The first game of this action-packed Premier League weekend is Palace’s fixture with Manchester City at 12.30 on Saturday. City are expected to win, but there’s definitely a big chance that Palace could pull off a shock victory away from home, and they’ve beaten teams like Liverpool and Chelsea this season meaning that they can win against bigger teams. City could edge a step further to Champions League qualification, a competition where their fans are getting quite used to seeing them there after being in it for six years straight.
Moving on, Everton play Swansea at the Liberty later on Saturday. Swansea are aiming to keep to play a third game without losing in a row to improve their 50-50 chance of staying up. Meanwhile Everton’s attack will be looking to exploit the fact that The Swans have the worst defence in the league. However, the Welsh side need to try and make their attack the best form of defence and a big boost for them is the return of Llorente who has got twelve goals to his name this season.
Another fixture is Liverpool vs Southampton. Liverpool are yet to score against Southampton this season, after playing them three times with the scores ending 0-0 and 1-0 twice. Despite the Reds’ poor record against the Saints they are on a rather good run and their past nine matches have consisted of six wins, two draws and a loss, enough to make any team be pessimistic about a game.
Lastly, Arsenal are to play Manchester United on Sunday. Arsenal are definitely in need of a win because a few of their recent performances have been disastrous and an amazing stat is that Arsenal have lost as many league games this year as they did in the whole of last year, which just shows their slump in form. Simultaneously, United are missing key men such as Ibrahimovic, Young and Rojo. Both clubs are next to each other in the league table and this should be a highly entertaining grudge match.
