Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Predictions
An out-of-form Crystal Palace welcome Liverpool to Selhurst Park in Sunday's Premier League contest.
The Eagles have suffered three successive league defeats, while Liverpool look for a fourth away win of the season.
I expect the Reds to get back to winning form with at least two goals scored.
Reds Backed to Claim Away Victory
- Crystal Palace lost 6 of their last 9 matches (Premier League)
- Crystal Palace conceded 2+ goals in 5 of their last 7 matches
- Liverpool won 7 of their last 9 away matches against Crystal Palace
- Liverpool won 3 of their last 4 away matches (Premier League)
- Liverpool scored 2+ goals in 5 of their last 7 matches
Liverpool Edge Recent H2H Record
Crystal Palace and Liverpool have met on 15 occasions since 2020. Liverpool claimed eight victories while Crystal Palace picked up three wins. Four matches finished as draws.
Liverpool secured a 3-1 home victory in their most recent contest in April.
Crystal Palace Struggling for Results
Crystal Palace return to Premier League action after a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim in Thursday's Europa League contest at Selhurst Park.
Alexander Prass gave Hoffenheim a seventh-minute lead, but despite Adam Wharton's second-half dismissal, Palace rescued a point through Daichi Kamada's stoppage-time equaliser.
The Eagles just about deserved their point in another less-than-stellar display at Selhurst Park.
Pierre Sage's side enjoyed slightly more possession (55%-45%), but were outshot 15-13 by their German opponents. Both teams registered five efforts on target.
Final xG totals reflected the evenly balanced nature of Thursday's contest. Hoffenheim recorded a 1.25 xG total compared to Palace's 1.05.
The out-of-form Eagles have now failed to win six of their last seven games across all competitions.
Recent Premier League performances have been particularly poor. Palace lost their last three matches, conceding nine goals without scoring in defeats against Tottenham and Newcastle (both 2-0) and Brighton (5-0).
Those disappointing results have seen Palace slip to 18th in the table, with just seven points collected from nine games.
Liverpool Stunned in Istanbul
Liverpool make the trip to London after a shock 3-2 Champions League defeat against Fenerbahce on Wednesday.
Trey Nyoni gave Liverpool an early lead before Mason Greenwood equalised shortly afterwards.
Alexander Isak restored the Reds' advantage in the second half, but Archie Brown levelled before Vedat Muriqi completed a dramatic comeback victory for the Turkish hosts.
The Reds now return to Premier League action wondering how they failed to take something from Wednesday's contest.
Andoni Iraola's side dominated possession (68%-32%) and registered 22 shots compared to Fenerbahce's 17.
Wednesday's defeat came on the back of a frustrating 1-0 home loss against EPL champions Arsenal last weekend.
The Reds had previously claimed successive league victories against Brighton (2-0) and Brentford (2-1), having lost just one of their previous 13 matches before last week's back-to-back defeats.
Liverpool now sit fifth in the Premiership, with 15 points collected from nine games.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Team News
Crystal Palace: (3-4-2-1) Dean Henderson; Jeremy Canvot, Chris Richards, Honest Ahanor; Oscar Mingueza, Adam Wharton, Quinten Timber, Tyrick Mitchell; Daichi Kamada, Yeremy Pino; Eddie Nketiah.
Palace boss Pierre Sage is expected to make changes to his first XI after Thursday's 1-1 Europa League draw against Hoffenheim.
Jean-Philippe Mateta started against Hoffenheim but is suspended for Sunday's Premier League clash.
Chadi Riad also remains sidelined with a knee injury.
Axel Disasi was omitted from Thursday's squad, and it remains to be seen if the former Chelsea defender will feature this weekend.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's clash, Sage acknowledged Liverpool's quality:
"First of all, recovery, and we have to build the gameplan because it's a crazy team with really good players. They lost their two last games. I think they will come with a lot of ambition and we have to deal with that."
Liverpool: (4-2-3-1) Alisson; Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez; Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister; Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola; Alexander Isak.
Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola could rotate his side following Wednesday's 3-2 Champions League defeat at Fenerbahce.
Alexander Isak is pushing for a starting recall after scoring as a substitute in Istanbul. Cody Gakpo and Florian Wirtz also appeared from the bench and will expect to come back into the first XI this weekend.
Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike remain sidelined with various injury issues while Ryan Gravenberch will be assessed ahead of kick-off.
Speaking after Wednesday's 3-2 defeat at Fenerbahce, Iraola blamed his side's poor defending at set pieces:
"The main reason that I can find for why we lost this game is we conceded from three set pieces. It's something that we were doing very well in the league; we were doing quite well until today.
"We knew it was one of the strengths of Fenerbahce. We concede from a free-kick, a corner and even from the long throw at the end.
"They're goals that have hurt us because we've gone twice in front after having good moments, controlling the game, arriving. We've found the goals, but after we've conceded in situations, we should definitely defend better."
Verdict
Crystal Palace have struggled badly in recent weeks, conceding nine goals in three successive Premier League defeats.
Liverpool have lost their last two matches, but should return to winning ways at a venue that has proved fruitful in recent seasons.
I'm backing Liverpool to win at Selhurst Park, with over 1.5 goals my second selection.
