Opta Stats: Tottenham to leapfrog declining Swansea

Tottenham have lost just two of the 12 games started by Harry Kane across all competitions this term

The Opta stats hint at victories for Chelsea, Man United and Tottenham, and a bore draw for West Ham...

Chelsea v Hull (Saturday, 15:00)

Hull have scored only two goals in their last seven Premier League games

It wasn't that long ago that Hull were among the division's most reliable scorers, netting twice in five successive games as newcomers Mohamed Diame and Abel Hernandez sought to justify their fees. The Tigers' output has been dismal since though and it is tricky to see that changing when they meet a Chelsea side who have vanquished every domestic guest to Stamford Bridge this season, shutting out four of the latest five.

Recommended Bet: Back Chelsea to win to nil @ 1.738/11

Sunderland v West Ham (Saturday, 15:00)

Sunderland have been involved in five 0-0 draws in the Premier League this season

West Ham matches certainly haven't tended to be low scoring this term, but Sunderland appear to be ideal candidates to change that. Opta note that the Black Cats have shut Sam Allardyce's men out in four of their previous six collisions. They have achieved three clean sheets in four fixtures over the past month too, with Chelsea (home) and Liverpool (away) among their conquests, yet only scored one of their own in the process.

Recommended Bet: Back the 0-0 draw @ 11.5n/a

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

Liverpool's haul of 21 points is their fourth lowest in Premier League history at this stage of a season

A mere nine months have passed since Liverpool thrashed Man United 3-0 at Old Trafford, though it may as well have been years given how rapidly normality resumed. The 20-time English champions are seven points clear of the 18-timers, who have lost all three road trips to clubs above them in the table. They suffered six defeats in a row away to Man United before their springtime success there.

Recommended Bet: Back Man United to win @ 1.834/5

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

Tottenham have lost none of their six Premier League games against Swansea, winning the last five

Swansea are a point above Spurs in the table, but that owes more to the Lilywhites' stodgy start than the Welsh club being sensational. Indeed, the hosts have won just three in 12 having opened the campaign with three on the spin. Spurs' only reverses on their travels under Mauricio Pochettino were endured against Man City and Chelsea, and they triumphed in the two away dates in between those.

Recommended Bet: Back Tottenham to win @ 2.526/4
