Which team is enjoying a 12-game unbeaten streak? Which side ended a seven-game winless run on Boxing Day? Who has the most goals, assists, and clean sheets? We answer those questions and more below.
Basic EPL Betting Trends

A gap is starting to emerge between the bottom two – Sheffield United and Burnley – and the clubs towards the lower reaches of the table. That said, the Tricky Trees gave themselves a big boost with an impressive victory over Newcastle.
