Liverpool vs Tottenham hotspur 28.10.2019

Liverpool’s five competitive home matches this season have produced 23 total goals (4.6 on average), with both teams scoring in each of those fixtures. Confident at home, the ‘Reds’ are unbeaten in an astonishing 44 straight home league games - the longest such run in any of Europe’s top five leagues.

Their last home match was decided by a late penalty though, in what was the 34th time Liverpool have scored a winning injury-time goal in the Premier League (PL) - more than any other team. However, they’ve netted 66.67% of their PL home goals during the first half this season, although, against Tottenham, they’ve scored after the 85th minute in three of the last four competitive H2Hs.

Tottenham is struggling in the league this term and remain without a win on the road (D2, L2), conceding 2.25 goals on average. Without a win in their last nine visits to Anfield (D3, L6), they’ve at least found the net in six of those games. 

Norwich City vs Manchester united 27.10.2019

It is a super Sunday match today, Norwich City vs Manchester United. On a four-game winless run in the Premier League (PL), Norwich City can at least take some comfort from the fact both their league wins so far have come at home (W2, L2). In fact, with all four of their home games ending with over 3.5 goals, Carrow Road has produced a league-high average of 5.0 total goals per PL game this term.

Although outsiders here, Norwich have scored in all three games they’ve played this season against teams that finished in the top six during 2018/19. Whilst they conceded at least two goals in all three of those matches (W1, L2), they also scored two goals within the opening 30 minutes in the last two such games, both of which were at home. 

Newcastle United vs Wolves 27.10.2019

Premier League (PL) games have been tight at St James’ Park this season, with all four finishing with under 2.5 goals (W1, D2, L1), and three goalless at half-time. A 1-0 win over Manchester United in their last home match did give the ‘Magpies’ a second consecutive PL home clean sheet, as they now search for a third in a row for the first time since March 2018.

Six of Newcastle’s last eight PL victories have now been accompanied by a clean sheet, and with three of the hosts’ last four top-flight games witnessing no goal before the 70th minute, another solid defensive performance could be likely here. Indeed Newcastle’s last two competitive H2H wins also came ‘to nil’.
