Crystal Palace vs Newcastle
After their 4-2 loss to Arsenal on New Year's Eve, Roberto De Zerbi's club has won only once in their past 11 games. They have two games in hand on Liverpool but are an outstanding seventh in the league rankings, three points behind the Reds. They will bet on their prospects of breaking into the top four and will need to keep winning in order to remain competitive.
The performance of Crystal Palace, on the other hand, has been appalling ever since club football returned following the World Cup. The team of Patrick Vieira has lost all 11 games, and their most recent triumph came on December 31 against Bournemouth. Nine clubs are barely five points apart from the bottom of the standings.
