Betting insights
- Tottenham has scored 14 goals in its last five matches. The total of 3.5 goals has gone over in seven of Tottenham’s 10 home matches. Newcastle has won in four straight matches and hasn’t conceded a goal in that span. Striker Alexander Isak has scored in six straight and is emerging as a sneaky contender for the Golden Boot award.
- Manchester City has two wins in its last 10 league matches. Pep Guardiola’s side scored three goals in its last four against West Ham. Meanwhile, the Hammers are winless in their last 18 league matches against City (3 D, 15 L).
- Southampton owns the league’s worst home record at 1-1-7. They host a winless Brentford side in nine away matches (2 D, 7 L). However, Brentford has won its last four against Southampton and is a +150 money-line favourite on Saturday.
- Liverpool has scored 14 goals, with Mohamed Salah contributing on eight (4 G, 4 A) in its last three matches. They host a slumping Manchester United team that has failed to score in its last three matches. Ruben Amorim has a 2-1-5 record in his short tenure as United manager.
- Wolves are 2-1-0 with a +5 goal differential since Vitor Pereira took over as manager. They take on a Nottingham Forest team that’s currently second in the league table at 37 points. The Tricky Trees have recorded a clean sheet in its last three matches.
