Liverpool vs Crystal Palace: Odds, Lineups, Prediction and Bet Builder Tip

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Match Summary

Liverpool welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield on Saturday afternoon in a fixture that carries real weight for the hosts. A stoppage-time victory at Everton recently put Liverpool within touching distance of Champions League qualification, and three wins from their final five outings would seal a top-five finish.

Palace, though, will arrive with genuine confidence having already beaten Liverpool three times this season across the Community Shield, Carabao Cup and the reverse Premier League fixture. Oliver Glasner's side are more than capable of making life messy for the hosts once more, and with a Conference League semi-final looming next week, the question of how much Palace rotate could prove decisive.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Form

Liverpool head into this one buoyed by their dramatic derby win over Everton, but this has been a season to forget by their own standards. Of the last six Premier League encounters between these two sides, Liverpool have managed just one victory, drawing two and losing three, and Crystal Palace have avoided defeat in their last four visits to Anfield across all competitions. That said, Liverpool's home form remains their strongest card, and they will fancy their chances of turning the tide here with so much riding on the result.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Best Bets

Palace have caused Liverpool all kinds of problems this season, but at Anfield with Champions League qualification on the line, Arne Slot's side should have enough to edge this one.
