Matchweek 28 Previews

Leicester City v. Brighton

This will be Leicester City’s first match since firing manager Claude Puel on Sunday. The Foxes haven’t won since New Year’s Day and have lost their last four at home. Brighton are also on a terrible run of form – the Seagulls are winless in their last 6 Premier League matches and worryingly sit just 2 places and 3 points above the relegation zone.

Newcastle v. Burnley

Two teams in good form will meet in the northeast of England on Tuesday. Newcastle have won 3 of their last 5 Premier League matches to climb up to 15th place. Meanwhile, directly above them in the table are Burnley, who’ve yet to lose a Premier League match in 2019 – the Clarets are unbeaten in their last 8 league games, and are coming off a 2-1 win over Tottenham on Saturday.

Arsenal v. Bournemouth

After their win over Southampton on Sunday, Arsenal find themselves sitting in the top-4 entering the midweek matches. They’ll look to keep hold of that final Champions League place on Wednesday against Bournemouth, who sit comfortably in 10th.

Chelsea v. Tottenham

It’s west London against north London on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea host Tottenham. The Blues lost out to Manchester City on penalties in the EFL Cup Final on Sunday, as pressure continues to mount on head coach Maurizio Sarri. Meanwhile, Tottenham suffered a huge blow to their title chances over the weekend when – despite having Harry Kane back in the lineup, and on the scoresheet – they lost at Burnley.

Manchester City v. West Ham

After winning the EFL Cup on Sunday, Manchester City turn their attention back to the Premier League title race on Wednesday against West Ham. Man City currently sit in 2nd place, just 1 point behind Liverpool, and will be hoping to avoid a slip-up against old boss Manuel Pellegrini and the Hammers.
