  • Both teams have scored in seven of Chelsea’s last eight EPL home games and on Saturday they host West Ham.
  • Ten of the last 11 meetings between Newcastle and Crystal Palace have featured two or fewer goals.
  • Nottingham Forest (who face Bournemouth) have faced more shots (96), more shots on target (39) and have the highest expected goals against total (11.3) of any side in the Premier League this season.
  • Tottenham striker Harry Kane has scored 42 goals in Premier League London derbies – one more against Fulham will see him equal Thierry Henry for the most such goals in the competition’s history.
