There have been under 2.5 goals scored in each of the last 6 competitive matches between Manchester City and Arsenal and the best home defence (2 conceded) host the best away defence (5 conceded) in this one. City were able to rest a number of players in midweek while Arsenal, who played a day later, fielded a strong side in Napoli so that may take its toll.

Newcastle are aiming for their fourth home victory in a row when Southampton visit St. James' Park, with the Saints on their worst ever run under Pochettino (1 point from 12). Between them Loic Remy and Yoan Gouffran have 5 goals and an assist in their last 3 home appearances but they will be without compatriot Cabaye, who scored in this fixture last season, through suspension.

Only Aston Villa have scored fewer home goals than Cardiff this season (7), while just 7 of West Brom's goals have come on the road so this is unlikely to be a goal fest. In fact, both of these sides are in poor form, sharing the longest current winless streak in the Premier League of 5 matches going into the game.

Crystal Palace may have conceded just once in their last 5 league matches but the likelihood of another clean sheet away at Chelsea is slim. The Blues, still unbeaten at home in the Premier League under Mourinho, have netted at least twice in each of their league matches at Stamford Bridge this season.

Fulham have failed to score in 305 minutes of Premier League action away from home but their matches against Everton usually guarantee goals. 6 of their last 7 meetings have seen over 2.5 goals scored and Martinez's side have netted 12 times in their last 5 matches at Goodison Park.

Sunderland have won three and conceded just once in their last 4 matches against West Ham and this should be an intense game as both sides desperately need the points. The Hammers only goal in that run was scored in the 93rd minute by captain Kevin Nolan, who is suspended for this game, and West Ham continue to struggle in front of goal having failed to score in 8 matches this season.

The late kick-off on Saturday won't exactly inspire the neutral as Hull host a Stoke side that have picked up just 1 point from a possible 15 away from home. The Tigers have conceded just 3 goals in 7 matches at the KC Stadium, and never more than once in a game. This will be the 6th different fixture in which former United teammates Steve Bruce and Mark Hughes have gone toe-to-toe on the touchline.

Since Norwich and Swansea were promoted to the Premier League in 2011 there have been 20 goals scored in the 4 encounters between the two sides. With Michu back fit the visitors will hope to have the upper hand as the Spaniard scored 3 goals against the Canaries last season, with Pilkington and Snodgrass - who have 5 goals between them in the aforementioned 4 meetings - both sidelined for the hosts.

With Aston Villa potentially missing captain Ron Vlaar the likelihood of Lambert's side keeping a third consecutive clean sheet at home is slight against Manchester United, though Villa have taken the lead in 4 of the last 5 meetings between the sides away from Old Trafford.

Tottenham's home form has been poor this season, picking up five more points on the road thus far (16 to 11) but they haven't lost to Liverpool at White Hart Lane since 2008. Spurs have won each of their 5 home meetings with the Reds since then, with a 2-1 scoreline enough to settle the game in the Londoners' favour in 4 of those matches.
