Liverpool want to stay in the top flight!

Liverpool and home games at Anfield Road: there is often a lot on offer. The Reds will also be looking to put on a good game against Crystal Palace after their UEFA Champions League opener. But not all that glitters is gold yet. Some phases in the games so far have not been ideal.

Meanwhile, the visitors come in with a bit of momentum after their win against Tottenham. Nevertheless, in the run-up to the Liverpool vs Crystal Palace match, the odds clearly favour the hosts. The differences are too great in the squad, among other things.

With a newfound attacking spirit after the last game, however, the Eagles will be looking to surprise Liverpool. The only question is whether they will succeed. Kick-off at the venerable Anfield Road is at 4pm on Saturday afternoon.

FC Liverpool – Statistics & current form

Liverpool feel right at home at Anfield Road and that’s not just a flat statement. The Reds are a home power and also proved during the week in the Champions League in the 3-2 win over Milan what magic this stadium can exert. Now, of course, the next victory is to follow. Now it’s time for Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

The roles are different this time. Before the match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace, the betting odds show that the Reds are the heavy favourites. Milan could at least keep up to some extent, as far as the odds are concerned. The differences are not surprising, however, as Liverpool are among the candidates for the Premier League title. The Eagles from London mainly want to avoid relegation.

Crystal Palace is basically a welcome guest at Anfield Road. Liverpool have won their last eight games against the Eagles at home, with a goal difference of 24:5. That should not change in this game and in general the home record is absolutely outstanding with 14 games in a row without defeat.

Liverpool want to make sure things are clear

Naturally, the Eagles are a team that can also annoy renowned opponents. Liverpool, however, are a very special calibre in front of their home crowd. Even after an exhausting game in the Champions League, there should be a team on the pitch that can dominate Crystal Palace from the start.

Liverpool will again be on the offensive and will try to make things clear quickly. The Reds are the only team in the Premier League to have fired more than 100 shots on goal. If they add the necessary efficiency to this commitment, a high-scoring match is also conceivable.

That’s why, ahead of the Liverpool vs Crystal Palace match, our prediction is that the home side will win this match by more than a one-goal difference

Predicted Liverpool FC line-up:
Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson – Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago – Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Crystal Palace – Statistics & current form

Last week Crystal Palace played Tottenham at home in a London derby. The Eagles had a very good day and defended Spurs very well throughout the match. The match-winner was striker Edouard, who scored two goals as a wild card and scored with his first Premier League touch.

With this important victory, the Eagles jumped to eleventh place in the Premier League. It is important that the club from London stays in this region of the table. A slip into the relegation zone should be avoided, but the away task at the Reds is one of the most difficult in the entire season.

Four straight losses for Crystal Palace at Liverpool FCand there’s not too much reason for hope in this game either. There could even be a goal festival if the Eagles play along and Edouard keeps his form. Therefore, ahead of Liverpool vs Crystal Palace, our value tip is that more than 3.5 goals will be scored

Crystal Palace: With courage to surprise?

The game against Spurs showed that courage can also pay off. At least when it is accompanied by a good defensive performance. But that is exactly what can become a problem against Liverpool. The Reds are not only traditionally accurate against Crystal Palace, but can also cause problems for any defensive line when they pick up the pace.

So for the Eagles, this game will be a test of sorts. How much can Crystal Palace already match up against a top team that is also in top form? Even a defeat would not be a disaster. Facing Liverpool at Anfield Road can be very bitter in any case, as the record of the last few years shows. That’s why, ahead of Liverpool’s match against Crystal Palace, our tip is that the hosts will win by more than a one-goal difference

Predicted line-up of Crystal Palace:
Guaita – Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell – Kouyaté, Gallagher, McArthur – Ayew, Zaha, Benteke

FC Liverpool – Crystal Palace Tip

But not only a simple win for the Reds is possible, rather a clear result is also conceivable, because no team fired more shots in the Premier League than the host. That is also an indication. Therefore, before the match Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace, our forecast at fair odds is that the Reds will win by more than one goal
