Burnley is a +575 home underdog at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Tottenham is going off as a -200 favorite to win the game with draw odds paying +305. Despite having scored only 16 goals through the first 18 games of the season, Burnley has found success due to an outstanding defense. The home club is tied with Manchester City and Manchester United for the fewest goals allowed in the Premier League with 12.
Tottenham currently sits one point lower than Burnley in the standings with a 9-5-4 record despite having a +13 goal differential to Burney’s +4. In the last seven meetings between these two clubs, Tottenham holds a 4-0-3 edge over Burnley FC.
Manchester City, the clear favorite on the EPL championship odds, had no trouble at all in dispatching Tottenham at home last week, extending its EPL-record winning streak to 16 straight matches. There is no clear end in sight for this win streak with favorable upcoming matches of Bournemouth at home this Saturday followed by Newcastle and Crystal Palace on the road before a return home to face Watford. City is a massive -1100 favorite at home this week as Bournemouth would pay +2200 on an outright upset and +1000 to end the win streak with a draw.
The most intriguing match of the week takes place on Friday between Arsenal and Liverpool. But in the weekend’s action, a Manchester United road test against Leicester City on Saturday should be one of the more entertaining games on the board.
Leicester City (+340) had a four game winning streak snapped in a stunning 3-0 home loss to Crystal Palace last Saturday. The club was likely caught looking ahead to this week’s matchup against Manchester United and will now need to make the most of it after blowing an opportunity at three valuable points. Manchester United (-125 to win, +260 to draw) is 5-2-2 away from home this season.
