The Falcons renew a matchup which has been very sparse throughout their history against the Buffalo Bills who, because they play in a separate conference, have not played many football games against the birds over the past few decades. These teams have met just 13 times, with the first coming in 1973, and the Falcons owning a slight 7-6 lead. A Falcons/Bills game is a rare occurrence, happening every four to five years on average.
Welcome to a rematch of the 1972 FA Cup final, which Leeds United won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Sniffer Clarke. Leeds fans are advised to keep thinking about that, because more up-to-date data very much does not skew in their favour. In the last 20 years, these two clubs have met 11 times. Arsenal have won nine of the matches, scoring four goals on three separate occasions and 23 overall. Leeds have won none, scoring just seven goals in total.
Pep Guardiola had to ask what the term bogey' meant when discussing Manchester City's slightly poor record against Tottenham. The Spanish tactician, speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday, was confused when asked by a reporter if Spurs are City's bogey side'. Although Guardiola's side so often tend to win even in the big games against the rest of the top six, it is notable that they've often slipped up against Tottenham.
