The team that excites me most is 10th-placed Crystal Palace. They have dropped only two points in the last 21, scoring 21 and shipping only four against the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United.
Since Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, and Jean-Philippe Mateta have gotten together, they have been unstoppable and endlessly creative. They are as good to watch going forward as any side right now.
I hope they keep the trio together at Selhurst Park, but if any top-level club outside Manchester City or Arsenal came in and offered stupid money to buy all three as a job lot, I would not blame them.
Along with midfielder Adam Wharton, they are like the Beatles. They could still be fabulous individually, but put them together, and they are untouchable.
