Teams Preview
Crystal Palace Preview
Crystal Palace head into this fixture under considerable pressure, having suffered three consecutive Premier League defeats. After a heavy 5-0 loss away to Brighton, the Eagles were beaten 2-0 at home by Newcastle before suffering another 2-0 defeat against Tottenham in the London derby last weekend.
To make matters worse, Jean-Philippe Mateta was sent off against Spurs and will miss the upcoming fixture.Their attacking struggles have been particularly worrying, with Palace failing to score in any of those three outings. They have managed just nine goals in nine league matches this season while conceding 21, leaving them with one of the weakest defensive records in the division.
Their underlying defensive numbers are equally concerning, having conceded an average of 2.09 expected xG across their last five league outings.
However, Palace can take some encouragement from their 1-0 Carabao Cup victory over Fulham. A positive result in their midweek Europa League clash against Hoffenheim could also provide a timely boost ahead of the weekend encounter.
Crystal Palace have faced the joint-most defeats in the league this season (6).
Crystal Palace have registered just two wins from their last 16 Premier League fixtures.
The Eagles have lost their last three league games by a margin of two or more goals.
Team News
Crystal Palace will be without Ismaïla Sarr and Takehiro Tomiyasu, in addition to their existing long-term absentees. Jean-Philippe Mateta is also unavailable, with the striker set to serve a suspension.
Crystal Palace Probable starting Lineup
Henderson (GK); Richards, Disasi, Canvot, Mingueza, Kamada, Wharton, Mitchell, Pino, McNeil, Nketiah.
Liverpool FC Preview
Liverpool will head into Matchday 10 determined to bounce back from their defeat to Arsenal and sharpen an attack that struggled to make its chances count at Anfield. The loss also ended their 13-match unbeaten home run against the Gunners in the Premier League, with Arsenal recording their first league win at Anfield in 14 years.
Ironically, Liverpool had enough opportunities to preserve that record, registering 17 shots without a single effort on target. They also recorded 28 touches inside Arsenal's box in the first half alone, the most any team has managed against the Gunners in the league this season.
Despite the setback, Liverpool can take some comfort from the fact that both their league defeats this season have come against the teams currently occupying the top two spots. They will now be hoping to respond positively, just as they did after their earlier loss to Manchester City.
Liverpool have registered just four goals at Anfield in the league this season, which is the joint- fewest that the Reds have managed after five home matches.
Having no shots on target against Arsenal was the first instance since the 2002-03 season that Liverpool had gone without a shot on target in a league game at Anfield.
Liverpool are on a three-match winning streak in away league games.
Team News
Liverpool also have several injury concerns heading into the fixture, with Hugo Ekitiké, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Jeremie Frimpong all expected to miss the trip to Selhurst Park.
Liverpool Probable starting Lineup
Alisson (GK); Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Barcola, Wirtz, Gakpo, Isak.
CRYSTAL PALACE vs LIVERPOOL FC
Winning PredictionLiverpool head into this encounter as favourites, boasting a strong record against Crystal Palace and having won their last three away games. They also claimed a convincing 3-1 victory in their most recent Premier League meeting.
However, Palace can draw confidence from their 2-1 win in this exact fixture last season and the fact that they have avoided defeat in four of the last five meetings across all competitions. While those records offer some hope for the hosts, their recent form remains far from convincing. We fancy Liverpool to have too much quality for Palace and come away with all three points.
