Below is a goal differential form table, showing results for each team over the last six gameweeks. While wins and losses are valuable in some fantasy formats, goals and goals allowed are fairly important across all sites.
And so, while Arsenal may be on top of the Premier League for the season, and even in total points (15) over their last six matches, rivals Tottenham top the goal differential form table, scoring 10 goals while allowing just five. That being said, it could certainly change in Gameweek 21, as they host second-place Leicester City, who sit fourth on the goal-differential form chart.
Home team listed first in scores.

Looking Ahead
With that knowledge in tow, here are the betting lines for the upcoming gameweek (sorted by home team win odds):
QUICK LINKS
| Home (win odds) | (draw odds) | Away (win odds) |
| Chelsea (4/11) | 7/2 | West Brom (17/2) |
| Man City (1/2) | 16/5 | Everton (11/2) |
| Swansea (8/11) | 5/2 | Sunderland (4/1) |
| Tottenham (3/4) | 13/5 | Leicester City (15/4) |
| Southampton (17/20) | 12/5 | Watford (10/3) |
| Stoke (17/20) | 12/5 | Norwich (10/3) |
| Bournemouth (11/10) | 12/5 | West Ham (5/2) |
| Liverpool (15/8) | 12/5 | Arsenal (7/5) |
| Aston Villa (2/1) | 11/5 | Crystal Palace (7/5) |
| Newcastle (10/3) | 5/2 | Man Utd (17/20) |
While Swansea being favored at home over Sunderland isn't overly surprising, it's still a bit jarring to see a side that's sitting 17th in the table as such a heavy favorite.
Sunderland sit last in the goal differential form table, though their six goals scored outrank eight other teams over the last six gameweeks.
And not only are they highly favored, Swansea have the second-highest clean sheet odds:
| Club | Clean Sheet Odds | Club | Clean Sheet Odds |
| Chelsea | 4/6 | Arsenal | 23/10 |
| Swansea City | 11/10 | Liverpool | 11/4 |
| Manchester United | 13/10 | West Ham | 3/1 |
| Stoke City | 11/8 | Watford | 16/5 |
| Southampton | 7/5 | Norwich City | 16/5 |
| Manchester City | 6/4 | Newcastle | 7/2 |
| Tottenham | 6/4 | Sunderland | 7/2 |
| Bournemouth | 17/10 | Leicester City | 9/2 |
| Crystal Palace | 7/4 | West Brom | 11/2 |
| Aston Villa | 9/4 | Everton | 7/1 |
In fairness, they've posted clean sheets in three of their last four league matches, but they've also scored the fewest goals in the Premier League over the last six games, which puts Sunderland in the conversation for a clean sheet. Oh, except they're Sunderland, who have allowed the most goals (three more than the next highest clubs) over the last six matches. That may be just what Swansea need to break out of their offensive funk.
