THE BIG FACTS

Pub Ammo

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England named a starting XI (vs Wales) without a player from Chelsea, Liverpool or Man United for the first time since 1992.

🤯 Mikel Arteta has won exactly the same number of games in his first 300 games as Jurgen Klopp did at Liverpool — 177.

🍒 Antoine Semenyo has been involved in 81.8% (9/11) of Bournemouth’s goals this season.

👩‍🦳 Erling Haaland has scored at almost every away ground he’s played at (22 out of 23) since he joined the Premier League, bar one: Liverpool. (He’s also been offside just 16 times!)

🇪🇸 Mikel Merino has contributed to 42% of Spain’s goals in their World Cup qualifiers, the highest percentage of any player in the world

🪨 Arsenal have conceded just four open play goals in 2025 with Gabriel and Saliba starting.

THE BIG TIPS

Bourne Identity

2 points
Bournemouth to have more corners than Palace
☞ 5/6
💭 The Cherries have won the corner count in 5 of their 7 matches, including at Spurs and Liverpool, while Palace trail 23-43 in total flag-kicks this season.

2 points
Bristol City to win (Draw No Bet market)
☞ Evens
💭 Bristol City, quietly impressive so far, should be favourites to beat poor Norwich, who could be in for a relegation battle.

THE BIG FUNNIES

Toenali

🙃 Paul Scholes (pictured sucking his daughter’s toe above) ranked Sandro Tonali as the best midfielder in the League. A few days later, he put Alexis Mac Allister in his Top 5 midfielders in the world as the only Premier League representative.

🚴 Evangelos Marinakis hired Ange Postecoglu to play attacking football and is now lining up *checks notes* Sean Dyche to replace him.

🕶️ Marcos Llorente is here to clarify something that apparently needed urgent clarifying… 🤷‍♂️👇
