Premier League Stat Pack: Matchday 35

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last four Premier League away games against Newcastle (W2 D2) – only once have they gone five league games without defeat at St James’ Park, doing so between September 1961 and May 1969.

Aston Villa’s Emiliano Buendia played for Norwich in the 2019-20 Premier League campaign, ranking fourth for most chances created that season. He could become the sixth player to score a Premier League goal against Norwich having previously played for them in the competition, after Chris Sutton, Efan Ekoku, Ruel Fox, Harry Kane, and Nathan Redmond.

Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke has scored six goals in 13 Premier League appearances against Southampton – only against Chelsea and Sunderland (seven each) has he netted more. The Belgian is without a goal in his last 11 Premier League games, though only three of those were starts.

Burnley have won five of their nine Premier League games against Watford (56%). Of the sides they’ve faced at least five times in the competition, only against Bournemouth (75%) and Hull (67%) do they have a better win rate.

Wolves are on the longest current run of Premier League games without a draw, with none of their 15 games in 2022 so far ending level (W8 L7).

Manchester City remain unbeaten away from home in the Premier League since a 1-0 loss at Tottenham on the opening weekend (W12 D3 since).

The Citizens have kept a clean sheet in each of their last four on the road – they’ve never gone five consecutive away league games without conceding before.

Everton boss Frank Lampard will be the 10th former Chelsea manager to take charge of a Premier League match against the Blues – only one of the previous nine has won their first such match (D1 L7), with Claudio Ranieri winning 2-1 with Leicester in December 2015.

This is Tottenham manager Antonio Conte’s 100th Premier League game in charge; he’s the fourth manager to reach the milestone this season, with each of the previous three managers losing (Ralph Hasenhuttl, Graham Potter, and Dean Smith).

However, each of the previous three Italian managers to take charge of as many have all won their 100th game (Claudio Ranieri, Roberto Mancini, and Carlo Ancelotti).

Arsenal have lost just one of their last 13 Premier League away games against West Ham (W8 D4), going down 1-0 in January 2019.

Overall, at no side have Arsenal won more Premier League away games than their 13 victories at the Hammers.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been involved in 24 goals in his last 18 Premier League games against promoted sides (18 goals and six assists), netting a hat-trick in a 3-2 win against Norwich in his last such game.

He’s failed to either score or assist a goal in just two of those 18 games, with one of those being in the reverse fixture against Brentford.
