The number one-ranked team in the English Premier League Liverpool travels to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace in an early kickoff match on Saturday. Liverpool are unbeaten in their last five matches and will be looking to extend their stay at the top to 18 points.
A win would give the Merseyside a 4-point lead over the reigning champions City and Arsenal who are yet to lose a game and have one game in hand.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace has not won a single game in the Premier League so far and is currently in the relegation zone with only three points. Even though Palace fought back to grab a point against Manchester United, Liverpool will present a bigger challenge.

Key Stats
Crystal Palace
In their previous match, Crystal Palace failed to beat Everton despite scoring first in the encounter. However, Palace will hope to repeat their shock win over Liverpool in April last season. The Selhurst club is winless in their last five games and will find it tough to even get a point against a cruising Liverpool currently leading in the Premier League.
The hosts will be without the services of former Arsenal defender Rob Holding, Chadi Riad, Christopher Richards, and Cheick Doucore. Trevoh Chalobah is likely to make his debut for Palace as Ismaila Sarr challenges Eddie Nketiah for a start-up front.
Expected lineup: Henderson, Lerma, Guehi, Lacroix, Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell, Nketiah, Mateta, and Eze.
Liverpool
Liverpool will be confident to continue their good run of form after getting a two-goal win over Bologna in the Champions League. Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister saw the back of the net on the charged encounter and will look to dominate Palace away. Liverpool have lost only once in the last five Premier League games.
The Reds will get a stronger lineup with the return of Darwin Nunez, Dioga Jota, and Andy Robertson who took part in their win against Bologna in the Champions League. However, the visitors will be without the services of the new arrivals, Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliot. Mohamed Salah is on the verge of making history by becoming the first Premier League player to score in a team’s first four away games in two seasons.
Expected lineup: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Diaz, Salah, and Jota.
Prediction
Despite their surprising victory in Anfield last season, Crystal Palace is unlikely to stop the Merseyside machine looking to maintain their top spot in the 2024/2025 Premier League table. Liverpool will take this match seriously after losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest, their only loss in the Premier League in the last five matches.
Final Pick
Liverpool(ML), -200
