Liverpool v Crystal Palace

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Preview

Liverpool had to make do with a point on the weekend in the Premier League after being held to a 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford but nevertheless this result extended Liverpool's unbeaten run in the English top flight to eight matches overall including six wins, while Crystal Palace's winless run in the domestic top tier stretched to five games following a heavy 4-2 loss at home to Manchester City, making it three defeats in five games for The Eagles.

Six wins within Liverpool's last eight games have helped maintain Jurgen Klopp's sides' claims for a possible Premier League title this season but The Reds are just one of three clubs vying for the domestic top flight crown this season alongside Arsenal and Manchester City.

Home wins against Burnley, Luton Town, Brighton and Sheffield United should give Liverpool the necessary momentum to grab all three points this time at Anfield which has become a fortress (Liverpool last tasted defeat at home way back in October 2022), whilst the bigger picture shows The Reds have lost just once in their previous 24 games overall.

16 wins within these last 24 games suggest Liverpool should be too strong for Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon and 15 of these 24 games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.

Crystal Palace by contrast slumped to a fifth game without a win in the Premier League last weekend when they were dealt a 4-2 defeat at home by title-chasing Manchester City at Selhurst Park and this recent loss follows previous defeats at the hands of Tottenham and Bournemouth respectively.

Oli Glasner's side have managed to pick up points by way of draws with the likes of fellow strugglers, Luton Town and Nottingham Forest, but The Eagles look to have their work well and truly cut out as they prepare for Sunday's trip to merseyside to take on a confident and in-form Liverpool outfit at their Anfield fortress.

The bigger picture shows Crystal Palace have managed to muster a total of just three wins from their previous 20 matches overall in the Premier League and it's interesting to note that each of these three victories were achieved on home soil at Selhurst Park.

This of course means that results away from home have been poor where palace have been concerned and sure enough, the London club have failed to win any of their last 10 outings on the road, slipping to six defeats within this period which does not bode well for a visit to Anfield on Sunday, but six of these 10 away games have also produced three goals or more.
