None of the top six were in action in the Premier League today, and the rest of the pack didn’t exactly do their bit to live up to the billing that this is in fact the best league in the world.
Arsenal star pictured back in training in possible North London Derby boost There were five matches on Saturday, and by half time in the four 3pm kick-offs it seemed pretty clear what we were heading for as they managed just one goal between them.
Things livened up in the second half as a goal by Bournemouth’s Josh King condemned Sunderland to relegation, while the late kick off between Crystal Palace and Burnley was the only game of the day to feature more than one goal.
Today's Premier League results
Stoke City 0-0 West Ham
Sunderland 0-1 Bournemouth
West Brom 0-1 Leicester City
Crystal Palace 0-2 Burnley
Incredibly, stats from Opta __have revealed that this is the first time a Premier League matchday with four games or more has resulted in NONE of the home teams finding the back of the net.
0 – This is the first time in @premierleague history no home side has scored on a single day with at least four games. Blanks.

Southampton, Stoke, Sunderland, West Brom and Palace were all playing in front of their own fans this afternoon, and certainly didn’t provide great value for money.

Sunday’s line ups could be more interesting as both Manchester United and City are in action before the highlight of the weekend: Tottenham hosting Arsenal in the North London Derby.
For now, however, you can probably give Match of the Day a miss tonight, despite Gary Lineker’s best efforts!
