Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool

Saturday lunchtime beckons a battle for the top spot in the Premier League table, with Liverpool journeying south to confront Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Liverpool dealt a 2-0 blow to Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United comeback midweek, contrasting with Palace’s discontent in the capital following their identical scoreline loss to Bournemouth.

Christmas joy is scarce at Selhurst Park, where Roy Hodgson’s squad faced boos and an alleged bottle throw from the stands after a disappointing home loss to Bournemouth. Marcos Senesi and Kieffer Moore’s headers, on either side of halftime, marked Palace’s third defeat in four games during a challenging winter period. Hodgson, frustrated, criticized “spoiled” fans, many leaving early after Moore’s decisive header.

What to remember – Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool

Injury concerns linger for both teams, yet Liverpool boasts ample alternatives for their sidelined players. In contrast, Doucoure and Eze are considered irreplaceable assets for Palace.

Under significant pressure, Hodgson’s squad must deliver a resilient performance this weekend. However, even a satisfactory rebound from Wednesday’s loss might not suffice to thwart Liverpool’s ascent to the top of the standings.
