Premier League Matchweek 5 - Sunday/Monday Preview Wolves vs Burnley  Wolverhampton Wanderers will look to build on a first win of the season following their last minute win at West Ham last time out, while Burnley are  sitting  in the relegation zone, still seeking their first victory. Wolves have won both of their previous Premier League meetings with Burnley, lose victories coming in the 09/10 season under Mick McCarthy.

Premier League Matchweek 5 Preview  Tottenham vs Liverpool   Tottenham host Liverpool in Saturday's early kickoff at Wembley, and the Reds will want to continue their 100% form.  Spurs come back into the season from the international break following their defeat to Watford 2 weeks ago.  If Liverpool can make it five wins out of five, for what would be only the third time at the start of a season, then the talk about champions would begin to build. Tottenham will still hurt after their defeat at Watford, whilst Mauricio Pochettino has had to deal with numerous issues, from the malarkey surrounding their new stadium delays to Hugo Lloris’s drink-drive conviction.
