Middling squad Crystal Palace FC (6-5-1, 19 points) and bottom-three team Sunderland AFC (1-8-3, 6 points) will face each other at the Selhurst Park on November 23rd, Monday for a 2015-2016 Premier League season encounter.
Crystal Palace turned back a tough challenge from Liverpool to pull off a close 2-1 road victory at the Anfield on November 8th, as reported by The Guardian.
Eagles winger Yannick Bolasie scored the opening goal for Alan Pardew's side at the 21st minute, but the Reds' Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho equalized it at the 42nd to keep the game tied at halftime.
It was a seesaw battle in the second half until Palace defender Scott Dann netted the winner at the 82nd to lift his team with an additional three points in the overall standings while dropping Liverpool at the 10th spot.
Sunderland continues to struggle with its second consecutive loss after the 0-1 nipping it took versus Southampton at the Stadium of Light on November 7th, via the Telegraph.
The Saints' Dusan Tadic provided the lone goal of the match with a penalty kick at the 69th while Sam Allardyce's boys were unable to find the back of the net in the whole 90 minutes.
The Black Cats had only found victory once in their last six matches to dwell at second to the last place with only Aston Villa under them having five points.
The prediction is a 2-0 victory for Crystal Palace. Sunderland's losing slide will go to three while the Eagles begin a winning run of their own.
