Opta Stats: Tottenham striker to feast on a familiar foe

Emmanuel Adebayor has scored seven league goals against Aston Villa

Ross Barkley, Saido Berahino, Sergio Aguero and Emmanuel Adebayor will net this weekend, judging by these Opta stats...

Everton v Swansea (Saturday, 15:00)

Ross Barkley scored the winning goal in each of last season's two league games against Swansea

What changed at Everton for them to go from winning one of their first seven Premier League fixtures to two in a row? One thing was that they stopped playing "Big Seven" rivals almost every week; the other was the return of Barkley, with the Toffees unbeaten in three matches across all competitions since he regained fitness. Next up are a team who Opta flag up as his favourite opponents.

Recommended Bet: Back Barkley to score @ 4.03/1

Leicester v West Brom (Saturday, 15:00)

Saido Berahino has scored in West Brom's last four Premier League matches

The Baggies' 21-year-old sensation will equal Peter Odemwingie's 2011 achievement if he makes it five in a row against Leicester, who have conceded an average of two goals per home clash since their promotion to the Premier League. Berahino's efforts against Burnley, Liverpool, Man United and Crystal Palace have made him the division's top-scoring Englishman by a three-strike margin.

Recommended Bet: Back Berahino to score @ 3.02/1

Man City v Man United (Sunday, 13:30, Sky Sports 1)

Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero have both scored four goals in five Premier League appearances against Man United

Dzeko and Aguero both have exceptional records against Man United, but the statistics indicate that the Argentine is more assured of a start, having made the XI for four of the five Premier League derbies that he was available for compared to Dzeko's one in seven. Aguero missed a great chance at West Ham last week, yet has notched nine times in seven Premier League starts this season.

Recommended Bet: Back Aguero to score @ 2.226/5

Aston Villa v Tottenham (Sunday, 16:00, Sky Sports 1)

Emmanuel Adebayor has netted four in four Premier League starts for Spurs against the Villans

There is a strong case for Harry Kane to be granted his first Premier League start since Mauricio Pochettino's appointment, having fired in seven cup goals already this term. However, the counter argument has two key points, one being that Adebayor has notched seven times against Aston Villa in the Premier League - with over half of those delivered for his current employers - and the other being that he was on the scoresheet last time out against Newcastle.

Recommended Bet: Back Adebayor to score @ 2.89/5
