Crystal Palace vs Liverpool: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 31st March 2018
Kick off at 12.30pm BST
Venue: Selhurst Park

Match Preview:

The Premier League is back after the international break and the first match to be played will be between Crystal Palace and Liverpool. The home side are just two points above the relegation zone and before the break they were able to end a 4 game losing streak by going to Huddersfield and winning 2-0. Perhaps then the break came at the wrong time for Roy Hodgson’s team. The Eagles have won just 1 home match this year and 4 all season.

Liverpool will be the odds on favourites to win this match and they come here in 3rd place. Their main ambition now will be to automatically qualify for the Champions League and keep Tottenham in 4th spot at bay. The Reds are in great form having gained 22 points from their last 10 matches and in particular striker Mohamed Salah is on fire, with 28 goals he is the league’s top scorer taking over Harry Kane. Liverpool have the 3rd best away record in the league but have lost 2 of their last 4 matches on the road.
