Newcastle - Leeds: Holding each other is not a disaster

Crystal Palace - West Ham: "The big bang" broke the wing
23 points and 13th place are enough to say that the current goal of the Selhurst Park team is only to stay in the league. Like Leeds, Palace have 19 games to earn 17 points, so it is uncertain whether they will need to play dead to earn 3 points against the rising team like West Ham.
The "Hamels" are currently in 7th place and have publicly announced their intention to play in the European Cup next season. The recent form of David Moyes and his team has been very impressive, remaining unbeaten in the last 5 matches, including 3 wins.
