Everton brought in offensive power in the form of Thierno Barry, who averaged two fouls won per 90 minutes for Villarreal in LaLiga last season. The French striker also achieved an average of 2.8 shots per match, demonstrating his activity in the attacking third and ability to create shooting opportunities.

Cunha also ranked fifth in shots on target (1.5 per 90 minutes), making him a dangerous weapon for the Red Devils' attacking phase.

The English midfielder achieved the third-highest average of fouls won per 90 minutes in the league (3.1) among players with a minimum of 900 minutes. He proved his consistency by winning at least two fouls in each of his last seven starts in the competition. Arsenal's creative force will rely on Bukayo Saka, who led the entire Premier League in average chances created per 90 minutes (3.0) among players with a minimum of 900 min...

The Ecuadorian midfielder was among five players last season who attempted more than 100 tackles (114 – average 3.1 per 90 minutes).

The English midfielder averaged 0.65 goal involvements per match, making him a key figure in the Blues' attacking phase.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley: Key Statistics Before Opening Round

Image
16 August 2025 Brennan Johnson enters the new season as Tottenham's biggest scoring threat after becoming the team's top league scorer last season with 11 goals. The Welsh forward also has an excellent record against newcomers - he scored four goals in his last two league matches against newly promoted teams, making him a key player for today's encounter.

His ability to disrupt opposition play could be crucial in difficult moments of the match.

Sunderland vs West Ham United: Key Statistics Before Opening Round

Image
16 August 2025 Sunderland can rely on the exceptional performance of defender Trai Hume, who dominated the EFL Championship last season. Only two players made more tackles than the Northern Irish full-back with his 119 challenges (average 2.8 per 90 minutes). However, Hume is not just a defensive specialist - from his right-back position he managed to create an impressive 57 chances, making him a complete modern defender. West Ham will depend on Jarrod Bowen's scoring form, who finished last season's Premier League in excellent mood with four goals in his final four matches. The English forward also has an outstanding record against newcomers - in the 2024-25 season he was involved in six goals in six games against newly promoted teams (4 goals, 2 assists). Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paquetá represents another weapon for the Hammers thanks to his ability to win fouls. In last season's Premier League he averaged 2.3 fouls won per 90 minutes and in each of his last nine l...

Aston Villa vs Newcastle United: Key Statistics Before Opening Round

Image
16 August 2025 Morgan Rogers ended last season's Premier League campaign in exceptional form, contributing to seven goals in his final nine matches (1 goal, 6 assists). The Aston Villa midfielder also demonstrated his defensive capabilities, recording 2+ tackles in three of his previous five appearances, showcasing his all-around contribution to the team. Discipline could be a factor for Villa's Boubacar Kamara, who has conceded exactly two fouls in five of his last six Premier League outings, including in the previous encounter against Newcastle United in April. This consistency in fouling patterns suggests an area of concern for the French midfielder. Newcastle United boast two of the Premier League's most fouled players from last season. Bruno Guimarães topped the charts with 108 fouls won, while Anthony Gordon claimed third place with 71. The Brazilian midfielder proved particularly effective at drawing fouls, winning and earning at least two fouls each in 15 differ...

Image
  Bournemouth – Ipswich Town April 1st, 2025 The Cherries are heading for a historic achievement. After a 2-1 victory at Portman Road, Bournemouth can complete a league double against Ipswich Town for the first time since the 1949-50 season. Back then, both teams met in the Third Division South. For Ipswich, traveling to the south of England has traditionally been an unpleasant journey. The Tractor Boys have won just one of 16 league duels at Bournemouth, back in September 1953 with a 3-2 result. They last appeared here more than ten years ago, drawing 2-2 in the Championship in November 2014. Matches between these opponents have long promised goal feasts. Both teams have scored in the last eight league encounters since March 1989. Bournemouth has even scored at least one goal in each of the last 11 mutual duels. The hosts are going through a minor results crisis. After a series of excellent performances, they have lost three of their last four Premier League matches. At thei...
