Our predictions for Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
Match Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool
Crystal Palace have been solid lately, mixing wins with draws. They've shown they can nick points off big teams, like that 0-0 against Chelsea. Liverpool, though, are on fire, winning every game with a knack for late drama, like that 3-2 against Newcastle. This match could be tight, with Palace looking to frustrate Liverpool's attack and hit them on the break.
Liverpool's form suggests they'll keep pushing forward, but Palace's recent results show they can hold their own. Expect a game where Palace sit deep, looking to counter, while Liverpool dominate possession. It might come down to a moment of magic or a set-piece.

Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Guéhi, Muñoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell, Kamada, Pino (if fit), Mateta
With Pino and Mateta in attack, Palace will look to hit Liverpool on the break. Their solid backline, led by Guéhi and Lacroix, will be crucial in keeping Salah and Gakpo quiet.

Predicted lineup: Alisson, Bradley, Konaté, van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Isak
Liverpool's attack, with Salah, Isak and Gakpo, will look to exploit any gaps in Palace's defence. In midfield, Szoboszlai and Allister will control the game and feed the forwards.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
Will Hughes vs Ryan Gravenberch: Hughes may find it difficult to deal with Gravenberch's incisive passing and impressive work-rate.
Alexander Isak vs Maxence Lacroix: Lacroix will need to be on his toes to cope with Isak's nose for goal.
Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace): He'll be key to the home side's hopes of creating chances on the counter-attack.
Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool): His tenacity in midfield will be vital if Liverpool are looking to dominate.
