Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this weekend, along with Chris Sutton at the BBC:

STAT ATTACK:

Arsenal v Coventry – 8pm, Sky Sports

Did you know…

• Arsenal received just 17 Yellow Cards at home in the Premier League last season, while the Sky Blues picked up 38 on the road in the Championship

With tonight’s match pitting the defending champions at home against the newly promoted visitors, Coventry for the Most Cards is today’s Stat Attack selection. Available at 7/10 (1.7) with VirginBet.
