Manchester United v Wolves

)

Best bet:

Opta facts

  • Manchester United are unbeaten in 11 home games against Wolves in all competitions (W9 D2) since losing 0-1 in February 1980 in a top-flight match – they haven’t trailed for a single minute in all those 11 unbeaten games.
  • Manchester United have lost their last two Premier League games without scoring – they’ve only ever lost three in a row without finding the net once before in the competition, doing so between April-May 2015 under Louis van Gaal.
  • Wolves came from behind to win their last away game in the Premier League against Southampton – they last won consecutive away matches in the top-flight in August 2011.
  • Manchester United’s record of 34 points after 24 games in 2019-20 is their worst total at this stage of a season since 1989-90 (25 points), when they went on to finish in 13th place in the top-flight.
  • Wolves striker Raúl Jiménez has been directly involved in 20 goals in his last 22 appearances in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and assisting eight more.

Crystal Palace celebrate their injury time equaliser at Manchester City
  • Crystal Palace have scored a league-low five Premier League goals before half-time this season, with just one of these coming at Selhurst Park.
  • Only runaway league leaders Liverpool have conceded fewer Premier League goals than Sheffield United this season (23). Indeed, Sheffield United’s record of 23 goals conceded after 24 games is the best by a promoted side since Fulham in 2001-02 (also 23).
  • Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has three goals and two assists in 2095 minutes of Premier League football this season, averaging a goal involvement every 419 minutes. Last season, he was averaging a goal or assist every 203 minutes in the competition.
  • No keeper has kept more clean sheets in the Premier League this season than Sheffield United’s Dean Henderson (8). Indeed, only Alisson (214) has a better minutes-per-goal conceded ratio this term than Henderson (one every 104 minutes).

Liverpool v Southampton

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain celebrates scoring for Liverpool

Liverpool need eight more wins to secure the Premier League title and do not look like letting up.

The routine 2-0 win at West Ham was their eighth in nine in midweek - including a 3/1 winner thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - and they are incredibly strong at Anfield.

Although their defence has been so good, Southampton have also been one of the league's form teams with just one defeat in their last seven. Ralph Hasenhuttl's side have performed some turnaround after looking doomed for relegation and the Austrian, compared to Klopp in his early days in England, deserves huge credit for that.

A big driving force behind that is 16-goal striker Danny Ings, formerly of Liverpool and he is 13/5 to score anytime.

But the preference is to look at the handicaps. Liverpool should win, but Southampton can score and at least run them close. With the expectation of a one-goal home win, backing the visitors on a +2 handicap at around evens looks a favourable option.

Score prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Southampton ()

Opta facts

Danny Ings and Nathan Redmond celebrate for Southampton
  • Liverpool have won their last 19 Premier League home games – only Manchester City have ever had a longer such run in the competition (20 between March 2011-March 2012). Indeed, in top-flight history only four teams have ever won 20+ consecutive home league games, with Liverpool holding the outright record (21 between January-December 1972).
  • As well as being unbeaten in 52 Premier League home games, Liverpool have scored in each of their last 27 at Anfield in the competition. They last scored in more in a row in the top-flight between May 1967 and February 1969 (38 games).
  • Southampton have won 65% of their Premier League points this season away from home (20/31) – in the history of the competition, only Crystal Palace in 1997-98 (67%) have won a higher share on the road over a full season.
  • Southampton have won their last four Premier League away games – only once in their league history have Saints won five in a row on the road, doing so between April-August 2011 between League One and the Championship.
  • Southampton’s top scorer this season Danny Ings scored in Saints’ 1-2 loss against Liverpool in August. Only two players have scored home and away in the same Premier League season against Liverpool having previously played for the Reds in the competition – Dean Saunders in 1992-93 and Jonjo Shelvey in 2013-14.

Newcastle v Norwich

Allan Saint-Maximin is quickly becoming a Newcastle favourite

Steve Bruce's injury crisis at Newcastle is hardly easing with up to nine absentees, but with the return of star winger Allan Saint-Maximin and new signing Nabil Bentaleb in midfield they still have enough to continue their strong record at St James' Park.

Last time out in front of their fans, they snatched a late win over Chelsea to take their home points to 19 points - top half form - and they welcome the Canaries, who have the worst away record and are heading for a swift return to the Championship.

Bruce's side have shown grit and even Miguel Almiron has started to chip in with a couple of goals. They are set up well and should contain Norwich, who rely too much on Teemu Pukki in the final third. A home, low-scoring win at 2/1 looks good here.

Score prediction: Newcastle 2-0 Norwich ()

Opta facts

  • Watford won none of their first three home Premier League games against Everton (D1 L2) but have since won their last three in a row against the Toffees.
  • Since losing at Vicarage Road in the Premier League last February, Everton have won two games against the Hornets in all competitions, beating them twice this season – once in the Premier League and once in the League Cup.
  • Everton haven’t kept an away clean sheet in the league since the opening weekend of the season (0-0 vs Crystal Palace), conceding in each of their last 11 on the road. However, the Toffees have also scored in each of their last eight away Premier League matches.
  • Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored five goals in six Premier League appearances under Carlo Ancelotti this season – as many as he’d netted in 16 games under Marco Silva and Duncan Ferguson in 2019-20.

West Ham v Brighton

Best bet:

Opta facts

  • West Ham United have never beaten Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League in five attempts (D2 L3).
  • Brighton have won just two of their 14 away matches against West Ham in all competitions (D3 L9), though one of those wins was in the Premier League in October 2017.
  • Brighton are one of only two teams West Ham have faced in the Premier League without beating, along with Swindon Town. Indeed, the Hammers have led for just four minutes in five Premier League games against the Seagulls.
  • Brighton have won just one of their last nine Premier League matches (D4 L4), alternating between a draw and a defeat in each of their last four.
  • Having won four points from their first three away league games this season (W1 D1 L1), Brighton have won just four from their subsequent nine on the road in the competition (W1 D1 L7), losing each of the last three in a row.
