Crystal Palace vs Manchester City

Premier League play resumes today after the international break. City, the two-time defending champions, are a distant second to this season’s presumptive champions Liverpool. Palace are sixth but so crowded is the middle of the table that they would pass City with a win.

In earlier matches Swine Chelsea and Lester got late goals to win and the agony of Mauricio Pochettino was little relieved at the magnificent Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a 1-1 draw with Watford. It took Delle Alli’s strike in the 86’ to get even that.

The NFL is going to expand some day to England and when it does the team will play in Spurs’ stadium. (Name the franchise “England” or “Great Britain,” not “London.”)
