On the flip side, Everton, Luton, Burnley, and Sheff Utd are still on zero points after Matchweek 3. It is also worth noting that Everton has failed to score a single goal this season, conceding six across defeats to Fulham, Villa and Wolves.
Interestingly, only two teams – Chelsea and Man Utd – triumphed on home soil in Matchweek 3. 60% of the clashes saw the away side come out on top, with Tottenham, Wolves, West Ham, Man City, Aston Villa and Liverpool all winning on the road.
Premier League Betting Trends – Goals

Averaging three goals per match, Brighton is the highest-scoring team in the Premier League this season. The Seagulls kicked off their campaign with 4-1 victories over Luton and Wolves before suffering a 3-1 defeat to West Ham in Matchweek 3.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, Everton has failed to find the back of the net in three outings, while Luton and Burnley have scored just once in two matches.
