What the stats say: Mohamed Salah, Romelu Lukaku and Wolves the best bets?


Sky Bet have packaged together some of the in-form forces in football to take the legwork out of accumulator building.

Utilising an abundance of stats from the Premier League and EFL, in-form teams, star strikers and free-scoring sides have been bundled up this weekend's action.

Sky Bet have also run the numbers on which players are picking up the most cards and even which sides are conceding and receiving the most corners for those who love to back a stat.

Those selections include a 66/1 treble for Joe Allen (booked five times), Leroy Fer (booked four times) and Tiemoue Bakayoko (committed most fouls in the Premier League this season) all to be carded in 90 minutes.

The most popular accumulator of the lot has been top seven sides Tottenham, Wolves, Bristol City, Sheffield United, Peterborough and Luton all to win when they face bottom seven sides, West Brom Bolton, Hull, Birmingham, Rochdale and Crewe at 40/1.

The new feature has already been paying dividends, with top seven sides Burnley, Chelsea, Scunthorpe, Wolves & Wycombe beating bottom seven sides last weekend for a 25/1 winning acca.
