Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Chelsea – Saturday
Round 24 begins from the Amex Stadium, as Brighton looks to snap a five-match winless run in the Premier League. Chris Hughton’s side are three points clear of the relegation zone and know they need to start picking up points to avoid a drop into the bottom three.
Glenn Murray (six goals), will look to help the Seagulls fly against one of England’s big boys. Chelsea have drawn four of their last five matches in all competitions, and are coming off a penalty shootout win over Norwich in an F.A. Cup replay.
Antonio Conte’s side have some pretty comfortable league matches coming up, so maximum points are a must. Alvaro Morata (10 league goals), will look to snap a six-match goalless drought on Saturday.
Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace – Saturday
The Gunners are in sixth place but have not tasted victory in their last five matches overall. With Alexis Sanchez set to leave London for Manchester, Alexandre Lacazette is the man to shine for Arsene Wenger’s team.
The French striker has eight goals this season, and will look to get after a sluggish Palace backline. Palace have moved up to 12th after back-to-back wins and will look to go at Arsenal, away from home.
Ivorian playmaker Wilfried Zaha, leads the team with four goals and is always a dangerous threat from counter attacks.
