With the arrival of Austrian Oliver Glasner at the helm of the “Glassblowers,” Crystal Palace managed to establish a decent foothold just above the relegation zone. Not long ago, Crystal Palace surprised everyone by defeating Liverpool away with a score of 1-0. The victory against the “Reds” ended Crystal Palace’s unbeaten streak, which had lasted for five matches. Last weekend, Oliver Glasner’s team again secured three points by defeating West Ham 5-2 at home. The fate of this match was essentially decided in the first half, as by the 31st minute, the hosts were leading by four goals. Overall, in their last five home matches, the “Glassblowers” recorded two victories, with the same number of defeats and one draw
The “Magpies” pleasantly surprised last season when they finished in the top four and earned the right to play in the Champions League. It’s worth noting that Newcastle lacked the strength for the main European competition, despite starting very well by defeating PSG at home. However, in the end, the “Magpies” didn’t even advance from the group stage. On the other hand, being eliminated from European competitions allowed the “black and whites” to focus on their domestic league, and they improved their position in the standings. In their last match, Newcastle hosted Tottenham and secured a significant 4-0 victory. Tottenham are direct competitors with Newcastle in the league table. Currently, Newcastle sits in sixth place with 50 points, while Tottenham have 10 points more. In their last four matches, Newcastle has secured three victories and only dropped points in one match, drawing at home against Everton.
