The teams in the hunt are the usual suspects 4th placed Chelsea, 5th Arsenal and Manchester United, who have climbed to 7th spot despite disastrous performances to start the season. It\u2019s no surprise to see the aforementioned clubs fighting for European qualification, but there are two teams that shouldn\u2019t be up there and therefore two teams that are nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Namely, overachieving this season have been 3rd placed Leicester City and 6th Crystal Palace, who have effectively replaced Tottenham Hotspur and Everton in the battle for continental competition. Admittedly, Leicester has been bubbling under for a while and were generally predicted to challenge the top six spot \u2013 but definitely not expected to upend the chelseas and arsenals of the league. Leicester are in good position to keep at least their top-4 spot, despite Chelsea breathing down their neck. The Foxes have outscored every other team than Manchester City (although nine goals against Southampton plays a big part) and are no. 1 in goals conceded, tied with Liverpool and Sheffield United.<\/p>\n<p>Crystal Palace has surprised many, having pulled some great results on their way to sixth place. Manager Roy Hodgson is known for his emphasis on defense, but Crystal Palace has not exactly been stalwart in the defense. They\u2019ve allowed 12 goals in 10 games, while only scoring 10. While Palace is hanging in there, with those numbers they\u2019re very likely to fall back a couple of spots \u2013 no matter how well Hodgson organizes the defense.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest disappointments so far have definitely been Tottenham and Everton. Spurs had high hopes after highly successful last season but they\u2019ve failed miserably \u2013 so far. The quality is still there, but something is amiss: dynamic Dele Alli has been abysmal all season, playmaker Christian Eriksen is barely visible and the whole defensive line looks out of sync, in addition to Hugo Lloris\u2019 injury. There\u2019s still time to correct the course, but it needs to be soon or Pochetino\u2019s project will be down the drain and the architect himself with it. Conveniently, Spurs get their chance of redemption against another underachiever, Everton.<\/p>\n<p>Everton has been touted the next big six challenger for ages, but they\u2019re yet to deliver. This season has been an absolute nightmare despite some \u00a3100M spent on players during the summer. Manager Marco Silva has struggled to find a working eleven to suit his system and the results have been terrible: Everton is effectively in the relegation battle, behind the likes of Brighton, Aston Villa and Burnley. Marco Silva is on hot coals exactly like his next opponent\u2019s boss, Mauricio Pochettino.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dafabc.net\/en\/join\/sports?btag=625071\"><strong style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Dafabet offers<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dafabc.net\/en\/join\/sports?btag=625071\"><strong style=\"color:#EAB922\">Crystal Palace vs Leicester City (1&#215;2): 3.45 \u2013 3.25 \u2013 2.16<br \/>\nEverton vs Tottenham (1&#215;2): 2.65 \u2013 3.40 \u2013 2.57<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While the two mainstays on top of the Premier League table, Liverpool and Manchester City tussle over the title, behind the duo it\u2019s as close as ever.
