Liverpool FC vs Crystal Palace. Shape of the Teams

Liverpool has just lost the first spot to Arsenal in the Premier League after dropping points against Manchester United at Old Trafford (2-2). This means they’re now trailing one point behind Arsenal.

But something might have motivated the Reds more than ever – the 3-0 defeat at Anfield this week against Atalanta in the Europa League. Although defeats usually discourage, this loss might lead Liverpool to shift their focus to the EPL, especially as Arsenal and Manchester City are still battling in the Champions League.

Alisson is still doubtful for the clash, likely leaving Kelleher between the sticks. However, Liverpool’s roster may still hold the upper hand, particularly with Crystal Palace’s defensive trio – Guéhi, Ducouré, and Holding – sidelined due to injuries.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, faces the daunting task of playing against Liverpool at Anfield, only one week after the game against Manchester City (2-4), which is a tough schedule.

Liverpool will come as motivated as ever, supported by their home crowd. The Reds are equal in points with Arsenal, who will face a robust Aston Villa.

The Reds thrive against sides that cannot defend well, and Crystal Palace has managed only a few clean sheets in the last weeks. Although they didn’t concede any goals in their 3-0 victory against the 19th-placed Burnley, playing against an EPL elite team like Manchester City saw them give away four goals.

With Liverpool stepping onto the pitch on Sunday, a day after their title rivals – Arsenal vs Crystal Palace and Manchester City vs Luton will be played on Saturday – they could potentially exploit any missteps to reclaim the summit of the Premier League.

Liverpool FC vs Crystal Palace, Odds

Pick: Liverpool to win
Odds: -455 (Tonybet)

Unlike most teams lower down the league table, Crystal Palace is not likely to adopt a deep defensive strategy. Their preference for playing on the counter, rather than fortifying their backline, could expose them at Anfield, a venue where Liverpool has thrived in high-energy, back-and-forth encounters

All the crazy games that allowed Liverpool to be where they currently are, were when they faced teams that dared to engage in such open games. Few teams can boast the athleticism and individual quality of Liverpool. The culture itself invites taking risks game after game, unlike their rivals Manchester City and Arsenal.

The 3-0 defeat at home against Atalanta could indeed serve as a wake-up call for Liverpool, who seemed to lack focus in that game. And while Crystal Palace may not pose the sternest challenge, at this stage, every point counts.

After a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford, Liverpool relinquished their lead, and now they need to put the pressure back on Arsenal. The Gunners are still battling in the Champions League after a 2-2 draw in the first tie against Bayern Munich at the Emirates.

If Liverpool wants to be smart, they will only look to build up from wide and skip the midfield, avoiding Endo being pressurized – Liverpool’s Achilles Heel at the moment. This way, the Reds could use their signature ‘heavy-metal football’ to dismantle the visitors with relentless pace and direct attacks.

Liverpool FC vs Crystal Palace Betting Tip

Pick: Exact score: 3-0
Odds: +620 (Tonybet)

There should be no room for excuses at Anfield; Liverpool is primed to dominate Crystal Palace at home. Everything seems perfect – from a favourable injury list to key players hitting their prime form. This is the type of game that is often overlooked but remains pivotal in the Premier League title chase.

Bradley has grown through the season under Klopp’s nurturing, and he should be given the keys during the tie. With his ability to maintain balance during fast breaks – coupled with Szoboszlai’s knack for threading the needle between the midfield and attack – Liverpool has the tactical sharpness to exploit any defensive lapses.

If the Reds can find Diaz in advanced positions, his electric movements with the ball in the box alone should be enough to unlock Palace’s defence.

Crystal Palace does not perform well under pressure, which plays right in the hands of Liverpool’s aggressive style. This game should be a confidence booster for Liverpool and for Klopp to make a memorable impact in one of his final outings at the helm.
