Tottenham would finally open the door to their new stadium after persistent delays since the start of the season. They are set begin a new era that should see them play Champions League football at their New White Hart Lane, however, results have been tough for them and it looks most likely that they could miss out on the Premier League top four. They have won none of their last five league games, with four of those matches ending in losses for them. Their 2-1 loss against Burnley last month started a chain of poor results that ended in a 2-1 loss to Liverpool on Sunday. They are 4th on the league table after Arsenal’s win on Monday and they would need a win here to keep their top four hopes alive. Crystal Palace would not be an easy ride for the Lilywhites. The Eagles are currently 13th on the league table but they have been solid when they play away from home. They have lost just one of their last six away matches and they have taken some points off the big sides on their travels, most famously beating Manchester City at the Etihad. Meanwhile, Spurs have only kept a clean sheet in four of their 14 home league games this season, including just one of their last six. Crystal Palace will understandably feel confident about getting on the scoresheet, but with just one clean sheet in their last eight away games we can’t see them keeping Harry Kane and company out at the other end.

Chelsea were extremely lucky to have secured a win against Cardiff City at the weekend. The Blues found themselves 1-0 down heading into the closing stages of that game, but a stroke of luck helped them equalize with a goal that was clearly offside before sealing the win with yet another goal in the dying seconds of that game. That win helped take some pressure of Maurizio Sarri whose team has been doing badly away from home for most of the season. However, they have more often than not turned on the style when they play at Stamford Bridge and their fans would be hopeful that this turns out to be yet another win for them. Brighton were very poor at the weekend and that led to them suffering a 1-0 home loss against Southampton. That was also the first time they had lost a game in 3 matches bringing to an end their two games winning streak. This game offers them another chance to shock a big side as they have done often since they got promoted back to the Premier League but Chelsea may not allow them here.

Manchester City and Liverpool are in one of the closest title races in recent memories and the back and forth at the top of the Premier League table continued at the weekend. Manchester City were top before Liverpool played on Sunday but the Reds earned a somewhat fortunate 2-1 win over Tottenham to return to the top of the Premier League table, two points ahead of City. The Cityzens have this game in hand and they would be looking to win this game and  top the league by one point. The defending champions would still have to face Manchester United and Tottenham while Liverpool would only face Chelsea as a big team before the end of this season, so City would feel they have to win here. Cardiff City were so unlucky to have been beaten by Chelsea at the weekend. The first goal scored by the Blues was a clear offside and they managed to score yet again in the dying seconds. That defeat leaves Cardiff City very much in relegation trouble with 5 points needed for them to avoid the drop. They would be fighting for their future in this game but it would be a tough night for them against a Manchester City side that is looking to win the quadruple.

This would be one of the most interesting matches this weekend as both of these sides have always played out thrilling contests. There is also a lot at stake at the moment for both teams with Chelsea looking to end inside the top four while Everton would be looking to end campaign inside a Europa League place at least. Everton have had a terrible time in most games this season with their defensive issues continuing to affect their overall performances. They took a 2-0 lead in their last league game against Newcastle but they still ended up losing the game 3-2. This sort of defensive collapse has been rampant this season and would definitely be punished if they are allowed to show up here. Chelsea are looking to return to the Premier League top four  but a win here would only be enough if it has enough goal difference and if Arsenal loses. The Blues played and won well in the Europa League in midweek and their fans would be hoping that they can star here again.

Liverpool would be looking to return to the top of the Premier League table and hopefully stay there until the end of the season when they take on struggling Fulham in this game. The host have had a dreadful season and with just about 8 games to go they look set for an immediate return to the English championship. Liverpool took Bayern Munich apart in midweek after crushing the Germans 3-1 away from home despite ending the first leg goalless at Anfield. The Red’s performance in that game shows why every team wants to avoid them in the Champions League next round. They would find it not so difficult to win this game and we believe it is only a matter of how many goals the Cottagers can stop them from scoring. Liverpool would top the league by 2 points if they win here and Manchester City would still have to play Manchester United and Tottenham, so the Reds’ fans can be optimistic that this game would end in a certain win for their team.

Manchester City have the chance to go top of the Premier League just two weeks after they could have been seven points off the top of the Premier League table. The Cityzens slipped up at Newcastle some two matchdays back and that gave Liverpool the chance to open a seven points gap on City, however, the Reds have drawn their last two games to reduce the points gap to just 3 points ahead of this round of games. Everton who are also archrivals to Liverpool would be tasked with doing Liverpool a favour yet again and cause Manchester City to drop points, however, the Toffees are not in their best form heading into this game. Everton have won just four of their last 14 games in all competitions and they have lost 8 of those games. Their head to head against Manchester City is also not impressive as they have won just one of their last 12 league meetings with the Premier League defending champions.

This is one of the most competitive title races in Scotland in recent history and Celtic would feel they have their work cut out as they bid to win a third consecutive league title under Brendan Rodgers. They are currently 3 points ahead of Rangers who are their main title rivals this season as Steven Gerard looks to topple his former manager. The Bhoys lost their last game of last year before going on a warm weather training camp. They have returned more refreshed and head into this game having won all of their last three games in all competitions, we expect this game to be a similar outcome for them. St Johnstone have been in and out of the Scottish top flight for a while now but they seem to have stabilized and would be looking to finish inside the top six this season. The visitors come into this game in the sixth position. That position was helped by a run of 4 straight wins, they would be looking to get back to winning ways after suffering a 2-0 loss to Hearts the last time out.

Chelsea have recovered well from back to back losses to Arsenal and Tottenham to win their last two games and their fans would be expecting them to continue their fine run of form against Bournemouth in this game. The Blues have reached the Carabao Cup final after overturning a first leg 1-0 loss to Tottenham and reached the next round of the FA Cup after beating Shefield Wednesday at the weekend. They are currently well on course to finish inside the top four while they are still competing for the FA Cup and the Europa League, so it looks like this season could end with yet another silverware for the Blues. Bournemouth would also be happy coming into this game after they secured a much needed 2-0 win over West Ham United the last time out. Prior to that win, they were on a run of 4 losses in 5 games and they would be hoping to build a winning run with another victory here.

Liverpool were the most decorated club in England for a long period of time, but since the re-branding of the English top flight game and renaming it the Premier League, the Reds have yet to win the competition. In the last decade, they have come close to winning it twice but failed to do so, they are currently top of the Premier League table again here and having lost just a single game in the league season, this could be the year they ended their wait. They come into this game after back to back wins over Brighton and Crystal Palace and their players would be confident of clinching yet another win here. Leicester City have recorded some upsetting wins in the Premier League in the last two months after beating Chelsea and Leicester City. However, the pressure has returned for Claude Puel as his team come here having lost 4 of their last 5 games in all competitions. They have been a bogey team to Liverpool for some time now but the Reds have won the last three meetings between them.
