Burnley – the shape of the team and its analysis: the chances for survival remain intact
“The Clarets” were facing relegation until the beginning of March, and the faith of the club management in Vincent Kompany was surprising. The club had got 7 defeats and two draws in 9 matches. Still, then the team went on a four-match unbeaten streak, even winning the battle against Brentford. Speaking about the game with Everton, however, there was a misfire, which could be costly. On the other hand, it shared points with Brighton and defeated Sheffield United on the away arena after that 0-1 score. The club also added the game with Manchester United to its asset – it snatched a draw at Old Trafford.
Newcastle United – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club managed to return to the fight for the European competition
“The Magpies” have frankly failed to cope with the increased workload this season. The return to the Champions League brought 4th place in the group and, at the same time, there was a noticeable decline in the Premier League. Still, Eddie Howe confirmed his class by improving the game of his players in the spring. Since February, they have lost only in London – that happened in the confrontations with Arsenal and Chelsea. Victories over West Ham (although the club finished the game in the minority), Fulham and Tottenham (the opponent was completely defeated – 4-0) allowed the team to rise to 6th place. Then, however, Crystal Palace, winning confidently, returned the team to “the Earth”. Still, the club steamrolled through Sheffield United in the previous round.
