Premier League Stats: Four offerings for Sunday’s action

After plenty of midweek action, Sunday sees four Premier League matches take place as Nottingham Forest look to continue their remarkable season at home to Southampton, Everton host Tottenham, Manchester United face Brighton and Ipswich face a tough test at home to Manchester City. 

Below you can find some Premier League Stats for each of these fixtures taking place on Sunday, January 19, as we look to provide some facts that could help you pick some winners. 

Nottingham Forest vs Southampton

Southampton almost caused a shock on Thursday night as they took the lead at Old Trafford, but their hope was dashed by an Amad Diallo hat-trick as they were handed yet another defeat. That leaves them on six points, which is the lowest points total after 21 Premier League fixtures in history. 

Derby County’s record-low points record of 11 is now under threat and the Saints seem destined for the drop. In terms of this match, Southampton have lost nine and drawn two away league games this season, scoring just six in their 11 fixtures on the road so far. Meanwhile Forest have won five of their 10 home fixtures, losing just twice at the City Ground and are 4/11 to take the win.

Chris Wood has had a fantastic season, scoring 13 goals from 22 shots on target making him one of the most efficient forwards in the league. Up against a Southampton team that has conceded a whopping 47 goals this term, he will fancy his chances and is 10/11 to score anytime, and 3/1 to score first. 

In terms of cards, Flynn Downes and Taylor Harwood-Bellis both catch the eye for the away team. Downes picked up another yellow off the bench at Old Trafford and is priced at 5/4 to pick up a yellow while Harwood-Bellis, on seven yellows and set to start, can be backed at 16/5.

Everton vs Tottenham 

Everton didn’t get the result they had hoped for on David Moyes’ return as they lost 1-0 at home to Aston Villa, drawing them close to the relegation zone. Their next test comes as Tottenham come to town off the back of a north London derby defeat, with the Toffees 15/8 for the win. Ange Postecoglou has now seen his side lose six of their 10 league games on the road this term and they’ve dropped to 14th in the table ahead of the weekend, priced at 6/4 to take maximum points.

Spurs are now winless in their last five league matches while they also failed to beat Tamworth in 90 minutes in the FA Cup. Meanwhile, Everton have scored just one in their last six league outings, failing to register a Premier League win since December 4. 

Dominic Solanke and Heung-min Son lead the way for shots on target from these two teams with 20 and 19 respectively, but it is James Maddison who is the top scorer with eight goals. He seems to have lost his place in Postecoglou’s first XI however, so check the team sheet before adding him into any bets. Solanke is priced at 13/8 to score anytime and 5/1 to find the net first. 

Over 2.5 goals has only come in during 35 per cent of Everton matches this season, while there have been under 2.5 goals in each of their last seven fixtures. Spurs are at the other end of the scale for goals, with over 2.5 goals priced at 8/13 to come in during this fixture.

Manchester United vs Brighton

Man Utd’s late 3-1 success over Southampton on Thursday now means they have won five and lost five of their 11 league fixtures at Old Trafford this term. They are 11/10 to win this one, while Brighton are 12/5 to secure three points, having only lost three league games on the road this term. 

They are unbeaten in their last four on the road, winning 2-0 away at Ipswich in midweek, while Danny Welbeck is their top scorer with six league goals. The former United man is 9/4 to score anytime and 7/1 to open the scoring, but he will have competition from United’s in-form young star, Amad Diallo.

Diallo took his total for the season to six with a hat-trick against Southampton and he offers good value to score again during the 90 minutes at 2/1. He’s scored those goals from just 13 shots on target and 38 shots on total, and has been United’s brightest spark this season. 

Both of these teams have seen over 2.5 goals in 13 of their 21 fixtures so far, and that is priced at 8/13 while BTTS is 8/15 having come in during 16 of Brighton’s 21 games. 

Manchester United vs Brighton Odds

Ipswich vs Manchester City

Ipswich lost again in midweek to leave themselves in the bottom three, while they face another tough test at home to Manchester City on Sunday. City beat them 4-1 on two occasions in 2024, but Kieran McKenna will hope the new year will bring new luck as they face the champions once again. 

Ipswich have won just one home league game so far this term, and they are 15/2 to pull off a shock, while Manchester City are 1/3 to secure their fifth away win of the campaign. They drew 2-2 at Brentford in midweek and remain sixth in the league, seemingly struggling to get a run of wins together.

Erling Haaland is fresh off the back of signing a new nine-and-a-half year contract with the Citizens and has scored 16 goals this season, two behind Mo Salah in the race for the Golden Boot. He is 2/1 to score first and 3/5 to score anytime having scored three in his last three.

Liam Delap is Ipswich’s biggest threat with eight goals to his name, and may have a point to prove against his former club. He’s 21/10 to find the net. Meanwhile, there have been over 2.5 goals in just 43% of Ipswich matches this season, placing them joint-second bottom. Sam Morsy has picked up seven yellow cards in 19 appearances, committing 37 fouls in the process.
