Our predictions for Crystal Palace v Liverpool in the Premier League, including who we think will win and predicted line-ups.
Jurgen Klopp has backed his players to learn from Liverpool’s heavy Champions League defeat to Real Madrid in midweek and their first chance to do so will come at Selhurst Park on Saturday evening.
The Reds led 2-0 but slumped to a 5-2 defeat at full time, which means bar a remarkable turnaround in the second leg the 2022/23 campaign will end trophyless for the Anfield outfit.
The top four is not out of reach just yet, however, and they can close the gap on Newcastle this weekend with a win against Crystal Palace.
Beating the Eagles at Selhurst Park is easier said than done, however. Real Madrid they are not but Patrick Vieira’s side have been a tough nut to crack on home turf recently – earning draws against Man Utd, Newcastle and Brighton – and they came within minutes of an impressive victory against Brentford last weekend.
In the Saturday evening slot, Crystal Palace and Liverpool are charged with providing some light entertainment – given the attackers likely to be on show, that shouldn’t be too much of an ask.

Crystal Palace v Liverpool prediction
Judging by Liverpool’s last few games, their trip to Selhurst Park should be proper Saturday night entertainment.
Palace have kept things pretty tight at home recently and it will be a real cauldron under the lights but as unconvincing as the Reds have been at times, their games have rarely been short of goals.
Both sets of attackers are going to get space to play but the visitors quality might just shine through as they look to bounce back from their woeful midweek defeat.
Our prediction: Crystal Palace 1-3 Liverpool (14/1 at bet365)
