Matchweek 26 Previews

Leeds v. Aston Villa

Both Leeds and Aston Villa are sitting comfortably in the top half of the table. Marcelo Bielsa’s men won the reverse fixture, winning 3-0 at Villa Park in October. Expect goals at Elland Road – games involving Leeds have seen a PL-high 86 goals this season.

Tottenham v. Burnley

Tottenham have lost 5 of their last 6 Premier League games, and suddenly find themselves 9 points off the top-4. Meanwhile, Burnley are unbeaten in their last 4 Premier League games, and have lost just twice in their last 8. Will there be a surprise in north London?

Chelsea v. Manchester United

Overall, Manchester United have gotten the better of Chelsea over recent years. They’re unbeaten in their last 6 league meetings with the Blues, and have won on each of their last 3 trips to Stamford Bridge across all competitions. Still, Chelsea remain unbeaten under new boss Thomas Tuchel, and are coming off an impressive Champions League win over Atletico Madrid.

Sheffield United v. Liverpool

Just like that, Liverpool have lost 4 straight Premier League games and face an uphill climb to finish in the top-4. Still, you’d have to think they’re favorites on Sunday; Sheffield United remain stuck at the bottom of the table, and have won 3 of their 25 Premier League games this season.

Everton v. Southampton

Fresh off their first Merseyside Derby win in over a decade, Everton have their sights on a European spot. They’ll now welcome in Southampton, who are winless in their last 8 Premier League games.
