Only a miracle saved Burnley from relegation from the Premier League last season. The team leaders and fans are expecting the same miracle in the new championship. Last summer, the “burgundy” managed to keep the backbone, while the reinforcement, which is extremely necessary in such a division as the Premier League, did not receive. The team had a good start in the League Cup, but already at the 1/8 finals, they failed to cope with Tottenham (0:1). In the major league tournament Sean Deitch’s wards won only one victory and drew eight times after 15 rounds, which brought them 11 points and 18th place in the relegation zone. After the defeat to Newcastle (1:0), the hosts broke up with West Ham (0:0). Barnes, Cornet, Stevens, Roberts and Stevens, who has coronavirus, will not be able to play today.
Wolverhampton were eliminated from the English League Cup in the first stage, where they failed to cope with the formidable and inconvenient Tottenham. Bruno Lajey & Co. scored six victories and three peaceful outcomes in the English Major League tournament, bringing 21 points and ninth place in the standings. After the win over West Ham (1:0) on 20th of November, the Tramps drew twice with Norwich (0:0) and Burnley (0:0), followed by two losses. It is impossible not to note the worst performance of the team in the attacking line, which scored only 12 times. Today Jimenez, Johnny, Mosquera and Neto, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play.
