Opta Stats: Chelsea to keep Stoke waiting for first win

Oscar opened his account spectacularly against Juventus
Chelsea had a tough midweek date with the Old Lady, but a visit from Stoke is always a welcome one...
Chelsea v Stoke (Saturday, 15:00)
Stoke have failed to score in each of their last four visits to Stamford Bridge in all competitions
As this most unfavourable stat suggests, Tony Pulis' Stoke side may just have to wait an extra week for that elusive first win of the Premier League season. There are not many teams in the league which Potters fans will admit to fearing but, if they were coerced into choosing one, many would no doubt say Chelsea. Since Stoke's arrival in the Premier League, a visit to Chelsea has only ever spelt defeat.

Southampton v Aston Villa (Saturday, 15:00)
Saints have conceded the joint-most goals after four games of any team in Premier League history (14 along with Swindon in 1993-94)
The fixture computer has not been particularly kind to Southampton, who have had to contend with both Manchester clubs as well as an away trip to Arsenal. However, Saints quickly need to address their defensive frailties if they have designs on staying afloat this season. Nigel Adkins men have now conceded at least two goals in all four Premier league games.

Newcastle v Norwich (Sunday, 15:00)
Norwich have won just one of their last eight Premier League away matches (W1 D2 L5)
If only Delia Smith could create Chris Hughton a recipe for an away day Premier League win. One ingredient which has obviously been missing is a clean sheet away from Carrow Road, something the Canaries have not achieved in 35 Premier League matches. Norwich's task won't get any easier at Newcastle, where the Magpies have won eight and lost just one of 12 Premier League games at home this calendar year.

Man City v Arsenal (Sunday, 16:00, Sky Sports 1)
There have been four red cards in the last four Premier League games between City and the Gunners
Ever since Emanuel Adebayor decided it would be a good idea to run the length of the pitch at the Etihad Stadium to celebrate in front of the Gunners fans, there has been a real edge to this fixture. Of course there is the fact that the champions have stolen several of Arsenal's better players to add to the hostility too. Arsenal's great start will sprinkle some extra spice on the game too.
