Liverpool to Continue

The game will be played at Selhurst Park and the hosts begin the weekend in 13th place on 24 points while the visitors are in 2nd place on 45 points.

Crystal Palace come into the match having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend.

The Eagles were well placed to take maximum points having opened the scoring in the 69th minute but Brighton scored the equalising goal with only 3 minutes remaining on the clock.

That result means Crystal Palace have remained undefeated in 3 of their last 4 games in all competitions. They have recorded wins over Norwich City at home in the Premier League and Millwall away from home in the FA Cup.

The defeat came at home against West Ham United in the Premier League although Crystal Palace fought back well from 3-0 down.

Form in the Premier League shows Crystal Palace have been struggling to win games of late and they have recorded just a single victory from their last 5 league matches. In fact, Crystal Palace have won only 2 of their 10 most recent Premier League fixtures.

However, trends show Crystal Palace are unbeaten in 9 of their last 11 home all competitions games and have scored at least one goal in each of their last 10 on home soil.

Liverpool make the trip to London having progressed to the final of the League Cup thanks to a good 2-0 win at Arsenal on Thursday night. The Reds were the better team for much of the match and deserved to go through.

That result means Liverpool are undefeated in their 5 most recent games in all competitions. They have picked up victories over Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup and Brentford in the Premier League. There have also been draws at Chelsea in the Premier League and Arsenal at home in the League Cup.

Form in the Premier League shows Liverpool are undefeated in 9 of their last 10 games. Both teams have scored in 4 of their last 6 away league matches.
