+260<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everton maintained their charge into the top-half of the table last weekend as they secured a solid 1-1 draw against Leeds at home, with the Toffees now suffering just one loss in Premier League action since late December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brighton, meanwhile, continued their downward trajectory in the table with a 2-1 loss on the road against Fulham, with the Seagulls worryingly now winning just one Premier League game since late November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everton have also owned a recent hoo-doo over Brighton in this venue down on the south coast, with the Seagulls failing to beat their visitors across any of their last five meetings at the Amex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge concern for Brighton across the last few weeks has been their offense, with the Seagulls ranking bottom-half in the league in goals scored since December 1st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brighton remain one of only three teams in the league this season also yet to score a single counter-attacking goal, with their xG per shot ratio also ranking bottom-half in the league at home this season as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Away from home, Everton have kept three straight clean sheets, and have allowed 2+ goals to an opponent just once across their last seven road games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe they\u2019ll stretch that to one in eight in Brighton on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Premier League Predictions: Brighton Team Total Under 1.5 (-110)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aston Villa vs Brentford | February 1 | 9:00 AM ET<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aston Villa -105 | <strong><strong>Brentford +280<\/strong><\/strong> | Draw +250<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two teams locked in midtable will look to reignite their seasons on Saturday as Brighton&nbsp;make the short trip north to take on Fulham in the English capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fulham have been in the better form of the two sides recently, winning four of their last seven games overall, but do come off a loss to&nbsp;Leeds last weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brighton, meanwhile, have slowly&nbsp;been turning a corner&nbsp;themselves, coming off a fairly miserable December that saw them win&nbsp;no games across the calendar month,&nbsp;but&nbsp;since the start of January, the Seagulls have won two of their four games so far&nbsp;remaining unbeaten,&nbsp;scoring in every game also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite Fulham\u2019s impressive run in the league since the start of December, there have been some worrying signs for the Cottagers,&nbsp;namely the fact&nbsp;that Fulham have generated fewer than five corners in each of their last seven games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cottagers&nbsp;have also&nbsp;generated just 3.6&nbsp;shots on target per game&nbsp;at home this season&nbsp;as well, the league\u2019s 4th&nbsp;lowest figure&nbsp;overall, so&nbsp;their underlying stats certainly don\u2019t match&nbsp;the success they\u2019ve had in front of goal this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re banking&nbsp;on those stats to catch up to them here,&nbsp;and that Fulham won\u2019t&nbsp;be able to score two goals against a Brighton side that owns the joint-4th&nbsp;best defensive record in the league since November 1st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Premier League Predictions: Fulham Team Total&nbsp;Under 1.5 (-157)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunderland vs Burnley | February 2 | 3:00 PM ET<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunderland -145 | <strong>Burnley +410<\/strong> | Draw +250<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two of this season\u2019s newly-promoted sides clash in the main game on Monday night as 19th&nbsp;placed Burnley make their way due east to take on 11th&nbsp;placed Sunderland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunderland enjoyed a rocket start to their Premier League campaign this season, sitting in joint-3rd&nbsp;spot in the league in total points generated heading into the first week of November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then though it\u2019s been largely downhill for the Black Cats as they\u2019ve won just three games in the Premier League since November 1st, as well as scoring the 3rd-fewest goals in the league across that timeframe also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another team who joins them on the 3rd-fewest goals scored list since November 1st&nbsp;(tied at just 13 goals each), is this Burnley side, with both sides ranking bottom-three in offensive xG across that timeframe also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No team in the league owns a lower xG per shot ratio than Burnley does this season, with no team having less chances inside their opponents 6-yard box than the Clarets either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this play though, we\u2019re instead going to focus on the first-half where Sunderland have scored a league-low 7 goals inside the opening 45 minutes of games this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re expecting an incredibly low-scoring game as a result here on Monday night between Burnley and Sunderland in a game goals may come at a premium in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Premier League Prediction: 1H Under 1 (-135)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">$15 FREE for Premium <i>EXPERT<\/i> EPL PICKS
