Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions!

No rest if you’re a Premier League football player at this time of the year as we head into another full set of fixtures this weekend for ‘Match Week 17’

We get going on Saturday lunchtime with Man City hosting Everton in a clash that seems to have a habit of ended 1-1 – will it be more of the same this year?

We’ve then got five 3pm games to get stuck into that include Spurs at home to Burnley and Leicester travelling to Crystal Palace – a game the Eagles won 5-0 last season!

The Saturday 5:30pm clash is an all-London affair at West Ham travel across town to face Fulham for the first time since 2014.

Onto Sunday, and three more cracking games that sees Chelsea make the trip south to face Brighton in a game the Blues won 0-4 last season. Next up is Southampton against Arsenal – did you know the Saints have lost just one of their last 7 home league games against the Gunners?

Then we end with one of the season highlights as Liverpool welcome Man Utd to Anfield. United are unbeaten in their last eight league games over the Merseysiders, while it could pay to know that 4 of the last 5 meetings between the sides ended in draws.
