Premier League Matchweek 5 - Sunday and Monday Preview


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.

Burnley are however, unbeaten in their last four league encounters with Wolves, winning two and drawing two.

Burnley have never won a Premier League away match against a promoted side,  (W0 D6 L4), which includes a 0-2 defeat to Wolves at Molineux in December 2009.

Wolves are looking for a first win in 15 home matches in the Premier League (D4 L10) which would end their longest winless run at Molineux in the top flight.

Prediction - Wolves 2-1 Burnley

Everton vs West Ham

Everton have drawn 3 and won 1 game, whilst West Ham have lost all 4 of their encounters. 

Everton have beaten West Ham in 24 league encounters, and scored 80 goals against them, which is more than they have done against any other team. 

Theo Walcott has scored 6 Premier League goals against West Ham United, which is more than any other team. 

Prediction - Everton 3-1 West Ham 


Southampton vs Brighton

Southampton host Brighton at St Mary's to conclude the weekends' football. 
Each side have 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats this season and are evenly matched going into this encounter. 

Glenn Murray has good memories of facing Southampton, scoring in both Premier League meetings with them last season, as each match ended 1-1. 

Charlie Austin certainly enjoys playing against Brighton, he has netted seven goals against them in all competitions, more than against any other side. He also scored past them in the EFL Cup this season.

Prediction - Southampton 1-1 Brighton

France vs Uruguay Review

France 2-0 Uruguay  France are into the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time since 2006 after beating Uruguay with the help of a terrible error by goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. This quarter-final tie did not come close to the excitement of Les Bleus' win over Argentina in the last 16 but will still be remembered for the goalkeepers displays, with Hugo Lloris producing a contender for save of the tournament while his opposite number made a mistake that was even more memorable and effectively knocked his own nation out of the tournament . Real Madrid's centre back Raphael Varane headed France into a first-half lead from a well executed free-kick , with Antoine Griezmann delaying his run before delivering the perfect cross for the defender to glance home. Uruguay had injured striker Edinson Cavani failing to make the bench, very nearly struck back immediately from a free-kick of their own, but Tottenham captain Lloris produced a brilliant diving stop to deny

England vs Tunisia Preview

Who starts for England tonight, how will Kane and Alli fare, the importance of Lingard and Sterling? For fans all across the United Kingdom, the journey is almost underway. Tonight, England get their World Cup campaign started, and it is of paramount importance we don't see a similar mentality to four years ago. I am absolutely confident we won't. This England side, unlike the squad of 2014, looks ready, and is packed with world class talent. If there's any time to show the world what they're made of, it's now. Despite not being an overly popular choice for manager, there is no denying that Gareth Southgate has done a fantastic job so far of getting his team in the best possible position to go all the way and try and bring this cup home. England did not lose a single game in qualifying, winning eight and drawing two. We have possibly the best striker in the world, Harry Kane, who has just come off of his best individual season with Tottenham Hotspur, netting thirt

Brazil vs Belgium Review

Image
Brazil 1-2 Belgium Belgium produced an exceptional performance to knock the five-time winners Brazil out of the World Cup and reach the semi-finals for the first time since 1986. Roberto Martinez's Red Devils turned on the style in Kazan to record their fifth straight victory in the tournament and ensure that the semi-finals will be contested by four European sides for the first time since 2006. Brazil had previously conceded just one goal in their past four games in Russia 2018 but were behind early on when Nacer Chadli's corner struck Manchester City's Fernandinho's arm and flew into the net, and recording the 10th own goal of this World Cup. Fernandinho's Manchester City teammate Kevin de Bruyne doubled Belgium's lead with an astonishing finish that nestled in the far corner from 20 yards after Romelu Lukaku's dominating run. In a very entertaining and open game, Brazil wasted chances, and hit the post when the match was goalless, Thiago Sil
