Your support makes all the difference.There are huge games at the top and bottom of the Premier League table today, as Crystal Palace host Newcastle before top-four chasing Tottenham travel to Liverpool.
Andros Townsend will come up against his former team in the early kick-off, as Palace look to get back to winning ways against relegation rivals Newcastle. Both sides could move up to 11th with a win, but the losers will be left looking nervously over their shoulders at the bottom three.
And then the big one: Liverpool vs Tottenham. Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping his men can build on their incredibly impressive 2-0 victory over Manchester United earlier in the week. Meanwhile Liverpool are out for revenge – they lost the reverse fixture at Wembley 4-1. A win will keep the Reds in third and cut United’s lead in second to just three points.
