Today’s PREMIER ESSENTIAL

Today’s games – 3pm

Burnley v Bournemouth HIGHLIGHTS: BBC1, 10.30pm

SIMON FRANCIS has hailed Burnley as the team the lesser lights need to emulate. Bournemouth skipper Francis (right) said: ‘Burnley have been the benchmark for those teams outside the top six to go get into the Europa League.’ Burnley boss Sean Dyche has agreed to give Scott Arfield and Dean Marney farewell appearances. KEY STAT Sean Dyche’s side have won a league low 48 per cent of their points at home (26/54) — last season they led the league in home points percentage with 82.5 (33/40).

Crystal Palace v West Brom HIGHLIGHTS: BBC1, 10.30pm

DARREN MOORE, a veteran of five games as a manager, can’t wait to pit his wits against Roy Hodgson, who has overseen more than 1,000, and says he can learn a lot from the ex-England boss. ‘He’s definitely somebody I look up to and I’ve got great admiration for him,’ said Moore (above), whose future at The Hawthorns will be decided this week.

KEY STAT

Darren Moore has won more points for West Brom in his five matches in charge (11) than Alan Pardew did in 18 (8) and Tony Pulis in 12 (10).

Huddersfield v Arsenal HIGHLIGHTS: BBC1, 10.30pm

CHRIS LOWE insists he couldn’t care less about today’s visit of Arsenal after what Huddersfield have been through to secure their top-flight status. Heroic draws at Manchester City and Chelsea have kept Huddersfield up and the defender (right) said: ‘I don’t care about the game. It doesn’t matter for both teams, so let’s just celebrate.’

KEY STAT

The Gunners have lost 11 away games, their joint worst record in the Premier League. They haven’t lost 12 away games in a season in the top flight since 1984-85.

Liverpool v Brighton LIVE ON HIGHLIGHTS: BBC1, 10.30pm

LEWIS DUNK has one last chance to prove he’s worth a spot in England’s World Cup squad and team-mate Glenn Murray can’t believe the defender is still uncapped. Dunk (right) has the job of helping to stifle Mo Salah and Liverpool’s red-hot attack, and striker Murray said: ‘He is probably the best centre half I have ever played with.’

KEY STAT

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 21 home games against promoted sides with 16 wins and five draws, since a 2-1 loss to Blackpool in 2011.

Man United v Watford HIGHLIGHTS: BBC1, 10.30pm

CHRISTIAN KABASELE believes United’s FA Cup distraction gives Watford an outstanding chance of stunning Old Trafford. Watford head for United seven days before Jose Mourinho’s men take on Chelsea in the final at Wembley. Kabasele (right) said: ‘Maybe they will not go 100 per cent to keep something back for the final. Either way we have to be positive.’

KEY STAT

United have won more last-day Premier League matches (17) than any other club, with just two defeats — against Spurs in 2001 and West Ham in 2007.
