Premier League Sunday tips: how Burnley can win relegation scrap at Norwich

All eyes will be on the titanic title tussle at the Etihad Stadium, but that is not the only intriguing Premier League game taking place on Sunday. Here are out tips for the other three matches in the top flight.
Brentford vs West Ham United
2pm
Perhaps a top-four finish is not yet out of the question for West Ham United after all. Arsenal’s recent stutters have primarily opened the door to Tottenham Hotspur, but the Hammers are now just three points adrift of the final Champions League spot (albeit having played more games than the teams around them).
A trip to Brentford will not be easy, though, especially given West Ham’s European exertions on Thursday. The Bees thrashed Chelsea last time out and have won three of their last four games. West Ham might have to settle for a point.
Recommended bet: draw @ 3.3
Leicester City vs Crystal Palace
2pm
Crystal Palace will arrive at the King Power Stadium full of confidence following their 3-0 victory over Arsenal on Monday. That win saw Patrick Vieira’s side climb above Leicester and into ninth place, but the Foxes have the chance move clear of Palace this weekend.
Leicester have some key defenders fit again and they are consequently looking more solid at the back. Palace have plenty of attacking quality, though, with Wilfried Zaha back to his best in 2022. The Ivorian reached double figures for the season on Monday and could find the net again here.
Recommended bet: Wilfried Zaha to score anytime @ 3.35
Norwich City vs Burnley
2pm, Sky Sports Main Event
Burnley looked to be in a very difficult position when they trailed Everton 2-1 at half-time of Wednesday’s rearranged fixture. A defeat by the Toffees would have seen them fall seven points adrift of safety. But two second-half goals turned the game on its head, and the Clarets are now just one point behind Everton in 17th.
Sean Dyche’s side know what it takes to be successful in a relegation battle, and they could give their survival prospects another boost against a Norwich side who look dead and buried. Dean Smith’s men have taken just one point from the last 21 available, so Burnley will fancy their chances at Carrow Road.
Recommended bet: Burnley to win @ 2.66
