18 August 2025 Leeds United can rely on the defensive strength of new signing Anton Stach, who was among the most active tackling players in the Bundesliga last season. Only six players made more tackles than the German midfielder (66 – average 2.3 per 90 minutes), making him a key figure for disrupting opposition attacks in United's midfield. 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. Another important Everton player will be Iliman Ndiaye, who proved his versatility in last season's Premier League.

He confirmed his consistency in defensive work by making at least two tackles in seven of his last 14 league ...

17 August 2025 Manchester United can rely on the shooting power of new signing Matheus Cunha, who dominated Premier League offensive statistics last season. Only two players with a minimum of 900 minutes played achieved a higher average of shots per 90 minutes than the Brazilian striker (3.8). Cunha also ranked fifth in shots on target (1.5 per 90 minutes), making him a dangerous weapon for the Red Devils' attacking phase. Arsenal will depend on Myles Lewis-Skelly's ability to win fouls, which could be crucial for gaining advantageous positions. 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...

17 August 2025 Chelsea enters the new season with Moisés Caicedo as one of the most active defensive players in the Premier League. The Ecuadorian midfielder was among five players last season who attempted more than 100 tackles (114 – average 3.1 per 90 minutes). However, his aggressive style of play was also reflected in discipline, as he conceded the joint-third most fouls in the division (70 – average 1.9 per 90 minutes). Cole Palmer confirmed his versatility as one of only four Premier League players with a minimum of 900 minutes played who achieved an average of at least 2.5 shots per 90 minutes (3.6) and simultaneously at least 2.5 chances created per 90 minutes (2.5). The English midfielder averaged 0.65 goal involvements per match, making him a key figure in the Blues' attacking phase. Crystal Palace will rely on Daniel Muñoz, who became the second most active tackling player in the league with 123 challenges, surpassed only by Idrissa Gueye (133). However, the Colombi...

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. Tottenham's new signing Mohammed Kudus brings another dimension to the team. The Ghanaian midfielder averaged 2.2 fouls won per 90 minutes in last season's Premier League and demonstrated consistency by winning at least two fouls in seven of his last nine league starts. His ability to disrupt opposition play could be crucial in difficult moments of the match. Burnley will rely on the offensive strength of Zian Flemming, who dominated the EFL Championship with an average of 2.9 shots per 90 minutes. However, the Dutch midfielder must be careful with discipline - he averaged 2.1 fouls conceded per match. Interest...

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...

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...

Bruno Guimarães has conceded 2+ fouls in six of his last 10 Premier League appearances for Newcastle United, and 3+ fouls in two of his last three games against Brighton (3) and Aston Villa (5). The Brazilian midfielder is a key player for the "Magpies," but his defensive aggression can be a double-edged sword. The visitors from Chelsea will undoubtedly test his tendency to commit fouls. Newcastle United's Harvey Barnes has attempted 3+ shots in five of his last eight Premier League appearances, recording two shots on target on three occasions in that time.

  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...
