Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Match Preview

Liverpool reached their fourth consecutive victory, this time against Burnley, away from home. So, they stepped in fourth place, alongside Leicester, having a better goal average. Until taking the lead with Firminho in the 43rd minute, they were not so good. They had the ball possession, but could not break the well-organized defensive line of Burnley. But after taking the lead at the dying minutes of the first half, a much improved Liverpool appeared in the second half. They created more chances quite easily, taking a comfortable victory with 0-3.

Crystal Palace, although easily saved, did not present anything special this season. No modern football at all, based on a passive game in defense trying to create with their only quality player, Zaha. The management has already announced that after the end of the season, the experienced coach Roy Hodgson will be released, looking for something more fresh for their bench. In their most recent league game, Crystal Palace lost clearly 1-3 to Arsenal.

The game is life and death for Liverpool. Klopp's players have no space to lose any point here since with a victory they will secure their ticket for the next season's Champions League. I think they will do it comfortably, covering the asian handicap of 1.5 goals.
