After a week of enthralling European action, the Premier League returns this weekend. We’ve got some sizzling games to look forward to and here’s some stats to help you find the value in the betting market.
Bournemouth v Liverpool
When: Saturday 11th March
Kick-Off: 12.30pm
Where: Vitality Stadium
TV: BT Sport 1
Remember the 9-0 at Anfield earlier in the season? This is the reverse fixture and Liverpool have never scored more than 11 goals against one opponent in the Premier League (Ipswich Town in 2001/02). After their hammering of Manchester United, Klopp will be desperate for more goals, while Bournemouth have won just one in 11 meetings with the Reds. Their last seven meetings have an aggregate scoreline of 28-1. Ouch.
Liverpool to score over 2.5 goals - 6/4

Leeds United v Brighton and Hove Albion
When: Saturday 11th March
Kick-Off: 3pm
Where: Elland Road
Brighton are unbeaten in all five Premier League meetings with Leeds, and in those meetings they’ve kept four clean sheets and conceded just once. Leeds haven’t beaten Brighton since a 2-0 home win in the Championship back in 2017 and have won just one of their last 12 Premier League matches.
Everton v Brentford
When: Saturday 11th March
Kick-Off: 3pm
Where: Goodison Park
Brentford are unbeaten in three Premier League games against Everton and have only won more points against West Ham than the Toffees. They won this fixture 3-2 last term and are unbeaten in their last five away league matches. However three of the four wins Everton have recorded this season have come against London clubs.
Leicester City v Chelsea
When: Saturday 11th March
Kick-Off: 3pm
Where: King Power Stadium
Following their 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea are looking to record their first league double over the Foxes since 2016/17. Leicester have won one of their last six home games against the Blues but Chelsea are without an away win in ten games in all competitions. The victory over Borussia Dortmund should boost them however.
Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest
When: Saturday 11th March
Kick-Off: 3pm
Where: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Spurs exited the Champions League in midweek and now it looks as if Antonio Conte will leave this summer. All is not well in this part of north London and there is no recent history between the two teams, with Forest’s last visit coming in 1998. They lost that one 2-0, and are on a run of three straight defeats against Spurs. This feels different though.
Draw or Nottingham Forest - 9/5
Crystal Palace v Manchester City
When: Saturday 11th March
Kick-Off: 5.30pm
Where: Selhurst Park
TV: Sky Sports Main Event
Crystal Palace haven’t won in their last seven home games against Manchester City and they’ve failed to score in five of those seven matches. Meanwhile every one of City’s last nine goals against Palace have come in the second half. They need a win to keep the pressure on Arsenal.
Half time draw, full time Man City - 11/4
Manchester United v Southampton
When: Sunday 12th March
Kick-Off: 2pm
Where: Old Trafford
Manchester United will be reeling from their 7-0 hammering at Anfield and they’ll want a big reaction here. Southampton are winless in their last 14 meetings with Man Utd and given their form this term, could be on the end of a hammering.
West Ham United v Aston Villa
When: Sunday 12th March
Kick-Off: 2pm
Where: London Stadium
West Ham have won their last five consecutive matches against Aston Villa, their second best run against one team in Premier League history. Villa are winless in nine against the Hammers but they have won their last two matches, with two clean sheets to boot.
Aston Villa -1 handicap - 13/2
Fulham v Arsenal
When: Sunday 12th March
Kick-Off: 2pm
Where: Craven Cottage
TV: Sky Sports Main Event
Fulham are winless in their last nine Premier League meetings with Arsenal (D2, L7). Meanwhile, Arsenal boast a 71% win rate over Fulham, their highest of any opponent they have faced on more than 20 occasions. The Gunners have flourished in London this term, winning four away matches in the capital with an aggregate score of 8-0.
Gabriel Martinelli to score anytime - 6/4
Newcastle United v Wolverhampton Wanderers
When: Sunday 12th March
Kick-Off: 4.30pm
Where: St James’ Park
TV: Sky Sports Main Event
Since their return to the Premier League, Wolves have conceded just once in nine meetings with Newcastle. The Magpies haven’t scored in their last three games in all competitions, including the Carabao Cup final.
