Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Reds are leading the Premier League table with 15 points.

Crystal Palace are set to host the current table toppers Liverpool FC for their seventh English Premier League 2024-25 game. The two teams are having distant forms, Liverpool are standing at the pole with five wins and just a loss. Crystal Palace are yet to earn a win and are currently sitting in the relegation zone.

Crystal Palace lost their last game to Everton before going through a series of draws in the EPL. They also had a forgettable start to the campaign, having lost their first two games. After such poor results, they are getting ready to face the most fierce side in the ongoing EPL. The only hope the Eagles have here is from the draw they earned against another giant Manchester United.

Liverpool are standing tall under their new head coach Arne Slot. They won each and every game of the current season in EPL, except for a sudden defeat to Nottingham Forest. The Reds will have their goal clear for this one, and it’s a dominant victory to make their position at the pole even stronger.

Players to Watch:

Maxence Lacroix (Crystal Palace)

Since his arrival, the French defender has played in three EPL games for Crystal Palace, and he has been a staunch performer for the side in all three. He showed courage in the match against Manchester United, and fans will expect him to excel in this game too. 

The attackers are more fierce here, and he needs to match their pace and make good tackles to protect the back.

Diogo Jota (Liverpool)

The centre-forward from Portugal has had a decent start so far. He has a goal and two assists in five Premier League games. But, the other starters are faring even better. This should be Jota’s chance to excel, and fans will expect him to match the level of other strikers in the team.
