The EPL table has Liverpool in first place and the Reds are leading the English Premier League over Chelsea as they have a matchup looming on the Barclays schedule for Sunday and those two teams are ahead of Manchester City, Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham and Manchester United with just a couple weeks left on the schedule.

Manchester United has had a very tough season and they just sacked manager David Moyes, while Jose Mourinho is still dealing with his first loss at home at Stamford Bridge after a stunning upset from Sunderland. Liverpool has been at the top of the league standings for the back stretch of the season and they have taken hold of things heading into the Chelsea match, as they are now five points ahead and that leaves the Blues scrambling as they will matchup at Anfield on Sunday.

Chelsea had the chance to remain two points back, but they couldn't get the victory and now Luis Suarez leads his team as they try to clinch the EPL trophy. The fixtures over the weekend has Chelsea visiting Liverpool on Sunday and some of the Saturday matches include Everton and Southampton, while Manchester United and Norwich City are playing the late game after West Ham and West Brom.

The Sunday matches have Crystal Palace and Man City as the later match, while Liverpool and Chelsea will be in the middle and that comes after the Sunderland and Cardiff City game. Liverpool comes in as the highest scoring team with the highest scoring player in Suarez and they also have Raheem Sterling playing very well and now they will try and win over Chelsea. The team comes in after another away win against Norwich and now they have won 11 in a row and have gone 16 matches without losing and they have the chance to continue that, as they play Chelsea, Crystal Palace and then finish the season at Anfield against Newcastle.

Chelsea comes in after the away draw against Atletico in the Champions League and that was a crucial result and before that was the 2-1 loss against Sunderland. Now the team has a big hill to climb and they have the second leg of the UCL coming up after the Liverpool match and then they finish the season with Norwich City at home and Cardiff City on the road.
