BACK to business after the international break, and for some the return to league duty can’t come soon enough. Man City will hope that Haaland can carry over his form from duty with Norway as they look to get back to winning ways with victory in the Manchester Derby, while Arsenal will be hoping Ange Postecoglou doesn’t hit the ground running as they host Nottingham Forest in Saturday’s lunchtime treat.
The guys from OPTA are back, scouring their records and using their incredible database of match facts and stats to determine the best bets from a selection of this weekend’s Premier League games.
It’s the appliance of science!
ARSENAL vs NOTTINGHAM FOREST
Ange Postecoglou‘s Premier League games as a manager have averaged 3.5 goals per game (1.8F, 1.7A), the highest rate of any manager to take charge of 50+ matches in the competition.
EVERTON vs ASTON VILLA
Only two players have had more shots from inside the box in the Premier League this season than Ollie Watkins (8), who scored home (2) and away (1) against Everton last season.
BURNLEY vs LIVERPOOL
Liverpool have won each of their last 11 Premier League games against newly promoted opposition, with nine of those coming by a margin of 2+ goals. The Reds have scored in a club record 37 consecutive top-flight matches.
MAN CITY vs MAN UNITED
Manchester City have won five of their last eight Premier League games against Manchester United (D1 L2), scoring 3+ goals in four of those victories.
