What Saturday has in store

Aleksandar Mitrovic could break this Peter Odemwingie’s record.

Odemwingie was the last player to score in five consecutive Premier League appearances for a newly promoted team when he did for West Brom in 2011.

Mitrovic has scored in the last four in a row - a goal today will see him equal the record.
