Man Utd v Norwich (Paul Higham)

Best bet:

Key stats

  • Man Utd’s last two home league games against promoted sides have seen them lose 0-2 against Cardiff and draw 2-2 with Aston Villa – they’ve not failed to win three consecutive such games since February 1990.
  • Norwich have lost 16 of their last 20 away Premier League games (W2 D2) since winning 2-1 at Old Trafford against Man Utd in December 2015.
  • As caretaker manager of Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjær averaged 2.46 points per game in the Premier League (P13 W10 D2 L1) – as permanent boss, he is averaging just 1.34 points per game (P29 W10 D9 L10).

Chelsea v Burnley (George Pitts)

Ross Barkley celebrates his goal against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup

Chelsea have lost their last two Premier League games at Stamford Bridge but four points from their last two away games means they still have a nice five-point cushion over Man United in fifth.

Burnley go into this clash on the back of a three-match losing run in the league and Sean Dyche will hope that scoring four in the FA Cup win over Peterborough last week will give them renewed confidence.

The Clarets have been pretty inconsistent away from home, from going close in 2-1 defeats at Arsenal and Leicester to being hammered 5-0 at Tottenham.

The Spurs defeat was most definitely an off day and Dyche's squad will have benefitted from a much-needed week between matches after the hectic festive period.

While Chelsea are highly unlikely to lose three on the bounce on home turf, the visitors can at least get on the score sheet and the price at a fraction under evens is worth taking.

The Blues are 14th in the home table and have conceded 10 goals in as many games at the Bridge and the Clarets, who scored twice in the reverse fixture, a 4-2 defeat at Turf Moor, have plenty of reasons to be travelling to the capital without fear.

: Chelsea 2-1 Burnley

Best bet:

Key stats

  • Chelsea are looking to complete the league double over Burnley for the first time since 2009-10, following their 4-2 victory at Turf Moor in the reverse fixture.
  • Chelsea haven’t lost three consecutive home Premier League games since November 1993 under Glenn Hoddle.
  • Burnley are currently on a run of three consecutive Premier League defeats – the ninth time since the start of last season they have endured such a run.
  • Chelsea have conceded 28% of their Premier League goals in the final 10 minutes of games this season (8/29), the highest percentage of any team.
  • Ashley Westwood has provided 12 Premier League assists since the start of last season for Burnley, three more than any other Clarets player. Westwood has assisted each of their last three league goals.
  • Since the start of last season, no Premier League player has started more open play sequences ending in a goal than Chelsea’s Jorginho (11, level with João Moutinho).

Everton v Brighton and Hove Albion (George Pitts)

: Everton 2-1 Brighton

Best bet:

Key stats

  • Brighton have never won away against Everton in any competition, drawing two and losing five of their visits.
  • Brighton have lost five of their last seven Premier League away games (W1 D1); since the start of the 2017-18 season, the Seagulls have lost more top-flight away matches than any other club (30).
  • Since Carlo Ancelotti’s first Premier League match in charge on Boxing Day, Everton have had more shots than any other team (50).
  • Among defenders, only Trent Alexander-Arnold (59) has created more chances in the Premier League this season than Everton’s Lucas Digne (46). Since the start of last season, no player has created as many chances (117) or has more assists for the Toffees in the Premier League than the Frenchman (7).
  • Carlo Ancelotti is set to face Brighton for the first time in the Premier League – the Italian has beaten 21 of the 22 teams he has faced in the competition, with his current side Everton the only one he’s failed to beat (P4 W0 D2 L2).

Leicester City v Southampton (George Pitts)

: Leicester 3-1 Southampton

Best bet:

Key stats

  • Leicester earned the biggest away win in English top-flight history in the reverse fixture against Southampton, winning 9-0 at St Mary’s in October. They last did the Premier League double over Saints in 1999-2000.
  • Southampton won this exact fixture 1-0 last season – they’ve never won back-to-back away league games against Leicester before.
  • Since losing 9-0 to Leicester, Southampton have conceded just 13 Premier League goals in 11 games – in this time, only Liverpool (7) and Leicester (11) have conceded fewer.
  • Southampton have collected 16 points from their last eight Premier League games (W5 D1 L2), one more than in their previous 20 games in the competition (W3 D6 L11).
  • Brendan Rodgers has won as many Premier League games in 31 matches in charge of Leicester as his predecessor Claude Puel did in 56 games (19 wins); only three of 24 players used by Rodgers never appeared under Puel (Ayoze Pérez, Dennis Praet, James Justin).
  • Among players with at least five Premier League goals this season, the two players with the best shot conversion rate are Leicester’s Jamie Vardy (35%) and Southampton’s Danny Ings (27%).

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Newcastle United (George Pitts)

: Wolves 2-0 Newcastle

Best bet:

Key stats

  • Wolves have lost their last two Premier League games, last losing three in a row back in November 2018.
  • Wolves have scored the first goal in just six different Premier League games this season, fewer than any other side. However, they’re one of just five sides still unbeaten when opening the scoring this term, winning five and drawing one of those six games.
  • Wolves winger Adama Traoré has created 22 chances following a ball carry in the Premier League this season; only Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish has more (24). Traore has progressed the ball upfield with a carry the furthest distance in the division this season (3781m).
  • Newcastle manager Steve Bruce has registered a league win over Wolves with six different clubs (Huddersfield, Crystal Palace, Birmingham, Sunderland, Hull and Aston Villa). Should he win this match, they would be only the second club he’s beaten with seven teams, along with Blackburn Rovers.

Crystal Palace v Arsenal (Paul Higham)

Best bet:

Key stats

  • Arsenal have lost just one of their last 14 away league games against Crystal Palace (W7 D6), going down 0-3 in April 2017.
  • Arsenal are looking to record consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since winning their final game of 2018-19 and their opening two matches of this campaign.
  • Crystal Palace are the only side yet to score more than twice in a single Premier League match this season. Indeed, the Eagles’ Premier League games have seen fewer goals than other side’s matches this season (42), while Selhurst Park is the lowest scoring ground in the top-flight this term (18).
  • Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is averaging a goal or assist every 88 minutes in Premier League London derbies (10 goals, 4 assists) and has scored against all five London teams he’s faced, with two goals coming against Crystal Palace.
