Tottenham vs Huddersfield Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Tottenham:
Lloris; Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Wanyama, Sissoko, Skipp; Eriksen, Llorente, Lucas
Huddersfield:
Lossl; Smith, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm; Billing, Hogg; Pritchard, Mooy, Lowe; Grant
After a number of construction delays, Tottenham officially opened the new stadium. The capacity is 62,062 and it's the second largest club ground in the country, behind only Old Trafford. The Spurs benefited from the situation and obtained two important victories at the 'Tottenham Hotspur Stadium'. Mauricio Pochettino is surely satisfied with the performance of his players. They were without a single victory on the last five matches previously, losing four of them, from Burnley, Chelsea, Southampton and Liverpool. But as I wrote above, the poor series came to its end. Tottenham first beat Crystal Palace with 2:0 in the Premier League. Heung-Min Son and Christian Eriksen scored the goals in the second half and earned a place in the club's history books. The 'New-Stadium' effect continued in the Champions League on Tuesday. The Spurs had difficult opponents in Manchester City, but managed to win 1:0 thanks to the late goal from Son, or as the fans named him 'Sonaldo'. The prize for the victory was very high as the key player Harry Kane suffered an ankle injury early in the second half and is possibly out for the rest of the season. Pochettino has a big decision to make, to start with Son as his replacement, or to rest the South Korean attacker for the reverse fixture with Manchester City on Wednesday. At the end I will mention that Eric Dier, Serge Aurier and Erik Lamela are all sidelined through injuries.
Huddersfield are on the last position with 14 points. The Terriers are already relegated and they will play in the Championship Division next season. The actual form is awful - Huddersfield have five defeats on the last five matches in the Premier League. They lost 1:0 to Brighton, lost 2:0 to Bournemouth, lost 4:3 to West Ham, lost 2:0 to Crystal Palace and lost 4:1 to Leicester City. The atmosphere in the squad is far from desired, while the players confidence is low. Huddersfield have lost 19 of their last 21 games in all competitions since the beginning of December 2018. That's more defeats than any other club in the top four divisions in England during that period. The away form is also bad, Huddersfield have been beaten in 9 of their past 10 away matches in the Premier League. Playing against top teams is another problem as they have lost all nine league games so far played against the established top-six sides, conceding 26 goals. The interim manager Jan Siewert will try to change something against Tottenham, but it will be extremely difficult. In addition, Siewert has four injury worries - Adama Diakhaby and Abdelhamid Sabiri are definitely sidelined, while Laurent Depoitre and Philip Billing are rated as doubtful.
Tottenham vs Huddersfield Prediction:
I think Huddersfield won't lose with more than one goal. There are two main reasons for my pick. Both are connect with Tottenham. First, their best scorer and key player Harry Kane is out injured. Second, Tottenham players will be focused on the upcoming Champions League fixture with Manchester City.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Crystal Palace:
Guaita; Wan-Bissaka, Kelly, Dann, Van Aanholt; Townsend, McArthur, Milivojevic, Schlupp; Batshuayi, Zaha
Manchester City:
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy; De Bruyne, Fernandinho, D.Silva; Sterling, Jesus, Sane
Crystal Palace are on the 12th place with 39 points. They are eleven points away from the drop zone and most probably will avoid the relegation. However, they are not mathematically safe and few more points will be welcome. The actual form is mixed, Palace have three victories and two defeats on the last five matches in the Premier League. Last weekend they won 1:0 against Newcastle thanks to the second-half goals scored by Luka Milivojevic from penalty. The captain has scored 23 goals for the club and became the outright joint-second highest goalscorer for Crystal Palace in Premier League history, behind only Wilfried Zaha. In addition, Serbian midfielder has scored 10 penalty goals in the Premier League this season - only Andrew Johnson in the season 2004/05 (also with Crystal Palace) has scored more in a single campaign (11). Manager Roy Hodgson could be satisfied with the players performances on the last match. He has most of the players available for this match, but Mamadou Sakho is sidelined as he is recovering from knee surgery. James Tomkins, meanwhile, injured his groin against Newcastle and he is rated as doubtful.
Manchester City are on the second place with 80 points. They are two points behind the actual leaders Liverpool, but have a match in hand, so everything is possible in the remaining part of the season. One thing is clear, Manchester City will become champions if they win their fixtures. With other words, the Citizens must win all six remaining matches in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola's men will face Crystal Palace, Tottenham, Manchester United, Burnley, Leicester City and Brighton until the end of the season. The actual domestic form is good, City have won eight successive Premier League matches, keeping a clean sheet in six of the last seven. But Crystal Palace and Roy Hodgson are not the ideal opponents. The Eagles won the reverse fixture earlier this season at the Etihad Stadium. In addition, Guardiola has won 23 of 27 Premier League matches against English managers, with his only defeat coming against Roy Hodgson and Crystal Palace in December. Sergio Aguero, meanwhile, is without a goal in all five of his previous appearances at Selhurst Park. At this point I will mention that Manchester City will play against Tottenham in the Champions League three days later. As You probably know, Tottenham won 1:0 in London. Guardiola will probably rest some of his key players from this match. In addition, he has two injury worries. Bernardo Silva is struggling with a muscular injury that ruled him out of the Champions League clash on Tuesday and he is rated as doubtful, as well as Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Prediction:
I expect Under 3.5 goals at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace have scored just one goal on the last two matches. Even that goal came from the penalty. Manchester City, meanwhile, will face Tottenham in the Champions League on Wednesday and Guardiola will probably rest his best scorer Sergio Aguero. Considering these facts, I expect less than four goals here.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Pick: Under 3.5 goals @ 1.56 with Pinnacle
Possible starting lineups:
Crystal Palace:
Guaita; Wan-Bissaka, Kelly, Dann, Van Aanholt; Townsend, McArthur, Milivojevic, Schlupp; Batshuayi, Zaha

Liverpool vs Chelsea Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Liverpool:
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Keita, Salah, Firmino, Mane
Chelsea:
Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Emerson, Kante, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Higuain, Hazard
Liverpool are leaders on the table with 82 points. Manchester City are on the second place with 80 points, but have a match in hand. The Citizens will secure a second consecutive title if they win their remaining six matches in the Premier League. However, the Merseysiders will not give up easily and will fight until the last round. Indeed, Jurgen Klopp's men are sending a message with the fact they have scored 21 Premier League goals in the final 15 minutes of matches this season, the highest figure in the Premier League. Last weekend the Reds secured a hard-fought 3:1 away win to Southampton. Late scores from Mohamed Salah and Jordan Henderson were enough to obtain another three points. Naby Keita earlier leveled matters after Shane Long had given the opponents an unexpected lead. That was Keita's first goal for Liverpool in the season coming from after 23 shots. He is the third player from Guinea to score in the league after Kamil Zayatte and Titi Camara. Henderson should also be mentioned - the captain is the first Premier League substitute to score a goal, assist a goal and receive a yellow card since Graziano Pelle in May 2016. On Tuesday the Reds won 2:0 against Porto in the Champions League. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is high. Klopp will have Andy Robertson back after serving a one-match European suspension in midweek. Joe Gomez, who was unused substitute against Porto, is back in contention after four months on the sidelines, while Adam Lallana is rated as doubtful. This match comes too soon for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He played some 60 minutes in unofficial friendly match against Bury last week.
Chelsea are in the battle for the fourth place that guarantees the Champions League football for the next season. The actual form is good, they have three victories on the last three matches in the Premier League, plus won 1:0 against Slavia Prague in the UEFA Europe League. It is important to be mentioned that Sarri started the match against Slavia without four key players - David Luiz, Ngolo Kante, Gonzalo Higuain and Eden Hazard and still won in the Czech Republic. The victory in Prague leaves Chelsea with one foot in the Europa League semi-finals, although they must stay focused. The atmosphere in the squad is good, while the players confidence is high. Manager Maurizio Sarri could be satisfy with the latest performance of his players. They have collected 9 points in the last three rounds. Chelsea first won 2:1 against Cardiff City, then won 3:0 against Brighton, before winning 2:0 against West Ham last weekend. Eden Hazard scored the goals on the last match. The Belgian international is the best player this season, with 16 Premier League goals and 12 league assists to his name. No player have been directly involved in more goals this season prior to the latest round of fixtures. Pedro are the second scorer, while Alvaro Morata, who left the club during January transfer window, is still on the third place with five goals. For this match Sarri has almost a full selection of first-team players to choose from, only left-back Emerson Palmieri is rated as doubtful.
Liverpool vs Chelsea Prediction:
Chelsea are unbeaten in eight matches at Anfield in all competitions since. This fact should not be underestimated. Both teams had matches in Europe during the midweek. Liverpool had a bigger opponent and played with the strongest eleven. Chelsea, meanwhile, started without four key players - David Luiz, Kante, Higuain and Hazard and still won in the Czech Republic. I expect Chelsea to remain unbeaten.
Liverpool vs Chelsea Pick: Chelsea +0.5 Asian Handicap @ 2.39 with Pinnacle

Everything is now judging for Liverpool, which is constantly playing important games this season. He is in the Champions League matches with Porto, winning at Anfield last Tuesday with 2-0. However, the Premier League championship remains a major goal, where the Chelsea derby is ahead of her. The two teams want the victory for their own reasons, but the bad luck is the upper hand of the "Reds" of Jürgen Clop
