VIDEO : Gameweek 3 Predicted Lineups ⚽️ https://youtu.be/YyUXQ26QGLo

Gameweek 3 , DAY 1 , Top Opta Stats :

25 - Since the start of last season, Danny Ings has scored 25 of Southampton’s 54 Premier League goals (46%). Indeed, no player has netted more PL goals in this period (J. Vardy also 25). Heroic.

3 - West Bromwich Albion have failed to win a Premier League game having led by 3+ goals for the third time, more than any other side in the competition. Collapse.

27 – Kai Havertz has been directly involved in 27 goals in just 28 appearances in all competitions in 2020 (18 goals, 9 assists). Wunderbar.

3 - Chelsea have made three errors leading directly to goals in the Premier League this season, equalling their total from 2019-20. Mishaps.

20 - Chelsea have failed to keep a clean sheet in 20 of their 21 Premier League away games under Frank Lampard. Lapse.

3 - Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the first player to score in each of Everton's first three Premier League games in a single campaign since Steven Naismith in 2014-15. Machine.

5 - The woodwork has stopped as many shots for Manchester United's opponents this season as David de Gea. Clunk.

3 - Leandro Trossard is the first player to hit the woodwork three times in a Premier League match since Cristiano Ronaldo vs Newcastle United in October 2006. Postman

16 - Bruno Fernandes has been involved in 16 goals in his 16 Premier League appearances (8 goals, 8 assists), with today's assist his first in the competition for a Marcus Rashford goal. Sweet.

5 - Since his Premier League debut in August 2017, Lewis Dunk has scored five own goals in the competition, at least two more than any other player. Misfortune.

6.9% - David De Gea has saved just two of the 29 penalties he's faced in the Premier League (6.9%); of the 30 keepers to have faced at least 25 in the competition, only Paul Robinson has saved a lower share (6.1% - 3/49). Weakness.

Gameweek 3 , DAY 2 , TOP Opta Stats :

0-4 - Wolves have suffered their heaviest Premier League defeat since March 2012 against Manchester United (5-0). Uncharacteristic.

36 - Since the start of the 2017-18 season, only Mohamed Salah (50) and Sergio Agüero (38) have scored more home league goals in England's top four tiers than West Ham's Jarrod Bowen (36). Impressive.

3 - Leicester City have won each of their opening three games to a top-flight season for the very first time in the club's history. Magic.

1 - For the first time in 686 games as a manager, Pep Guardiola has seen his side concede five goals. It is also the first time in 438 games at the Etihad Stadium that Manchester City have shipped five goals in any competition. Famous.

1 - Leicester City have become the first side in Premier League history to score three goals from the penalty spot in a single game. Fouled.

18 - Only Raheem Sterling (19) has won more penalties than Jamie Vardy (18) in Premier League history. Tumbling.

3 - Newcastle have scored with 100% of their shots on target in the Premier League this season (3/3), with Callum Wilson's penalty being their first attempt on target since MD1 v West Ham. Controversial.

96:20 - Since Opta began collecting exact Premier League goal times in 2006, Callum Wilson's penalty equaliser is the latest any side has scored with their first shot on target in a match in the competition. Grab.

22 - Lucas Moura has ended a run of 22 Premier League games without a goal, netting for the first time since December 2019 (v Wolves). Kickstart.

14 - Leeds United have won 14 of their last 17 league matches (D1 L2), keeping clean sheets in 11 of those wins. Marching.

3 - Patrick Bamford is the first player in Leeds United's history to score in his first three top-flight appearances for the club. Lethal.
