With the Premier League football coming thick and fast, there’s barely enough time to keep up with all the games, so why not have a bunch of interesting stats to go with the Premier League match day 17 fixtures.
Included below are some head-to-head records and individual teams stats from the 2020-21 season for each fixture for match day 17, and some of these stats could be relevant to this weekend’s clashes.
For example, one team hasn’t won at the ground they are visiting this weekend since 1951, and one team has a 100 per cent record from their five matches against London clubs this season. Plus there are a whole bunch of head-to-head stats about January clashes.
Relevant to the result this weekend or not, here’s hoping they at least interesting.
Everton versus West Ham

Man United have an outstanding recent record against Aston Villa at home. Aston Villa’s last win at Old Trafford was in 2009, six losses and one draw ago.
