EPL Matchday 14: Crystal Palace vs Liverpool, Southampton vs Manchester City, And Everton vs Arsenal
It's another cracker day in the EPL as Crystal Palace host Liverpool, Man City travel to St Mary's stadium, and Everton welcome another London team(Arsenal) to a Goodison Park.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool:
This week has been awesome for The Reds as they not only beat in-form Spurs to move top of the table, but also had Jurgen Kloop and 4 of their players(Alisson Becker, Van Dijk, Trent Arnold, and Thiago Alcantara) recognized by FIFA yesterday with the former claiming the FIFA Men's Coach Award, and the latter included in the FIFA Pro XI. They will be lookinng to wrap their impressive week with a win over Crystal Palace.
Even with a not fully fit team, Liverpool should be a ble to claim at leaat a draw. The Reds have won the last 7 games between both sides, and although their visit to Selhurt Park have always being tricky, I won't be suprised if they get another win. That's just how Jurgen Kloop's men are built.
Palace will also be looking to extend their 3 matches unbeaten run to 4, but playing against Liverpool at thus time might be a party crasher. Hopefully, they will, atleat, fight for a share of the spoil.
Southampton vs Manchester City:
Another tough game for Pep's men as they travel to St Mary's Stadium looking to get back to winning ways against Southampton. However, they might not be having it their way as the Saints have also being in an impressive form, with their last defeat being an unlucky game against United in which they forfeited their 2 nil advantage, losing the game by 2 goals to 3. The Saints were also unfortunate to drop 2 points in their last game as they allowed a poor Arsenal team get a draw.
City have gotten the better of The Saints in 6 of their last previous 7, of which the only defeat they had was the last game between both sides which took place here in St Mary's stadium this year. With both sides' current form, a draw would be best for both teams.
Everton vs Arsenal:
The Toffees will be looking to build more on their last 3 impressive games as they welcome a poor Arsenal team to Goodison Park. Arsenal, on the other hand, will be looking to also build on their draw against Southampton that saw them put an end to a diismal run of 3 consecutive losses.
Arsenal will however be facing a dauting task of getting atleat a point at Goodison Park, a place where they, like Chelsea, haven't been having it their way of lately. However, a good run of 5 wins and a draw against Everton, with their last encounter being a win in favour of The Gunners, should be a morale booster for them. But I feel Everton could have all 3 points based on current form.
Loads of actions today for us to enjoy I must say.

Thanks a lot.
