Recent Form
Palace hold a bit of a reputation for causing the bigger teams trouble, with their counter-attacking style well suited to facing the better sides.
Liverpool themselves have bad memories of facing the Eagles with a late trio of goals producing a 3-3 stalemate at his venue back in May 2014, dubbed “Crystanbul”, which drove in the final nail for the Reds’ forlorn title bid under Brendan Rodgers.
The Reds also only just squeaked past Roy Hodgson’s men the last time they met at Anfield back in January, winning 4-3 after late goals for either side, though it’s worth noting that Palace’s best results against the top outfits have come on the road.
Since the start of last season, the Eagles have gone W3-D3-L11 when facing the ‘Big Six’, though 11 of the 12 points they picked up over this period came away from Selhurst Park.
Liverpool To Win And Both Teams To Score
Of course, Liverpool are a different beast these days and have won six of the last seven head-to-heads at all venues.
Although they only kept two clean sheets across these, their form this season should put anyone off backing the hosts to claim another scalp.
Jurgen Klopp’s charges may have conceded in seven of their past 10 road trips since mid-March, but it hasn’t stopped them taking maximum points in all but one of those games as Man Utd held them to a draw at Old Trafford.
In further bad news for the Eagles, they’ve lost three of four winless matches heading into this fixture, conceding exactly twice in each.
These may have been tough encounters with Man City, Arsenal, Leicester and Chelsea, but Liverpool will provide just as stern if not a greater test than those sides. Even if Palace were to land a blow, the visitors will expect to outgun them nonetheless.
Injury Concerns For Both Teams
Hodgson has a slight concern with talisman Wilfried Zaha having picked up a foot injury in their last outing, though the 27-year-old trickster was fit enough to join up with the Ivory Coast squad over the break, though with just the two assists and zero goals to his name so far, he hasn’t been at his best this season in any case.
It’s Klopp who has the greater problems mounting with a growing injury list, but that should be a problem for the coming weeks amid a hectic schedule rather than affecting them in this fixture.
Mo Salah has been struggling a little with an ankle complaint but is expected to be fit enough for the bench at least, while Divock Origi has often delivered the goods when called upon to step in for one of the fab three up top.
Andrew Robertson has also had a slight issue with his ankle but is only a doubt, though Liverpool have a plethora of steady midfield options and James Milner can be relied upon to put in a shift at left-back if required.
Should Jordan Henderson not recover from a virus in time, the form of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum should ensure they cope fine in the centre of the park.
Joel Matip has been out of action for a month now and is potentially joined on the sidelines by Joe Gomez, but the German coach can still call upon Dejan Lovren to partner key man Virgil van Dijk at the heart of his defence.
Liverpool To Win 2-1
The most common scoreline Liverpool have produced on their travels since the start of last season has been the 2-1 victory, with a third of their 18 wins over this period finishing by that exact score.
At all venues in the current campaign, they’ve conceded exactly once in 10 of their 12 matches, with five of these finishing 2-1.
Given the current league leaders have only once won by more than a single goal in their six road trips to date, the correct score holds considerable appeal.
