Top clubs win again

Last updated : 16 March 2010 By Tony Scholes

Those seven clubs are split with the top three all chasing the title and the next four searching for the one remaining Champions League place for next season, and it is Spurs leading that chase right now.

Down at the other end of the table, things look a lot worse for Burnley after the defeat to Wolves. The only bright news came with Arsenal's late winner at Hull, West Ham's defeat at Chelsea and Wigan suffering two defeats.

The bottom two play each other this week whilst we play Wigan. Whilst looking to improve on our solitary away point we'll also be hoping Arsenal and Aston Villa can beat West Ham and Wolves.

The week's stats are below along with the Premier League's leading goalscorers, each club's disciplinary record and the next set of fixtures.
