Leeds v Man United - Cunha shot spike

Sunday 12:30Live on TNT Sports 1

The visitors last kept a clean sheet on the road all the way back in March of last year and with Leeds unbeaten in six they should be fancied to further pull away from the drop-zone, especially with Dominic Calvert-Lewin among the goals. Daniel Farke's men are a hefty 13/8 to secure a sixth victory of their campaign here.

Yet, as much as backing Calvert-Lewin to extend on his recent goal-glut tempts, it is Matheus Cunha who grabs the attention here, the Brazilian spiking with shots undertaken this past month.

From his debut in August to the end of November, the 26-year-old registered 2.5 efforts per 90 for the Red Devils. From December on, that average has exactly doubled.

Indeed, only Erling Haaland has committed to more shots in 2025/26 and Cunha isn't shy in testing keepers away from Old Trafford. He registered six at Villa Park and eight at Molineux, both just prior to Christmas.

Everton v Brentford - Igor to run foul

Sunday 15:00Live on Sky Sports Golf

The Bees have lost six of their eight away fixtures, conceding at least two in each of them, but they face a less stringent test on Merseyside. Everton's average of 3.1 shots on target per 90 this term is their lowest for 28 years.

With only Wolves and Sunderland scoring fewer goals on their travels this season than Keith Andrews' men a low-scoring affair therefore is the way to go. Under 1.5 goals offers up 21/10

As for individuals, misdemeanours should be prioritised, especially with Kevin Schade and Igor Thiago racking up 59 fouls between them to date. The latter's 1.85 per 90 average is the second highest of any attacking player in the top-flight.

Fulham v Liverpool - Strikers to take centre stage

Sunday 15:00Live on Sky Sports Main Event

Hugo Ekitiké and Raúl Jiménez took on four shots apiece in their respective New Year's Day commitments, and though neither striker scored they are each posting decent numbers of late. Ekitiké has bagged five in five, a tally that would have been more if not for a bizarre close-range miss vs Leeds.

Jiménez has converted two in three for the Cottagers who are flying at the minute.

One or both of these frontmen should feature strongly in a game that promises plenty of goals, the last four meetings producing 20 all told. The Liverpool striker to score anytime is well-priced at 6/5 but Jiménez first goalscorer cannot be ignored given the Mexican's sustained habit of notching early. Twelve of his last 16 top-flight goals have opened the scoring in fixtures.

Newcastle v Crystal Palace - Wissa to return with a bang

Sunday 15:00Live on Sky Sports Premier League

Palace's shot-count has risen over the festive period, averaging 12.4 per 90 in their last five outings compared to 9.4 in their five games prior.This surprises because by general consensus the Eagles are tired at present, wearied by over-achievement and European commitments. Which they are. Every other metric tells us this, not least recent results that see them winless in four.

Against Fulham on Thursday evening they were wrung out in the closing stages, conceding late on.

This doesn't bode well for Sunday's trip to the North-East where Newcastle rarely fail to stress-test opponents for all that they've been inconsistent elsewhere.It took Yoane Wissa just seven minutes to convert in his long-awaited full league debut for the Magpies vs Burnley on Tuesday and the striker is again tipped to come good against a back-line that no longer looks capable of keeping clean sheets.

Wissa scored and assisted when his former side Brentford hosted the Eagles last term.

Tottenham v Sunderland - Trai too hard

Sunday 15:00

The Black Cats impressively contained Manchester City on New Year's Day, to secure a third draw on the bounce, and their eighth of the season.Their tigerish performance was epitomised by full-back Trai Hume whose endless endeavour saw him venture forward twice-over to nearly score. The Northern Irishman is a generous 4/1 to repeat that feat in North London by taking on 2+ shots.

Regrettably, his enthusiasm also resulted in a trio of fouls - pertinently, for the second game running - and he can consider himself fortunate not to be booked by ref Jarrod Gillet who showed leniency throughout. He was however cautioned vs Leeds three days before.

Stuart Atwell won't be so forgiving this time out, the official dishing out 58 yellow cards to this point. Only Anthony Taylor can top that.

Man City v Chelsea - Haaland brace backed

Sunday 17:30Live on Sky Sports Main Event

Enzo Maresca's departure has put the cat among pigeons for this one but City are still strongly fancied to prevail.

For one thing, the hosts last lost to Chelsea in the 2021 Champions League final, winning nine of the subsequent 11 meetings, eight of them to nil.

For another, Pep Guardiola's men have picked up maximum points across their last eight home fixtures in the Premier League, scoring exactly three times in their last five.

Early goals have also been a feature of their revival after last season's slump and naturally enough Erling Haaland has played a big part in this respect, notching inside 20 minutes on seven occasions across all comps.

The Striking Viking has additionally struck multiple times in 37% of his league outings this term, a phenomenal return that could be even further improved come Sunday evening.
