BREAKDOWN OF TODAY’S PREMIER LEAGUE FIXTURES
Tottenham v Burnley
12pm LAST 5 PL MATCHES Tot ten ham: WDWDL Burnley: L WWW D Spurs have scored at least three in five of their last six at home and will be buoyed by last week’s 3-0 romp past Arsenal to ignite the race for fourth spot. Burnley could really do with improving a sorry record of only two away wins.
10 Spurs have won their last three home league games against Burnley by an aggregate score of 10-0.
Aston Villa v C Palace
2pm LAST 5 PL MATCHES A Villa: L WW DL C Palace: WW D LL Patrick Vieira’s Palace have turned water-tight with clean sheets in five of their last eight league games. On the flip side, it’s scoring goals at Villa Park that’s proved a problem — the Eagles have failed to find the net there on their last four trips.
6 Villa don’t like Sundays having lost six of their seven PL games played on this day.
Leeds v Brighton
2pm LAST 5 PL MATCHES Leeds: LLL DW Brighton: WW D LW Brighton are finishing with a flourish judging by their 4-0 humbling of Manchester United — and that may spell trouble for Jesse Marsch’s men. Leeds are known for their free-scoring but they haven’t found the net in eight of their last ten against Brighton.
100 With 97 yellows and 3 reds, Leeds are the first side to receive 100 cards in a PL campaign.
Watford v Leicester
2pm LAST 5 PL MATCHES Watford: D LLLL Leicester: W LL DD Roy Hodgson’s last (but one) hurrah gives him a final chance to win at Vicarage Road where he’s endured six losses and a 0-0 draw with Everton since he arrived. Leicester have kept just one clean sheet in their last 24 PL away games.
4 Leicester are hoping for a four-goal hat-trick having already beaten Watford 4-1 (FA Cup) and 4-2 (PL).
West Ham v Man City
2pm
LAST 5 PL MATCHES
West Ham: W LL DL
Man City: WWWWW
Two clubs who shared European semi-final heartache meet at the London Stadium, where the Hammers have scored in every league game this season.
When it comes to scoring, though, red-hot City have bagged 22 in their last five.
13
Kevin De Bruyne has been involved in 13 goals (8 goals, 5 assists) in his last eight in the league.
Wolves v Norwich
2pm LAST 5 PL MATCHES Wolves L D LLL Norwich: LLLLL Norwich are breaking unwanted records and are one goal away from the worst goal difference in a Premier League season — they are minus 56 as it stands. They’ll be relieved then that Bruno Lage’s men are limping to the line with no wins in five.
78 Norwich have never conceded more topflight goals than the 78 they’ve shipped this season.
Everton v Brentford
2pm LAST 5 PL MATCHES Everton: D WW LD Brentford: W L D WW Seven points out of a possible nine have proved timely for Frank Lampard as Everton seek to avoid the drop. They boast the most home wins of any side in the bottom half so hope the Goodison roar can frighten fast-finishing Brentford.
1 Brentford have lost just one of the eight eague matches Christian Eriksen has started.
