Sunday’s football feast continues apace with two main courses. Bournemouth will try to put an end to Tottenham Hotspur’s eight-match unbeaten streak when Mauricio Pochettino’s men pay them a visit, while the Manchester clubs do battle at Old Trafford.
Despite conceding fewer shots (44) than Arsenal (55) across the last four Gameweeks, the Cherries ranked joint-top for big chances conceded (15), promoting investment in Spurs’ attacking recruits. The Lilywhites, however, have established a resolute last line of defence, conceding the fewest goals (three) and big chances (three) since Gameweek 6. In fact, no side has watched their net ripple on fewer occasions (seven) than Tottenham this campaign.
If the form of both sides is anything to go by, the Manchester derby promises to be a high-scoring affair. From Gameweek 5 onwards, Man City (14) and Man United (12), place first and third, respectively, for goals scored, with the former carding a whopping 11 goals in their previous two outings. Notwithstanding their dominance from an attacking perspective, the Sky Blues rank joint-fourth for goals conceded (eight) over the last four Gameweeks, casting doubt over their clean-sheet prospects.
