Burnley's fight for Premier League survival expected to come down to the wire

The Clarets’ run of back-to-back wins was ended by league leaders Arsenal on Saturday, as Scott Parker’s men fell to a 2-0 defeat on home turf.

It was only the second time Parker has lost a game at Turf Moor as Burnley boss.

Elsewhere in the top flight, West Ham came from behind to beat Newcastle United 3-1 to give Nuno Espirito Santo his first win as Hammers boss.

That moves the London Stadium outfit up to 18th on seven points, three fewer than the Clarets, setting up a spicy encounter in East London next week.

Sean Dyche’s Nottingham Forest drew 2-2 with Manchester United, while bottom side Wolves were beaten again – this time 3-0 at Fulham – to spell the end of Vitor Pereira’s spell in charge.

Leeds United were also beaten convincingly, 3-0 by Brighton, to remain just a point above Burnley in the table.
