Data Study: How have Newcastle United, Burnley and Leeds United performed in the Premier League over the past 365 days?

At this point last season, following a delayed start to the campaign, four wins from four had taken Everton to the top of the Premier League table.

Aston Villa were hot on their heels having beaten champions Liverpool 7-2 on home soil thanks to a Ollie Watkins hat-trick.

Three goals from Jamie Vardy had also seen third-place Leicester City thrash eventual champions Manchester City 5-2 at the Etihad.

And Spurs had thumped Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford — with Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son scoring two goals apiece.
