  1. The Eagles...published at 13:18 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January 2022

    Crystal Palace v Liverpool (14:00 GMT)

    Conor Gallagher has been directly involved in 10 Premier League goals in 18 appearances for Crystal Palace. Andrew Johnson is the only Eagles player ever to reach double figures in fewer games.

    Palace have only won twice in 10 league games and are in danger of losing successive home fixtures for the first time under Patrick Vieira.

    Their current 10-match scoring streak at home is the club's second longest in the top flight after a run of 12 games from February to October 1990.

    Christian Benteke has scored six Premier League goals against Liverpool. He scored nine times in 29 top-flight appearances for the Reds in 2015-16.

    Billy Reid said Brighton will try to keep things as familiar as possible today, despite manager Graham Potter testing positive for Covid-19.

    When asked how Potter will influence the game while isolating at home, Reid said: “We’re not too sure how that will work yet, but I will certainly be linked up to him.

    “I was a manager in Scotland for eight years so I know what to expect. Nothing will change too much, we’ll try and keep things normal.

    "I never had to do it [fill in for Potter] in Swansea but I did in Sweden, so it is a bit of deja vu. I think we won one and lost one.

    "Obviously, this is the Premier League so it is a big step up - but I have worked alongside Graham for almost nine years.

    "I knew from my first impression that he was a real thinker of football. His man management of players is fantastic. It has been a real learning curve for me too."

    Burnley have had to watch teams around them pick up points in recent weeks while they have had several games postponed due to Covid-19 cases and injuries.

    It means they have dropped to the bottom of the table - though they have five games in hand on Norwich, the closest team outside the drop zone.

    A win today would see Sean Dyche's side move level on points with Watford.

    Meanwhile, Arsenal can move as high as fourth place. though that is dependent on the Chelsea v Tottenham result later (16:30 kick-off).
