This week’s Premier League betting roundup from WhoScored.com covers Burnley's away day woes, Ronaldo's record against Spurs and Chelsea's home dominance over Newcastle.
Brentford vs Burnley
Burnley's seasonal away day struggles
Burnley may be unbeaten in three on the road ahead of Saturday's trip to Brentford, having picked up five points from nine available, but the Clarets have struggled on their travels across 2021/22. Only Everton (six) and Watford (eight) have earned fewer away points than Sean Dyche's side (nine) in the Premier League this season.
Failure to turn draws into wins could prove Burnley's undoing
The Clarets have previously had a knack for grinding out key wins when the going gets tough. Has their luck finally run out, however? No team has drawn more games (12) in England's top tier this term and that failure to turn draws into wins could prove their undoing in their bid to beat the drop.
Ivan Toney starting to feel at home in the Premier League?
A hat-trick at Norwich last time out took Ivan Toney's Premier League goal total to nine. Toney (6/4 to score anytime this weekend) failed to net in his opening six home league matches following Brentford's promotion yet has shown signs he is beginning to feel at home in the division. Indeed, while he has scored just three home league goals this season, they have come in his last six at the Brentford Community Stadium.
Manchester United vs Tottenham
Which Tottenham will turn up?
When the games were coming thick and fast, Tottenham showed a greater resemblance to Jekyll and Hyde than a Champions League chasing Premier League outfit. While Spurs look to have ironed out their inconsistencies, there are still question marks on their away form. Their last eight in all competitions reads WLWLWLWL. Which Tottenham (best price 12/5) will turn up at Old Trafford?
Cristiano Ronaldo's unbeaten run against Spurs
Cristiano Ronaldo missed the Manchester Derby through injury and Manchester United fans are hopeful he can return to action this weekend. Ronaldo has scored four goals in his last five league meetings with Spurs, including a fine strike in the reverse fixture. In addition, on the 12 occasions the Portugual international has featured against Tottenham in the league, he is yet to be on the losing side, with United winning eight of those 12.
Harry Kane currently the best in Europe
Using WhoScored.com's unique rating system, Harry Kane is the form player in Europe's top five leagues at present. The Tottenham star looks back to his best after a poor first half of the season and while he has scored just four league goals against Manchester United in his career, three of those have come at Old Trafford, including a brace in Spurs' 6-1 win in this game last season.
Chelsea vs Newcastle
Chelsea's home dominance over Newcastle
Chelsea have endured a testing couple of days due to off-field issues but made it four league wins on the bounce on Thursday night. The Blues have also enjoyed plenty of success over Newcastle in recent years, winning the last nine meetings between the pair at Stamford Bridge, a run which started back in August 2012.
Newcastle one of the Premier League's form teams
While Chelsea have dominated this fixture in recent years, Newcastle are one of the form teams in England. Along with Liverpool, the Magpies are one of two teams yet to lose a Premier League game in 2022, securing six wins from their eight games. 10 of the 13 away points they have earned this season have come in four games this calendar year, so Newcastle (a huge 10/1 best price) will fancy their chances of ending their west London hoodoo on Sunday.
Kai Havertz capitalising on Werner and Lukaku goal woes
Chelsea must have felt they'd sorted their striker issue over the summer with the big money return of Romelu Lukaku. However, neither he, nor 2020 arrival Timo Werner, have won over Thomas Tuchel, with Kai Havertz presently the leading light in the Blues attack. The German may have just five league goals to his name yet has scored five times in his last six outings for the Blues, including Chelsea's decisive third at Carrow Road on Thursday night to confirm the three points.
