BT have released a 'Script' based on lots of data on how they think the Premier League will unravel this year:
http://btsport.com/thescript
Some interesting data-driven stuff in there. Lots of stuff, final positions, goalscorers, assists, derbies, golden gloves, two pages on every Prem team and more.
Some of it may be a load of tosh in your opinion though.
Summary for the Brighton stuff:

Summary for the Brighton stuff:
- Table at Christmas 19th: W3, D3, L11, GF13, GA30, GD-17, PTS 15 (2 from safety)
- Final position 16th: W12, D4, L22, GF31, GA51, GD-20, PTS 40 (3 from safety)
- Clean sheets: 10 (Joint 8th, with Spurs)
- Only 5 teams occupy first place this season: Brighton, Chelsea, Liverpool and the two Manchesters
- Brighton the only team to spend a gameweek in both first and last place over the 2019/20 season. We spend more gameweeks (1) at the top of the table than Arsenal and Spurs (0) all season.
- Palace Derbies: 4-1 Palace away and 0-1 loss at home, first league double for Palace over Brighton since 1932.
- 0-4 win against Watford first day, we go top. Narrow wins vs West Ham and Southampton (both 1-0) and we are top on GW3 with six goals and non conceded.
- Fall 'off a cliff' from GW4-17. Man City smash us, back to back draws with Burnley and Newcastle. 'The steepest slide of any team all season sets in' (Typical Brighton!) "14 games without a win. Seven defeats on the spin. Spurs and Man Utd fill their boots. So do Crystal Palace' We score just 5 and concede 30.
- Back from the Brink? GW18-23. 119-day wait for a win after we smash Sheffield United. Climbing off the table just in time for Christmas. But back to the bottom after Spurs beat us 5 days later.
- By mid-January "The lack of goals within the side is painfully obvious. A 36 yo Murray remains the biggest threat'. Only Burnley (31) score fewer goals than Brighton (33) in 19/20.
- Just about enough GW 24-38. 4 wins in a row against Bournemouth, West Ham, Watford and Sheffield United send us 8 points clear of the drop. Followed by a defeat at Palace then a run of 4 defeats leaves the cushion at 2 points. A result against Man United and their 'Amex Curse' followed by wins of Norwich and Newcastle give us the 40 point mark.
- The run in, form GW17-38
- Murray: Goals 6, assists 8
- Trossard: Goals 6, assists 8
- Montoya, Goals 2, assists 7
