THE BIG FACTS

Pub Ammo

↪️ Spurs have played just four through-balls all season in the League. The average is 18.

😰 Romeo Lavia has only featured in 29 games for Chelsea since joining in 2023, missing 77 games due to injury and never completing 90 mins.

❌ Arsenal conceded just 0.10 xGOT (Expected Goals On Target) in October. Based on this, they’d let in one goal every 10 months. @xgphilosopy

🚩 Erling Haaland is yet to be offside this season.

🐺 Wolves have conceded five or more goals to Chelsea more frequently than any other opposition. They meet tomorrow evening.

🤝 Man City and Liverpool’s last 18 meetings have seen 6 wins apiece and 6 draws, while Salah just needs 1 goal to make it double figures against the Sky Blues.

THE BIG TIPS

Saving passing Ryan

3 points
CHELSEA -1.75 vs Wolves
Odds ☞ 17/20
💭 Chelsea will freshen up the team to negate the effects of extensive midweek travel. They should beat a struggling and manager-less Wolves comfortably.

2 points
WATFORD to win vs Bristol City
Odds ☞ 6/5
💭 Watford have been good in returning manager Gracia’s first four games and they can get our weekend off to a flyer against injury-hit Bristol City.

2 points
GRAVENBERCH Over 44.5 passes
Odds ☞ 5/6
💭 The Dutchman has exceeded this line (of 44 passes) in all 8 league starts this season and comparative DCMs Gomes, Ugarte, Zubimendi, Adams and Kamara have all done likewise against City this season.

THE BIG STORIES

Who ate all Depay?

🥧 Memphis Depay has been asked by Corinthians to leave his current accommodation, which is costing the club £400,000 a year - perks include room service, full security and an armoured car.

🤢 Joey Barton has been found guilty of sending grossly offensive electronic communications intended to cause distress or anxiety, to Jeremy Vine, Lucy Ward and Eni Aluko. Great news.

🇺🇸 Zohran Mamdani, the newly-elected New York mayor is a lifelong Arsenal fan. He’ll surely be keeping a close eye on Sunderland vs Arsenal this weekend… given this tweet back in 2016.
