Burnley v Spurs
Second bottom Burnley drew 1-1 at Liverpool last weekend, a fantastic point but they remain without a league win in 13 matches although 4 of the last 6 have finished all square.
Spurs 2-0 home win over Dortmund in the UCL in midweek eased the pressure on Thomas Frank whose job looked to be on the line after last week’s home defeat to West Ham. Just 5 points from their last 7 league games has seen Spurs slip into the bottom half of the standings, 9 points off a top four spot.

Fulham v Brighton
Fulham are 1 point and 1 place better off than Brighton in a congested mid table section of the log. Fulham’s 6 match unbeaten run (4 wins, 2 draws) was ended with a 1-0 defeat away to Leeds last weekend, the first time they have failed to score in a league game since early November.
Brighton are unbeaten in their last 4 although 3 of those games finished all square alongside a 2-0 home win over Burnley. They have drawn 9 league games this season including the first meeting with Fulham which finished 1-1.

Man City v Wolves
City’s worrying dip in results continued in midweek when they lost 3-1 at Bodo/Glimt in the UCL. Their last league game saw them go down 2-0 to United in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford which came on the back of 3 successive EPL draws including home games against Brighton and Chelsea. City come into the round in second spot, ahead of Villa on goal difference but now 7 points shy of league leaders Arsenal.
Bottom of the table Wolves drew 0-0 at home to Newcastle last week and they are 4 without defeat (3 draws and a win at home to West Ham). They have just the 8 points against their name, 14 shy of safety but are showing great spirit in their recent matches.

Bournemouth v Liverpool
Bournemouth were denied back to back wins when Brighton scored a late equalizer last week. They beat Spurs 3-2 in their most recent home game but that is their only win in their last 13 league outings and they are 15th on the log, 10 points better off than third bottom West Ham.
Liverpool came away from Marseille with an excellent 3-0 win in the UCL in midweek and are well placed to progress to the knockout rounds automatically. They are unbeaten in their last 10 league games but each of the last 4 were drawn and they come into the round in fourth spot, 14 points behind Arsenal and with a whole posse of clubs on their heels.
