English Premier League: Matchday 34 preview marks three days of action
Seventh place Burnley entertains eighth place, Leicester City. Who would have thought these two clubs would be on the verge of ending so high up the table?
I didn’t see it coming with the former just the thieves in the night and the latter – oh how bad their start was to the Premier League this season. Hence the man in charge now is Claude Puel, and not Craig Shakespeare. Great recovery by Puel and the Foxes.
SD confirms that Ben Mee may miss several weeks with a knee injury.

Scott Arfield and @gknkoudou are both doubtful for the weekend, but there's better news on @Gudmundsson7, who comes back into the thinking for @LCFC.
With six points separating the two clubs and 12 left to play for – I’d say Sean Dyche can see European football at the end of his telescope, while sailing with the wind on his pirate ship filled with clarets.
Thieves I tell you, thieves.
Leicester’s last fixture saw them fail at home to Newcastle. Only Vardy could find the net although the dangerous Mahrez was playing. Burnley can defend a fortress with 100 percent ease. In return, they can also break them down like pirates of the Caribbean.
Mind you, only once, or twice. They not about embarrassing other clubs (can you detect the sarcasm in my voice).

The task is tougher for the visitors than it is for the hosts. They know what to do inside Turf Moor. Going all the way for a Burnley win here, because of current form and the Turf Moor situation.
Match time: Saturday 14:00 GMT
Venue: Turf Moor Stadium
Score Prediction: Burnley 1-0 Leicester City

A box of colourful crayons versus a box of brown crayons. The colourful Carvalhal entertains the dull Allardyce. Swansea should be all over Everton in this tie.
The Welsh side needs the win more than the English side, who appear to be playing it safe coming off the back of a Merseyside derby draw. Four points above the drop zone and a game in hand takes the pressure off the home side.

Everton must collect all the points or they find themselves back in the deep blue, Championship scheme of things. Newcastle and Bournemouth are knocking on Everton’s door – looking for that ninth place. The two’s game in hand, helps in the chase which gives Sam and Shakes things to worry about.
Going for a Swansea win – that’s if Sam doesn’t bore a draw out of Carlos.
