Haaland has scored just twice over the last six Gameweeks but has had his game time managed over that period, playing just 405 of a possible 540 minutes. Nevertheless, the Norwegian international is still ranked fifth among forwards for 'big chances' (five), with only Tolu and Raúl (six each), Ekitiké (eight) and João Pedro (12) faring better.
The Hammers are Haaland's favourite opponent. He has scored 11 goals against them in seven matches, more than he has against any other Premier League side. He also remains the league's top scorer in away games with nine goals.
Man City have scored 23 goals on their travels; only Man Utd (24), Arsenal (26) and Chelsea (30) have fared better away from home. The Cityzens are ranked sixth for shots (178) and seventh for xG (23.06) on their travels.
Their hosts, West Ham, have conceded 27 goals at home; only Wolves (31) have fared worse. The Hammers rank 18th for shots conceded (183) and 15th for Expected Goals Conceded (xGC) (22.35) at home.
According to our Predicted Points & Stats tool, Haaland is projected to score 5.9 points this Gameweek.
Ekitiké has found the back of the net seven times at Anfield this season, only Thiago (nine) and Haaland (13) have fared better on home turf.
The French international is ranked second for shots (41) and fourth for xG (7.40) in home games which is impressive considering that the trio ahead of him - Mateta (7.90), Thiago (10.45) and Haaland (13.06) have all benefited from penalty duties.
As the below image from our Player Heatmaps feature shows, he has averaged 5.6 FPL points per game at Anfield this season.
Liverpool have scored 48 goals in home games (fifth), the Merseyside outfit are ranked second for shots (458) and fourth for xG (58.08) on their own patch.
Their visitors, Spurs, have conceded 21 goals in away games (ninth) and have kept five clean sheets. The North London side are ranked 10th for shots conceded (191) and seventh for xGC (22.55) on their travels.
According to our Predicted Points & Stats tool, Ekitiké is projected to score 5.9 points this Gameweek.
Palmer looks back to full fitness for Chelsea and has scored five goals over the last six Gameweeks, which is more than any other midfielder. As shown in the image below from our Opta Stats Sandbox, the England international is ranked top for shots (18), 'big chances' (seven) and xG (5.14) over that period amongst midfielders.
Chelsea have scored 52 goals in home matches; only Arsenal and Man City (59 each) have been more prolific. The Blues are ranked third for 'big chances' (88) and first for xG (59.15) in home games.
Their visitors, Newcastle, have conceded 19 goals in away games (sixth) and have kept four clean sheets. The Magpies are ranked third for both shots conceded (163) and xGC (20.54) in away games.
