Huddersfield Town vs Tottenham Hotspur – Match Preview – Premier League action returns with newly promoted Huddersfield hosting Tottenham Hotspur this Saturday.

The hosts have been overachieving since beginning their Premier League journey back in August; much to the delight of their fans. Whilst Tottenham have begun to regain the form of last season as striker Harry Kane is beginning to find the back of the net after a dry August.

Huddersfield have drawn their last two matches in the league with Leicester and Burnley. The results have been satisfactory, however the performances have been exemplary. In their last outing away at Burnley, David Wagner’s side had more than double Burnley’s shot attempts due to their pace on the counter attack. New signing Tom Ince is yet to get off the mark at his new club but is always a threat to his opposition full-back.

Tottenham have had a very busy schedule since the start of the season, balancing the Premier League with domestic cups and the Champions League. However, so far there are no signs of fatigue. They most recently took to the field against APOEL in the Champions League who they easily dispatched of, 3-0. A hattrick from Harry Kane assured not only the three points for Mauricio Pochettino’s side but that Harry Kane means business for yet another year. The hattrick was the Englishmen’s sixth of the calendar year; an astonishing achievement.

Huddersfield are currently eighth in the Premier League, a lot higher than expected. With nine points after six matches, they are proving to be underestimated by many fans and clubs who expected them to be the whipping boys this season. Although they are the underdogs, a victory could see them leapfrog Tottenham this season. Can they continue to prove the doubters wrong?

Tottenham are currently fourth in the Premier League with eleven points after six matches. The North Londoners will be regretful they haven’t accumulated more points against clubs such as Swansea City and Burnley. It isn’t impossible that they could throw away some points in this fixture, however with Harry Kane hitting form and Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen firing on all cylinders, they are proving yet again an attacking force to be reckoned with.

Everton vs Burnley – Match Preview

Everton vs Burnley – Match Preview – Super Sunday action returns with Merseyside club Everton playing hosts to fellow Northerners Burnley.

Both sides have had average starts to their season; Burnley favouring slightly more towards doing well. After the transfer window that Ronald Koeman had, nobody expected Everton to be under performing in the manner they have been. Wayne Rooney, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jordan Pickford are just some of the names that are yet to showcase their talents at Goodison Park.

Burnley have entered this season with a clear game plan which seem to be working. Playing off a big target man and exploiting their pace on the wings in possession. Both Sam Vokes and new signing Chris Wood have shared a couple of goals, however Burnley have been involved in a few boring matches. With Everton struggling to click at the moment, it is quite possible we could have a low scoring affair.

Everton are currently 14th in the Premier League table, three points from the relegation zone. Their most recent Premier League outing saw them narrowly win at home to Bournemouth thanks to two late goals from club outcast Oumar Niasse. This squad on paper promises a lot and many believe they are still capable of causing the top 6 some issues this season. Where they lack in pace, they gain in quality on the ball with some fantastic shooters and passers. They desperately need this win, can they overcome this Burnley side?

Burnley have enjoyed a rather impressive start to the season sitting in 10th in the Premier League with nine points from six matches. They have built a stable backline that is proving tough to beat having conceded five goals thus far. They now face a tough run of fixtures with this one being possibly the most winnable, a run of bad results will see them slip down into an area of the table they won’t want to be in. Can they withstand the class of Everton?

The ‘Iceman’ Gylfi Sigurdsson hasn’t quite found his feet yet with Everton but it is only a matter of time before he begins to become a major threat. Can Gylfi silence Burnley?

Reading vs Norwich City – Match Preview

Reading vs Norwich City – Match Preview – Reading face Norwich City in the SkyBet Championship this Saturday on Sky Sports.

Both sides are in desperate need of a win, both in contrasting positions in the table. Norwich most recently scalped a great result, beating Middlesbrough 1-0 away from home thanks to a 13th minute Josh Maddison goal. Reading are fresh from a very disappointing result away to Millwall. Two goals in the last ten minutes meant Jaap Stam’s side threw away a 1-0 lead to shed more disappointment on a rather glum beginning to the season.

The Royals have failed to score in the first half of any game so far this season; in fact, they are the only team in the football league to have still not. Meanwhile, Norwich have kept five clean sheets in a row in the SkyBet Championship, so recent form is suggesting this fixture should end up a certain way.

As aforementioned, the hosts haven’t enjoyed a fruitful beginning to their 2017/18 SkyBet Championship campaign. Their frustrations are beginning to cause unrest with the fans whose attendances to matches is slowly decreasing. Jaap Stam’s tactics promote a possession based brand of football that hasn’t been very exciting this season and hasn’t yielded the results. With a lack of attacking presence, the Royals are slowly slipping down the Championship table which isn’t an accurate representation of the Reading that lost a penalty shootout at Wembley to win the play-offs a few months ago. Will Stam change his tactics and grab a much-needed victory?

Norwich have enjoyed a good run of form as of late, proving to have formed a rigid defensive line following their leaky start to the league. Portuguese striker Nelson Oliveira has begun the season in emphatic fashion with four goals to his name so far in the league. His clinical edge and ‘fox in the box’ style of play is proving a threat that Norwich must utilise against Reading. They are a team who also look to keep the ball for prolonged periods and build from the back. Will the visitors continue Readings misery?
