Premier League: Seven Saturday sizzlers to prep you for the action

Jamie Vardy's looking to party against Arsenal once again, while Burnley is developing a terrible habit of blowing leads. We've got all of the best Saturday stats, facts & figures via the Premier League to prep you for the action.

Leicester vs Arsenal

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has scored more Premier League goals against Arsenal than he has against any other side in the competition (11). In fact, only Wayne Rooney (12) has netted more against the Gunners in the competition than Vardy. Arsenal stat: Two of the four players aged 21 or younger to create more than 10 chances in the Premier League this season are Arsenal duo Emile Smith Rowe (13) and Bukayo Saka (14), with Smith Rowe assisting in two of his last four Premier League appearances.

Burnley vs Brentford

The Clarets have opened the scoring in five Premier League matches this season but failed to win any of them (D3 L2). Indeed, they have dropped more points from winning positions than any other side in the Premier League this term (12).

Liverpool vs Brighton

Mohamed Salah’s hat-trick at Old Trafford last week took the Liverpool forward to 10 Premier League goals after just nine matches this season. He is only the third player to reach double figures before his side’s 10th match of the campaign, after Les Ferdinand (Newcastle United) in 1995-96 and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton) last season.

Man City vs Crystal Palace

Man City have lost just one of their last 50 Premier League matches that have kicked off at 15:00 on a Saturday (W43 D6), but that was a 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace in December 2018.

Newcastle vs Chelsea

Chelsea is looking to win four consecutive Premier League matches under Thomas Tuchel for the second time. They previously did so in February, with the fourth match in that run coming against Newcastle United.

Watford vs Southampton

Southampton's 20-year-old striker Armando Broja has scored in both of his Premier League starts for the club so far. If he starts and scores here, he’d be the first player under 21 to score in each of his first three starts in the competition.

Spurs vs Man United

After netting three goals in his first two Premier League appearances for Man United this season, Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t scored in any of his last four league matches, his worst run since November 2017 for Real Madrid (also four in a row). He hasn’t gone five in a row without a goal since a run of nine for the Red Devils between November 2008 and January 2009.
