BetBright STATZONE: Premier League (21st May 2017)

Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions!

We already know that Chelsea are champions and that Hull, Boro and Sunderland are down, so as we enter the final weekend in the Premier League all that’s really left to play for are the ‘top four’ Champions League places as Man City, Liverpool & Arsenal fight it out for the remaining two places.

All three  sides face winnable-looking games so we could be in for a fascinating finale. Arsenal host Everton and with the Gunners unbeaten in their last 20 home games vs Everton we can expect a win for the Londoners. Liverpool welcome the already relegated Boro to Anfield in what looks an easy last game for the Merseysiders – they are unbeaten in their last 26 at home to Boro.

While Man City are the only one playing away as they travel south to face Watford – a side City have not lost to in their last 10!

As always here at StatZone we’ve got all the games covered from a head-to-head angle, plus our best betting option on each match based on the stats – So, let’s get started!
