As we enter the business end of the 23/24 Premier League season, there are more and more matches at the bottom of the table that start to show promise.
Everton's 10-point deduction earlier this season was a massive blow for Sean Dyche and co, but some had predicted that it would create a siege mentality at Goodison Park. With the club just one point off safety, it's looking like they could actually survive relegation this season.
Despite Crystal Palace having arguably the strongest starting 11 they have had in decades, injuries and dropping points late have put them back in the relegation battle that they were hoping to avoid after a decade now in the top flight. It remains to be seen whether or not Roy Hodgson will be in charge for the game (it has been reported that he has been relieved from his duties but the club are waiting on his current health issues to calm before announcing so), but if Oliver Glasner is in charge on Monday night, or even just watching from the stands as the new manager, it might make quite the difference.
