The Toffees spent eight years in the Second Division before returning to the top flight, where they have stayed ever since. Arsenal and Everton are joined by Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham as having never suffered relegation from the Premier League since it started. There are only six teams in the Premier League right now who have been there since its inception and never suffered relegation.

A fourth successive win at home is the goal as Newcastle United take top billing on Friday night for the Premier League clash with Wolves.

Wood also features in a list of price boosts now live on the BoyleSports app, with the big number 20 enhanced to 7/2 from 3/1 to score in a Newcastle victory. Following his first goal for Newcastle against Southampton last month, Wood also went on to score five goals in four matches for New Zealand during the recent international break and the 5/1 available in the first goalscorer betting is proving popular with punters in the North East. That run is odds-on to continue at 10/11, another 1-1 draw is rated a 5/1 shot, but anyone confident enough of a Newcastle win with both teams scoring can now take advantage of a price boost to 9/2 from 4/1.

No player in the Premier League without a goal in that period has managed more shots on goal than Mac Allister (25) with seven of those coming in the 0-0 draw with Norwich. On another day he could have had a couple of goals to his name as two of those efforts were just a whisker away. His performances have reached another level over the past two months to such an extent he started his first match for Argentina in their World Cup qualifier with Venezuela. Eddie Howe has found the perfect role for Joe Willock in this system where he can utilise his clever runs into dangerous areas. The theory of him becoming unplayable after having seven days more to rest between games is one to follow. In other words, we lost the game but we won the xG battle. Three points lost over the weekend from the two bets advised but much to take heart from.

Liverpool travel to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday for a match against Manchester City that promises to have a huge say on the title race. Jurgen Klopp's team ...

The award has been given out eight times this season. Only one recipient, Pep Guardiola, has won his next game.

Antonio Conte, who was voted manager of the year in 2017 after he had won the Premier League with Chelsea in his first season at the club, was also given the sack a year after winning the award. Over the past 12 years, half of the managers who have won the award have left the club within a couple of years. His team were top of the table and he was basking in the glory of his 100% record when he won the award. Guardiola is an outlier in the sense that he is the only manager to have won his next game after receiving the award. Arsenal are seemingly locked in a private battle for fourth place with Tottenham and the north London clubs have a curious synchronicity when it comes to the manager of the month award. Is the Premier League’s manager of the month award cursed?

A supercomputer has predicted the final Premier League table and it makes for interesting reading for Tottenham and Arsenal fans.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have been predicted to finish sixth and West Ham in seventh. Tottenham will beat north London rivals Arsenal to fourth spot according to a supercomputer that has predicted the outcome of the final Premier League table. An SBK spokesperson said: “Tottenham are now odds-on to take fourth spot ahead of rivals Arsenal and Manchester United after their 5-1 thrashing of Newcastle. In the title race, Manchester City still lead the way, but the supercomputer is predicting a far tighter finish at the top than many expected.

Liverpool are the most recent winners on this list, having lifted February's EFL Cup. The anomaly of this is for those teams who have been promoted in second spot which is not classed as winning a trophy, whereas play-off winners are. As well as their current struggles, Everton are also in the midst of a long, long trophy drought.

Stoke – 1.20 Huddersfield take the unwanted honour of being the Premier League’s all-time worst side in terms of points per game. 16. Southampton – 1.20 But which clubs have fared best and worst in that time?

Everton are in a relegation battle in the Premier League. They also haven't won a trophy in 27 years - longer than any Premier League or Championship club.

So the players don’t need to listen or read or get involved in anything other than turning up tomorrow, getting ready for Saturday and trying to get the right results to keep us in this league.” 41.

And all that noise can inflate the draw to a backable price, which it has done here at 13/5 with Sky Bet. He looks to have improved his ability in getting into more dangerous areas of the pitch with a return of eight Premier League goals this season to show for it. That matches his best return in a Premier League season and he still has 10 games to go. No player in the Premier League without a goal in that period has managed more shots on goal than Mac Allister (25) with seven of those coming in the 0-0 draw with Norwich. On another day he could have had a couple of goals to his name as two of those efforts were just a whisker away. That is a fair sample size and one we should take huge confidence from when assessing the goal-line in this fixture. Even without factoring in the Antonio angle, the case for a home win is strong based on Brentford's performance metrics at their own ground this season. He'll be tested up against Raphinha in this one and I like his price of picking up a card. What is in their favour here is that one goal probably will be enough to beat Brighton, who have failed to score in six of their last seven Premier League matches. His performances have reached another level over the past two months to such an extent he started his first match for Argentina in their World Cup qualifier with Venezuela. Eddie Howe has only lost one of his 10 Premier League home matches with that solitary defeat coming at the hands of Manchester City. The positive atmosphere at St James' Park and around the club in general is certainly creating a tough environment for visiting teams. He'll be tasked with keeping a lid on Sancho and that looks a battle the United winger can win. The bet that stands out here is his first goalscorer price of 9/1 with Sky Bet.

A massive weekend of Premier League action awaits, with effects for both ends of the table, and we can provide you with match week 32 fixtures.

All eyes will be on Manchester City-Liverpool this weekend and RotoWire's Adam Zdroik is leaning toward the home side in what could be a game that lives up ...

While Liverpool are on a nice run, their best wins from that bunch are maybe Arsenal and Inter Milan. They've had a fairly easy schedule the last couple months and they're also traveling more this week with a game in Benfica compared to Man City staying at home. The Reds are in better form, winning 17 of their last 18 matches with the lone loss being home against Inter Milan in a match they didn't need to win. Watford have a couple more favorable home matches, but this is the easiest remaining game for Leeds, which means they need points from it. Those are crazy odds for a team that is third in the league in terms of corners taken. Remove the losses against the best three teams in the league and they've won 10 of their last 12 matches at home. If Chelsea go ahead early, Southampton could have 10-plus corners and you can get Southampton +950 in the Race to 9 corners.

Ahead of this Sunday's showdown, we've taken a look at the incredible numbers behind Manchester City and Liverpool's recent Premier League dominance…

Ahead of Sunday’s showdown, Guardiola and Klopp’s sides are the only two in the Premier League to concede fewer goals than they have played matches over the past five years. City and Liverpool are also the frontrunners in this respect, conceding 135 and 155 goals in 182 matches since the beginning of the 2017/18 campaign. Once again, the two sides lead the way in terms of attacking output, both registering over 400 goals in the past five Premier League seasons. City and Liverpool are also the only two sides to average over two points per game in that time (2.41 for City, 2.26 for Liverpool) with Manchester United and Chelsea their nearest rivals at a rate of 1.86 and 1.85. Given the two sides have won each of the last four Premier League titles and are once again in a tussle for this season’s title, it comes as no surprise to learn that they have both earned more points than any other team in the English top flight across the past five years. With just one point separating the two teams at the Premier League summit, the result of this weekend's clash could prove vital in the outcome of this season's race for the title.

German newspaper Der Spiegel has published claims that it knows the details of a Premier League investigation into Manchester City.

A UEFA investigation into alleged FFP irregularities was prompted by a number of claims by Der Spiegel, which drew on documents said to have been obtained by whistleblowers Football Leaks, in 2018. Der Spiegel claims to have obtained information that the Premier League's investigation is looking at three areas, the first being that "underage players were allegedly pressured to sign contracts with Manchester City through monetary payments, in violation of the rules".

Looking ahead to what promises to be the most important game of the 2021/2022 Premier League season, what is the most important moment for each PL club.

having lost two of their last three the Hammers needed a win and this result puts pressure on their London rivals, Manchester United and Wolves to keep picking up points for the chance to play in Europe next season. They overtook Manchester United and Wolves to get up to sixth in the Premier League and this result was key to show their resolves after losing to rivals Tottenham, 3-1. They were playing an Everton side who are fighting for their place in the Premier League and it promised to be a tough game. The Hammers needed to capitalise on dropped points by Manchester United and maintain their gap to Wolves in the race for Europe. Tottenham also had to make the most of Chelsea losing to Brentford and Manchester United drawing with Leicester. New manager, Eddie Howe had a lot to prove after a relegation with Bournemouth in the 2019/2020 season. The takeover was completed in the October international break, at which time Newcastle sat 19th with only three points from seven. Liverpool played the lunchtime match versus Watford and scrapped through with goals from Jota and a late Fabinho penalty to put Liverpool top for the first time since December. Manchester City were 14 points clear (had played two more games than Liverpool) in January and when their rivals Liverpool and Chelsea drew 2-2, people were calling it the end of the title race. Arsenal had started the match very well but Liverpool were clinical scoring two out of their three shots on target and thus closed the gap to one point with nine games to go. The addition of Joe Gelhardt to Leeds United through the academy has been a key reason for Leeds floating above the relegation zone rather than sinking. The ex-Rangers manager, Gerrard, won his first two matches (2-0 vs Brighton and 2-1 vs Crystal Palace) to push the Villains up to 11th.

DAZN DAZN DAZN DAZN Two such teams, last-place Norwich and 18th-place Burnley, face off with all still left to play for. Manchester City hold a one point advantage over second-place Liverpool ahead of their massive meeting on Sunday. If there's a winner, that team could well ride the momentum to the title.

A stress test for John Stones, a big opportunity for Burnley and a chance for Arsenal to bounce back.

A ninth-place finish might not be too exciting for most clubs but for Palace it would show the rapid growth they have made under Vieira. Victory over the team currently in 10th would keep them on track with the finish line in sight. Crystal Palace have lost twice in their last 13 games in all competitions, with only Liverpool and Chelsea defeating them since mid-January. The run has taken them to ninth in the Premier League and an FA Cup semi-final. For all the rare and understandable euphoria that has accompanied West Ham’s progress in Europe, they’ve rarely been at their best in the league since the turn of the year. A second consecutive victory could take Burnley out of the relegation zone, helping build momentum for a season-defining spell with home games against Southampton and Wolves coming before a trip to relegation rivals Watford. Failure t take all three points at Carrow Road would be a blow to a side desperate to secure a sixth consecutive season in the top flight. Burnley are likely to end the season with their lowest points total since promotion in 2016 but they have shown before that they know how to survive. Watford’s last meeting with Leeds took place so long ago that the Hornets were still being managed by Xisco Muñoz. Six months and three sackings later, the men in the technical area will be Roy Hodgson and Jesse Marsch. Hodgson has been the manager at more Premier League clubs (six) than Marsch has Premier League matches (five), but he would surely be happy to swap places with him now. Southampton, winless in five, appear to have entered a familiar end-of-season drift, so could be just the opponents Chelsea need but with the best free-kick taker in the country, James Ward-Prowse, in fine fettle there are no grounds for complacency. They probably have to win seven of their final eight fixtures to stay in contention for the top four, and they’re in no sort of form. Chelsea suddenly look easy to score against and, given that Tuchel appears to have given up hope of turning the Madrid tie around, hanging on to a top-four place is now a priority, and is by no means a given. All those defeats have come on the road and in the evening, so a 3pm kick-off at home should be just what the doctor ordered. The shake-out between fourth and eighth places in the table may turn out to be the most absorbing and tense of all the top flight’s subplots this season, and Wolves’ tenacity in staying in the hunt for the European slots perhaps deserves more credit than it has received – particularly as they are currently without Rúben Neves and Raúl Jiménez. Bruno Lage has stressed the importance of teamwork and even a bit of tough love in getting the best out of his side – he said this week that his rant at the club’s youngsters after March’s defeat by Crystal Palace had helped them “wake up” – and the derby win over Aston Villa saw an encouraging demonstration of their resolve. Liverpool will be the polar opposite on Sunday and Stones, alongside Aymeric Laporte, will need to maintain concentration against the most prolific attack in the Premier League, who have seven more goals than City this season.

Liverpool haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 11 Premier League away games against Man City, since a 0-0 draw in February 2010. The Hornets have only lost nine consecutive home league games once before, between December 1971 and March 1972. Tottenham have won their last six Premier League away games against Aston Villa. Only against the Villans themselves have they had a longer winning away run in their league history (seven between 1950 and 1956).

The allegations over sponsorship agreements that were inflated above market value in order for the club to show higher income and meet financial fair requirements are not new. Whether they have been stretched or broken is still to be formally determined but Man City are unlikely to be able to count on much support from their fellow Premier League clubs. To add insult to injury for UEFA, the panel also cut the club’s fine by two-thirds from 30 million to €10 million though in doing so. The Premier League originally launched an investigation in December 2018 and announced it was investigating in March 2019.
