2. Bournemouth’s resurgence under Iraola

Since November 2023, Bournemouth have earned 66 Premier League points, the sixth-highest total during that period. This improvement followed a poor start under Andoni Iraola, where the Cherries collected just six points from their first 10 league games (W1-D3-L6).

5. West Ham’s strong Monday form

West Ham have won nine of their last 10 Monday Premier League matches. Their only loss in that span was a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on Boxing Day 2022.
