Matchweek 18 Previews
Burnley v. Man United
Burnley, whose form has improved recently, face Man United in what is the Clarets’ first PL match in 2 weeks. Man United, meanwhile, are the only team yet to lose a PL away match this season and would go top of the table with a win or draw here.
Wolves v. Everton
Wolves have 2 wins in their last 10 PL matches, but they did advance to the 4th round of the FA Cup on Friday. They face Everton and striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who hasn’t scored in his last 5 PL apps.
Man City v. Brighton
Man City are looking like serious title contenders, and unlike City teams of previous years, they’re winning matches mostly due to their strong defence, rather than a strong attack. Brighton, meanwhile, are brutal against Man City: they’ve lost all 6 PL meetings against them by an aggregate score of 20-2.
Aston Villa v. Tottenham
Aston Villa enter the matchweek 3 points off the top-4; they were 1 point above the bottom-3 at this stage last season. They face Jose Mourinho and Tottenham, who have won 11 of their last 12 against Aston Villa in all competitions.
Arsenal v. Crystal Palace
The rejuvenated Gunners will put their 3-match PL win streak on the line against Crystal Palace, who have just 1 win in their last 7 matches in all comps.
