Updated: 21/01/2025

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

The top-flight Premier League action is coming at us thick and fast at the moment as we head into ‘Week 16’ in the English top-flight this weekend.

Another full set of fixtures to get stuck into that starts with Bournemouth hosting Liverpool in the Saturday lunchtime clash – a game the Merseysiders win 0-4 last season!

We’ve then five 3pm games that include Manchester United taking on Fulham at home, while Arsenal welcome Huddersfield to the Emirates in a clash the Gunners took 5-0 last term!

The Saturday 5:30pm encounter is a cracker too as Chelsea entertain the league leaders – Man City – at the Bridge, while we’ve also got a Saturday night game this week as Spurs travel to Leicester – Harry Kane has netted five goals in the last two repeat fixtures, so the Spurs hitman is one to have on your radar.

Onto Sunday, and we’ve just the one game as struggling Newcastle take on Wolves – the sides have met six times in the Premier League and Wolves are yet to record a victory.

We end week sixteen on Monday night with Watford travelling to Everton and with 9 of the last 12 clashes between the sides seeing OVER 2.5 GOALS then we should be in for plenty of action…….cue a 0-0 bore draw!!

As always here at StatZone we’ve got all the games covered from a head-to-head angle, plus our best betting option on each match based on the stats – So, let’s get started!
