Man City have scored in both halves in six of their last seven meetings with Burnley.
The Citizens have beaten Burnley seven times in a row, scoring 28 times in the process.
Man City have notched three or more goals against Burnley in six of their last seven encounters with the Clarets.

Betting Tip: Manchester City to score in both halves @5/6

Fulham vs Leicester City

Fulham produced one of their best performances since their promotion in the reverse fixture between the Cottagers and Leicester back in November, and Scott Parker’s dogged side could be awkward opponents for the Foxes again on Wednesday.

Leeds United vs Everton

Just two players were booked when Aston Villa and West Ham last met in November.
Only two clubs have collected fewer cards than West Ham in the league this season.
Only four clubs have gathered fewer cards at home in the Premier League than Aston Villa so far this term.

A goal has been scored in the final 15 minutes in five of the last seven meetings between Liverpool and Brighton.
Pascal Gross scored an injury time spot kick when the teams last met in November.
Liverpool (10) and Brighton (6) have notched 16 goals between them in the final 15 minutes of their Premier League fixtures in 2020/21 so far.
