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.

2: Luka Milivojevic plays a defence splitting pass to Wilfried Zaha who takes it past the Newcastle defence but Jamaal Lascelles does well to make a tackle before Zaha pulls the trigger.

5: Newcastle launch a series of crosses into the box which Wayne Hennessey punches clear. The visitors recycle the ball and Dwight Gayle turns and shoots but his half volley is straight at the goalkeeper.

9: Patrick van Aanholt drives forward and finds Christain Benteke who looks through on goal. A heavy touch invites Paul Dummet the chance to close him down and put him off as Karl Darlow blocks his shot and Palace win a corner.

15: DeAndre Yedlin swings a low cross from the right which is met by Ayoze Perez at the front post who flicks the ball towards goal but Wanye Hennessey is well placed to make a save.

Crystal Palace 0-1 Newcastle

22: Kenedy hits a low corner towards the back post and Mohamed Diame is completely unmarked and has the simple task of tapping the ball in. That's awful marking from the home side who concede first goal again, no team has conceded first more times in the Premier League than Palace.
