Crystal Palace-Liverpool is a match valid for the 16th day of the Premier League and is played on Saturday at 1:30 pm: TV, lineups, predictions.
Liverpool has the opportunity to look down on everyone for a few hours until Arsenal takes the field, engaged in the last of Saturday’s early fixtures against Aston Villa in what is the big match of the day.
In the midweek Premier League round that has just ended, Jurgen Klopp’s men scored a comfortable victory (0-2) at home to disastrous Sheffield United, extending their positive series between the league and Europa League to five games and at the same time preventing the Gunners, who had narrowly beaten Luton Town the day before, from escaping. The standings at the moment see the Reds second alone, two points behind the Londoners. At Bramall Lane, meanwhile, Liverpool recorded its first away clean sheet of the season, keeping its goal unbeaten: the match’s protagonists were captain van Dijk, who scored the goal that allowed Salah and his teammates to take the lead, and summer signing Szoboszlai, who sealed the deal at the end of the period.
Crystal Palace crisis
Liverpool who will be away from home again at the weekend: they will head further south to face another team in an identity crisis as Crystal Palace.

The Eagles lost again, beaten at Selhurst Park by a direct competitor like Bournemouth (0-2) and walked off the field amid deafening booing from fans. Also in the crosshairs was coach Roy Hodgson, who was even hit by a bottle thrown from the stands. Palace since October has scored only one win in eight matches and if it does not change pace it will have to settle for yet another anonymous season. A performance that has also been affected by heavy absences – against the Reds they will be missing two key pawns such as Doucouré and Eze – always as numerous as Liverpool’s.
The prediction
Injuries are the order of the day at Liverpool, but the Reds, unlike Crystal Palace, can count on spare parts equal to the task and are favored for the three points again in the Selhurst Park challenge. There will be at least three goals overall.
