Crystal Palace vs Liverpool prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out?

Crystal Palace host league leaders Liverpool at Selhurst Park this afternoon, with Roy Hodgson's men looking for their first win in five games.

The Eagles are emerging from a torrid run of matches that has pitted them against four of the traditional big six as well as European hopefuls Leicester.

Despite picking up just one point since 6 October, Palace currently lie in 12th in the league.

Liverpool, meanwhile, continue to sit pretty atop the table, with six points separating them from second-placed Leicester.

The last meeting between the two sides ended in a 4-3 victory for Jurgen Klopp‘s side back in January.

Prediction

Palace came close to upsetting Liverpool in their last encounter, but you feel this showdown will be a much more straight-forward affair given the leaders’ current form. While the Reds’ style of play may favour Crystal Palace’s counter-attacking approach, Jurgen Klopp’s side are running like a well-oiled machine at the moment and it’s hard to see them giving an inch against the Eagles. Assuming they can keep Palace’s danger men quiet, this should be a comprehensive victory for Liverpool.

Predicted teams

Crystal Palace (4-5-1): Guaita; Kelly, Cahill, Sakho, Van Aanholt; Milivojevic, McArthur, Kouyate, Zaha, Townsend; Ayew​
