A close call at Crystal Palace last time these teams met will have Liverpool on high alert in its return to Premier League duties.
One week after succumbing at home to Premier League title contender Manchester City, Crystal Palace faces the threat of another claimant to the throne as it prepares for a trip to Anfield on Sunday. Liverpool pulled off a daring escape at Selhurst Park when these teams collided back in December and Harvey Elliott came off the bench to deliver a crucial three-point haul in south London. The Reds are under considerably more pressure to deliver on home soil this weekend as the title race continues to heat up, and three points at home would be enough to temporarily send them top of the league.

Jurgen Klopp’s side would have come into this weekend’s fixtures setting the pace at the summit were it not for last weekend’s slip at Old Trafford, where they drew 2-2 against Manchester United.
The Red Devils have been a bogey team for Liverpool of late after also knocking the Merseysiders out of FA Cup contention, though a title double is still on the cards as they remain in the hunt for Europa League glory.
Klopp & Co. won’t be taking Palace lightly, either, considering how close they were to defeat several months ago prior to Elliott’s heroics in injury time:
The Eagles have since been taken over by manager Oliver Glasner and have shown promise under the Austrian, though they still have just one win from six Premier League games to show for it.
Palace sits 14th in the standings coming into Week 32, but there are just five points between the club and the relegation zone.
It’s a major positive for Palace that most of the clubs sat lower in the table have played one games more as things stand, but the survival quest is by no means complete just yet.
Regional restrictions may apply.
