We have statistics surrounding every Premier League game this weekend, with good news for Liverpool & Arsenal ahead of the respective derbies.
With both the Merseyside and North London derbies on the horizon ahead of a busy Saturday in the Premier League, there's some positive reading for Liverpool and Arsenal fans, but the complete opposite for their Everton and Spurs counterparts.
Chelsea will also look to stay atop the summit when they take on Aston Villa in an historically goal-laden clash, while both Manchester City and unlikely pacesetters Southampton will also seek another win.
Elsewhere, West Ham will hope to overcome their Manchester United hoodoo, Sunderland and Newcastle look for their first wins, while there's a peculiar record in the West Brom vs. Burnley clash.
We take a look at the key Opta statistics ahead of the sixth round of games.
