Matchweek 10 Previews

Burnley v. Chelsea

What a run Frank Lampard and his new-look Chelsea are on. They enter Saturday’s game at Burnley on a 6-game winning streak across all competitions, and for the first time this season, enter a matchweek inside the top-4. The Blues have never lost at Turf Moor in the Premier League, and beat Burnley 4-0 in this fixture last season.

 

Newcastle v. Wolves

Despite a decent performance, Newcastle lost 1-0 last week at Chelsea, a result that saw them drop back down into the relegation zone. Now, Steve Bruce’s men will return home to face Wolves, who haven’t lost in the Premier League since mid-September.

 

Liverpool v. Tottenham

Despite their winning streak coming to an end last weekend, 1st-place Liverpool still have not lost a Premier League match since January. On Sunday they’ll host Tottenham, who have won just 2 of their last 8 league games. This is a rematch of last season’s Champions League Final, which Liverpool won. That was just part of Liverpool’s recent dominance of Spurs – they beat the north Londoners on all 3 meetings in all competitions last season, and haven’t lost to them at Anfield since 2011.

 

Arsenal v. Crystal Palace

London rivals Arsenal and Crystal Palace meet at the Emirates on Sunday. Arsenal are coming off an extremely disappointing loss at Sheffield United on Monday, a result which means they’re now off to their worst start through 9 matches since 2014-15. Meanwhile, despite a loss to Manchester City last time out, Crystal Palace have enjoyed a fine start to the season – they enter the weekend in 6th. Crystal Palace were unbeaten in their 2 meetings with Arsenal last season, and beat the Gunners at the Emirates in April.

 

Norwich City v. Manchester United

While they did manage a point against archrivals Liverpool, things still haven’t completely turned around for Manchester United. They’ve won just once in their last 8 Premier League games, and sit just 2 points above the relegation zone. Norwich City make up part of that bottom-3, mainly due to conceding a joint-Premier League high 21 goals this season.
