Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool: Simulating Crucial Premier League Tie on 'FIFA 14'

Liverpool need to provide a quick response. Manchester City took three points off Everton. Chelsea got a point against Norwich. The Reds now find themselves in second place and need a massive win to pile the pressure on the leaders with Chelsea not far behind them in third.

Goal difference is likely to be crucial as we head toward the season's conclusion, but can Brendan Rodgers' side claim their first title in the Premier League era? We fired a copy of FIFA 14 up on Xbox One to determine whether they will remain in the race for silverware.

Tony Pulis' Crystal Palace have impressed massively since the former Stoke boss grabbed hold of the reins. Relegation has barely been a threat, suggesting Liverpool have a tough test ahead of them.
