Crystal Palace v Liverpool

Palace go into the game 19th in the table with seven points from nine games and badly need a result at home. Liverpool are sixth, but they were beaten 1-0 by leaders Arsenal at Anfield last weekend and are already 12 points off the top. Statistical models make Liverpool clear favourites, with around a 61% chance of an away win.

Sunderland v Chelsea

Chelsea start the day fourth on 16 points and can move level with third-placed Brighton depending on results. Sunderland are bottom with five points and one win all season, but the Stadium of Light has been a tough place for visitors before.
