Tuesday and Premier League mood

Southampton vs Crystal Palace

Struggle for survival, I think in this match Saint are in better shape for win.

Saints boss Pellegrino said: “It is a massive game for us but we have to try to do really good to keep going from the performance against Manchester United.
“The Premier League is really tight and we need to gain three points, but Crystal Palace are getting better, they are improving a lot. For both teams it will be a massive game.”

Injury reports:
Southampton Ryan Bertrand the 28-year-old defender has been absent due to a hamstring problem but could be in contention on Tuesday. Charlie Austin remains unavailable due to suspension but the forward is also struggling with a hamstring injury.Cedric Soares (ankle) remains sidelined.
Crystal Palace are hopeful that they could see the return of Ruben Loftus-Cheek for their trip to the south coast.The midfielder was suffering from a knock and could have a place back in the side alongside James McArthur (knock) and Jeffrey Schlupp who are looking for a place in the squad.Jason Puncheon (knock) and Scott Dann (knee) were injured in the Manchester City draw and join Mamadou Sakho (calf muscle strain), Joel Ward (groin) and Connor Wickham (knee) on the sidelines.
West Ham vs WBA

Bad season for West Ham, they have new stadium, good team but very awful season so far. David Moyes came to save the club from relegation and we will see can he do it. In this game West Ham are favorite but WBA are good side and it will be very hard game for Moyes team, I think. 

David Moyes says he has been impressed with the response of his players since arriving at the Club a couple of months ago.
The Hammers are looking to climb out of the Premier League’s bottom three with victory against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday, following a December which saw them take eight points from six matches.
“I've got to say I'm really enjoying it here,” the manager said. “I've not enjoyed bits of the last couple of games but I'm enjoying being at the club.

“We are trying to raise the standards, we're trying to raise all the things to give us a chance of getting away from the wrong end of the table.”

Angry West Brom asked the Premier League to postpone Tuesday's trip to West Ham with the club fuming at playing twice in 48 hours.But Albion's complaints have fallen on deaf ears and manager Alan Pardew has made his feelings known.
He said: "It's terrible. We all know there's pressure on TV companies for ratings and everything else and games - I understand that. The league's got to be stronger and say two days is not right.''

Pardew also insisted he will have to make changes to his line-up because, otherwise, he would be putting his players' safety at risk.
"Of course I am. There's some players who won't be able to cope with that. I'd be putting them at risk. Matty Phillips for example - I wouldn't take Matty Phillips off against Arsenal) if I didn't have West Ham.''

Manchester City vs Watford
City are total favorite here, probably new win for Guardiola team but we will see.
The draw with the Eagles brought an end to City's staggering 18-match winning streak, but the boss is focused on his side's recovery after both Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne were struck with injury.
"We are going to lose games as players will get tired," Pep explained during his post-match press conference. "We have problems with [Benjamin] Mendy and other players, we just have to recover well and remain mentally strong.
"That is normal in football, now we set a record in Premier League but the next one we will try to beat.
"We are in December, there are lots of games to play."
