Analysing the Premier League has never been more of a numbers game, and an understanding of statistics, figures and numerical patterns is a valuable asset to be armed with when approaching any betting market.

With those numbers and statistics in mind, we’ve compiled a list of useful pieces of information that we think are worth noting ahead of the latest round of 2020/21 Premier League fixtures.

Last week, we came close to landing a 40/1 stat attack five-fold, when three of our five selections landed.

We correctly forecast that there would be over 1.5 goals scored in the first half of Aston Villa’s thrilling clash with Southampton, that there would be a late goal (after 74 minutes) in Newcastle’s win over Everton and that a penalty would be awarded at Old Trafford in Man Utd’s 1-0 reverse to Arsenal.

This week we are aiming to hit the mark with all five betting tips – and you can check out our latest clutch of stat attack picks below, complete with this week’s 21/1 acca!
