THE BIG FACTS

Pub Ammo

🤣 Sean Dyche has managed 10 Premier League games where his side has had more than 60% possession — he hasn’t won one of them (6L, 4D). The most recent was his final game as Forest manager.

⚒️ Arsenal’s points total (57) is the fewest the Premier League leaders have had after 27 games since Leicester in 2015-16.

🇳🇴 Jørgen Strand Larsen has scored three times this season for two different clubs, and all three have come against Burnley in 3-2 losses.

🐺 Wolves’s draw with Arsenal was the first time in Premier League history that a team in the relegation zone has come back from 2+ goals down against the league leaders.

🤯 Thomas Frank has the worst win rate (27%) of any Big Six manager in Premier League history.

🤌 Igor Tudor, the new Spurs manager, has won his first game in charge of his last five clubs. It’s the North London Derby on Sunday…

THE BIG TIPS

Pass!

3 points | Man City HT/FT ☞ 6/5
💭 City will surely see the title within reach after Arsenal’s slip-up at Wolves and should tear into a Newcastle side they brushed aside with ease over two-legs in the Carabao Cup. Not to mention, the Geordies only just got off a plane from Azerbaijan on Thursday.

1 point | Dan Ballard Over 48.5 passes ☞ 5/6
💭 The Sunderland man made 52 passes against Liverpool and 55 against Arsenal in his last two outings, and Fulham are a side who allow opposing centre-backs plenty of time on the ball.

BIG SIX ENERGY

Fishing for compliments

Each week, we’re going to platform a club, player or manager who’s got a bit of “Big Six Energy” about them. Whatever that means.


BODØ/GLIMT
The Norweigan side have only played three competitive matches since November (weirdly - or normally - the Eliteserien League runs over a calendar year).

In those three games, they have beaten Man City, Atlético Madrid and Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Not bad for a fishing village team with just 54,000 residents and a slightly dodgy name!
