Liverpool may have lost their spot at the top of the table with a draw against Man Utd last weekend, but the Reds are still level on points with Arsenal and have a prime opportunity to add three more points to their tally against Crystal Palace.
The Reds were looking for an important win against Man Utd, but they were made to pay a heavy price for missed scoring chances as they dropped points in a 2-2 draw. Now, Jurgen Klopp's side will look to be more clinical in front of goal against Palace, who they are unbeaten against in their last 13 games (W11 D2).
Palace started strong against Manchester City in their last match and went 1-0 up, but eventually fell 4-2 to the reigning champions. Their schedule doesn’t get any easier with a trip to Anfield, but the Eagles will be desperate for points to avoid getting sucked further into the relegation battle.

A convincing 3-0 victory at Brighton & Hove Albion launched Arsenal back to the top of the table, and now their latest test comes in the form of fourth-place Aston Villa.
The Gunners took advantage of Liverpool’s draw to move to the top on goal difference, but the Villans are one of only four teams to have beaten Arsenal this season.
Repeating their 1-0 win at Villa Park will not be easy for Villa - Arsenal have won 10 of their last 11 Premier League games and conceded only four goals across that period.
Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka have been on fire for the Gunners, with Havertz having nine goal involvements in his last seven Premier League appearances compared to the 11 in 11 matches by Saka.
Villa will be looking to Ollie Watkins, who has nine goals and two assists in his last 10 Premier League games, to continue his fine form as they aim to upset the Gunners.
