Molineux Stadium will witness a game between Wolves and Watford in the evening of Thursday.

Wolves
They are in poor state, suffering a three-match losing streak recently. Now they rank the eighth in the table of the League. It is impossible for them to qualify for Champions League. But they still stand the chance to compete for Conference League.

Watford
They rank the nineteenth in the League table. They will probably degrade from the League this season. There are five points separating them from the seventeenth. They must try their best in the rest of this season to avoid relegation.

Verdict:
Wolves are slightly better than Watford at present. Up to eight key players of Watford are suspend due to injuries, which weakens their playing. And Wolves have home advantage. So Wolves are more likely to win in the coming match.

Over/Under Goal: Under 2.25

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Brighton & Hove Albion:
Sanchez; Veltman, Dunk, Duffy; Lamptey, Moder, Bissouma, Gross, Cucurella; Trossard, Maupay

Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Keita; Salah, Mane, Diaz

We could expect an interesting match when Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Liverpool to the Amex Stadium on Saturday lunchtime. The Seagulls are in poor form at the moment, losing the last four matches in the Premier League. They sit in the lower part of the table with 33 points and I believe the fans are not satisfied. The actual form could be evaluated as bad - as I wrote they have four defeats in a row in the Premier League. The series started with a 2:0 loss to Manchester United, continued with home defeats to Burnley and Aston Villa, while in the last match Brighton suffered a painful defeat to Newcastle. It is clear Brighton have a problem at the moment. The atmosphere in the squad isn't at desired level, while the players confidence is low. However, the situation is not critical as they are 12 points away from the drop zone. Manager Graham Potter will be without Adam Webster due to a groin injury, while Enock Mwepu and Jeremy Sarmiento are going well with their recoveries from thigh issues and both could be in contention to feature this weekend. The former Liverpool player Adam Lallana and Yves Bissouma could start in the midfield, while Neal Maupay and Danny Welbeck are looking for a starting place in attack.

Liverpool are very successful in the last period. The Reds managed to win the Carabao Cup and secured quarter-finals in the Champions League. The Merseysiders also advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a 2:1 win over Norwich City. Klopp's men are good in the Premier League too. They have recorded victories on the last seven matches, beating Brentford, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Burnley, Norwich, Leeds and West Ham. Liverpool are six points behind leaders Manchester City with a game in hand, and every match now is like a final. On Tuesday they lost 1:0 to Inter Milan in the Champions League, but secured progress as they won 2:0 on the first match. Klopp tried to minimize the damage, though every defeat have a negative impact. The majority of his players are ready. Thiago Alcantara has recovered from his hamstring injury and played against Inter Milan in the Champions League. Roberto Firmino is back to full training and there is a chance that the Brazilian striker will be back in the squad this weekend. Defender Ibrahima Konate sustained a knock earlier in the week and is rated as doubtful. Some changes can be expected after the match with Inter and ahead of a trip to Arsenal next week.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool Prediction:

Liverpool have huge issues against Brighton in the last period. The Seagulls have no defeat on the last three mutual games. Potter's men drew 2:2 at Anfield at the end of October and could easily have won it. They are not afraid of big names and I think they will score in this match. Liverpool showed some defensive issues on the last three matches. The Reds failed to keep clean sheet against Norwich and Inter, but were extremely lucky not to concede from West Ham, it is unbelievable what Pablo Fornals and Manuel Lanzini have missed. Liverpool are in series of seven victories in the Premier League and I expect goals from both sides.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool Pick:
Both teams to score - Yes @ 1.83 with Betfair

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Crystal Palace:
Guaita; Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Gallagher, Kouyate, Schlupp; Olise, Mateta, Zaha

Manchester City:
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Foden, Grealish

Crystal Palace welcome the reigning champions to Selhurst Park in the last match of the round on Monday night. The Eagles enter the game on the back of a 2:0 success at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Jean-Philippe Mateta and Wilfried Zaha found the back of the net at Moulinex. They are sitting on the 11th position before the weekend's fixtures kick off, with 33 points. Palace have won seven, drawn 12 and lost nine matches in the Premier League. Their ambitions are not connect with Europa, so their only target is to stay away from the relegation battle. The actual form is very good, two wins and one draw on the last three league matches. The Eagles managed to beat Watford and Wolves, while shared the points with Burnley. The atmosphere in the squad is positive, while the players confidence is high. Manager Patrick Vieira is doing an excellent job and I believe the fans are satisfied. The Frenchman will try to maintain the positive series, but he has some issues as few important players are struggling with injuries. Defender Nathan Ferguson remain sidelined with a thigh issue, while James McArthur's knock is set to keep him out of this match. Finally, Joel Ward is rated as doubtful with a groin problem.

Manchester City are the leaders in the Premier League. They have 69 points, three more than second-placed Liverpool who won at Brighton yesterday. The actual form is good, four victories on the last five Premier League matches. As I said many times, they are the most consistent side. Manager Pep Guardiola is doing a fantastic job and the fans are pleased with his work. In the last round they beat Manchester United with 4:1. Kevin de Bruyne was at the key name on the match. He put City ahead with a crisp early finish after five minutes, then restored their lead before half-time after Jadon Sancho put United level. City continued with the efficiency in the second half and got the goal their vast superiority deserved after 68 minutes when Riyad Mahrez met De Bruyne's corner on the half-volley to beat United keeper David de Gea. In the closing moments of the match Mahrez scored his second goal for the final 4:1. Manchester City also secured the quarter-finals of the Champions League after played a goalless draw with Sporting. it was a big surprise, but a 5:0 win from the first leg was enough for progress. Guardiola has most of his players available for this match, but Ruben Dias remains out injured. In addition, Joao Cancelo, Cole Palmer and Nathan Ake are rated as doubtful for Monday's game.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Prediction:

Crystal Palace shocked the champions with a 2:0 away win back in October, showing they are capable to upset every team in the Premier League. But I think Manchester City won't repeat the mistake. Pep's men will enter the match fully motivated and they will not underestimate the opponents. Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne were rested during the midweek, while Riyad Mahrez has played only 45 minutes. I believe the Citizens will win this match. Since the odds for the straight victory are low, I will take handicap - City to win with at least two goals.
