather than a reflection of the work being done by Pellegrini.

Hasenhuttl is the next in the list at 9/1 and the Saints were denied a point late on at Newcastle last week. Surely they will win this one at home.

While West Ham's record signing Sebastian Haller struggles in front of goal, Danny Ings is in red-hot form having scored in five successive games. The 11/8 available on him to score against a dodgy Hammers defence is not bad at all.

But due to both sides' unpredictability, there is not too much else that stands out here other than backing the hosts to win and under 3.5 total goals at 2/1. The Saints should win, but it is not one that fills you with confidence.

Prediction: Southampton 2-1 West Ham
