Premier League fixtures this weekend see Brighton face Brentford, Crystal Palace meet Liverpool, Ipswich play Bournemouth, Sunderland take on Chelsea and Manchester United host Aston Villa. All matches can be watched live on Sky Sports.

Can beating Manchester City away at the Etihad create an unexpected problem in the next match? In recent years, apart from Arsenal and Liverpool, five teams that won at the Etihad failed to win their following match, which is worth noting. Brighton now have to break that pattern, and they face a Brentford side that is very consistent in front of goal.

Keith Andrews' team is the only side to have scored in each of their nine Premier League matches this season. In those matches, Brentford have scored 16 goals, and counting the summer break, they have found the net in 11 consecutive league matches. The emotional impact of Brighton's win at the Etihad and the fatigue from European matches may still be affecting them, which could make Brentford's attack even more dangerous.

Crystal Palace have conceded 21 goals in nine Premier League matches this season. At this stage, that is the most goals the club has conceded in a top-flight season. Pierre Sage has inherited a defensive problem that does not look easy to solve. Mac Allister's last Premier League goal came against West Ham on 28 February. The player has scored four goals in cup matches and has taken 12 shots in his last four matches. These figures suggest that a goal could be close for him at Liverpool.

Evanilson has received 29 yellow cards from opponents over his Premier League career. That works out to one yellow card every 200 minutes.
