The English top-tier returns after the international break with games spread over the weekend and one on Monday
Liverpool vs Watford
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in 11 goals in just seven Premier League games against Watford, scoring nine and assisting two.
The Egyptian averages a goal or assist every 57 minutes against the Hornets, the fourth-best ratio one player has against a club in Premier League history (minimum 600 minutes against that opponent).
Brighton vs Norwich City
Neal Maupay has scored 26 goals in the Premier League for Brighton – one more strike will see him become the Seagulls’ highest goalscorer in the competition (currently level with Glenn Murray).
The Frenchman’s last two league goals have come against promoted sides – vs Brentford in December and Watford in February.
Burnley vs Manchester City
Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez has scored more Premier League goals against Burnley than he has versus any other side in the competition (8). However, just one of his eight goals against the Clarets in the competition has come at Turf Moor.
Chelsea vs Brentford
Chelsea are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Brentford in all competitions (W7 D1), since a 3-1 home loss in February 1939.
Leeds United vs Southampton
Southampton are looking to complete the league double over Leeds for the first time in the top-flight since the 1981-82 campaign, winning 4-0 at home and 3-1 away back then.
Wolves vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa striker Danny Ings has scored in his last two Premier League games against Wolves, but has ended up on the losing side both times.
Only three players have ever scored in three consecutive Premier League games against an opponent and lost each time – Matt Le Tissier vs Oldham Athletic (1993-1994), Rod Wallace vs Norwich City (1993-1994) and Ashley Barnes vs Arsenal (2018-2019).
Manchester United vs Leicester City
Manchester United have lost their last three meetings with Leicester in all competitions, as many as they had in their previous 36 against them (W24 D9).
They’ve never lost four in a row against the Foxes before.
West Ham United vs Everton
Andriy Yarmolenko has scored two goals in his last three games for West Ham in all competitions, as many as he had in his previous 38 appearances.
Eight of his last nine appearances for the Hammers have been as a substitute, with both of his recent goals coming from the bench.
Tottenham United vs Newcastle United
Tottenham striker Harry Kane has been directly involved in seven goals in his last four Premier League appearances against Newcastle, scoring five and assisting two.
Overall, he’s scored seven times against the Magpies in the competition, though just one of these goals has come at home.
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal
21-year-old Emile Smith Rowe and 20-year-old Bukayo Saka are Arsenal’s leading scorers in the Premier League this season with nine goals each.
Only twice has a club had two players reach double figures while aged 21 or younger in a single Premier League campaign – Leeds in 1999-00 (Harry Kewell and Michael Bridges), and Manchester United in 2006-07 (Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo).
