England, Premier League, Saturday, 20th January, 12:30 (UK)
Arsenal need to get back to winning ways and they have the perfect opportunity against Crystal Palace. The Gunners have lost their last three competitive matches and won just one of their last seven. They have dropped to 4th in the Premier League and cannot afford to give up any more ground in the title race.
Crystal Palace have won just once in their last eleven matches in all competitions. Roy Hodgson is feeling the pressure as his side is plummeting towards the lower end of the Premier League. The Eagles have only won once in their last 10 visits to the Emirates.
Arsenal matches average the 3rd fewest throws in the division, with an average of 30 per game. This decreases to 28.2 in their league matches at the Emirates. When they hosted Crystal Palace last season, there were just 28 throws in that game.
The Eagles’ matches have seen the 6th most throws in the league, but there should be considerably fewer when they take on Arsenal. The Gunners have already hosted Sheffield United this season, a side whose matches rank 3rd in terms of throws, and there were just 26 in that clash. Wolves’ match throw average is the closest to Palace’s, and there were also 26 throws when they played at the Emirates.

Thomas Frank has struggled to get his Brentford side going this season. They have just one win in their last 10 matches, but they hope the return of Ivan Toney will signal the start of a better period for the club.
This one promises to be an entertaining clash. Since Nuno Espirito Santo took the helm, Nottingham Forest’s matches have seen plenty of goals, and that trend should continue when they take on Brentford. Forest are currently one point above the Bees, having played a game more.
Brentford’s home matches in the league have seen an average of 15.5 goal kicks per game. We can expect an end-to-end game on Saturday night, and both sides are capable of forcing more than their fair share of goal kicks. There have been at least 15 in seven of Brentford’s last eight home league matches.
There were 16 goal kicks the last time Nottingham Forest took on Brentford, and we should see a good number once again. Forest were toothless for much of the opening half of the season, but Santo is keen for them to attack. There were 24 goal kicks in his only Premier League away match in charge so far.

The clock is ticking for Sheffield United as they aim to get themself off the bottom of the Premier League. The club have turned to former boss, Chris Wilder, in a bid to stay in the top flight. However, they are eight points adrift, with 18 games left to play.
West Ham are 6th in the table and competing for a European place. David Moyes was left outraged with the team’s exit from the FA Cup midweek, but their recent league form has been strong. The Hammers have lost just one of their last nine Premier League matches.
Sheffield United have ranked highly in terms of throws all season. Their match average of 39.55 is far above the league average of 35.89. Since Wilder returned, their home matches have all seen a minimum of 46 throws with an average of 51.33.
Regarding throw counts, David Moyes’s side rank in the bottom half of the table. Yet, this still looks like a good bet, given how big Sheffield United’s recent numbers have been. There were 45 throws the last time the Hammers visited this ground.

Bournemouth have already lost twice to Liverpool this season, but they have been competitive against the league leaders. The Cherries had a rough start to life under Andoni Iraola, but they have turned the corner in recent months. They have suffered just one defeat in their last nine matches in all competitions. They hope to repeat their performance from last season’s fixture, which saw them win 1-0.
Liverpool have only suffered one defeat in the Premier League this season. That came against Tottenham as the team were reduced to nine men. Klopp’s side had been a little shaky on the road, but they have won their last three Premier League away matches.
The Cherries are the most tackles side in the division, with their opponents averaging 21.32 per game. Their matches have an overall average of 39.74, and the league average is just 35.49. This bet has won in four of their last six Premier League matches at the Vitality Stadium with an average of 42.17 tackles.
Liverpool’s opponents in away league matches average 20.4 tackles per game, which makes them the 3rd most tackled team when playing on the road. The high numbers against both sides make this tackle line an appealing prospect.

Wolves’ trip to Brighton rounds off the Premier League action. The Seagulls put four past Gary O’Neil’s side earlier this season. Roberto De Zerbi’s men also ran out 6-0 winners the last time these slides went head-to-head at the Amex Arena. Brighton have struggled for consistency this season, but they remain in the race for a European place, and the football has been easy on the eye.
Gary O’Neil has done a sterling job at Wolves this season. The outlook was bleak when Julen Lopetegui departed on the eve of the season, but the club are currently 11th in the league. Wolves have won their last three Premier League matches and are full of confidence.
I’m betting at least 28 shots in this one. There were 32 shots, with each team contributing 16 in the reverse fixture. Brighton’s home matches have seen an average of 29.3 shots this season.
Wolves’ away matches average 26.3 shots per game in this campaign, slightly below what is required for this bet. However, there were 32 shots when they last came to this ground.
