Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Betting Tips

Crystal Palace take on Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. The away side sit alone at the top of the table after beating Tottenham at Anfield on Wednesday.

Crystal Palace’s record of five wins, five defeats and three draws from 13 games shows just how consistently inconsistent the Eagles have been.

Palace have won just one of their last five matches and have the same home record over a five game spell. 

The South Londoners had lost two in a row before beating 10-man West Brom 5-1, a result which was followed up with a 1-1 draw at home to Tottenham.

Last time out, Crystal Palace were involved in another 1-1 draw as Christian Benteke’s diving header was cancelled out by a spectacular Sebastien Haller overhead kick at West Ham.

Crystal Palace will be without striker Christian Benteke due to suspension. Wayne Hennessey, Martin Kelly, Mamadou Sakho, Nathan Ferguson and Connor Wickham are injured.

Liverpool are back at the top of the Premier League table after a huge result at Anfield on Wednesday night.

The result means the Reds have now won 5 of their last 8 matches heading into their trip to Selhurst Park.

Liverpool had beaten beaten Wolves 4-0 and drew 1-1 with Fulham before hosting Tottenham at Anfield last time out.

Mohamed Salah’s opener was cancelled out by Heung-Min Son’s equaliser, before Roberto Firmino powered home a header to win the match 2-1 in the 90th minute.

Liverpool will have to contend without Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Kostas Tsimikas, James Milner, Thiago Alcantara, Xherdan Shaqiri and Diogo Jota through injury. Defender Joel Matip is also doubtful after missing out against Tottenham.

Liverpool have 31 wins in this fixture compared to Palace’s 14. There have also been 11 draws. 

The previous meeting ended in a 4-0 win to Liverpool back in June.

Liverpool have enjoyed this fixture in recent seasons, winning the last six matches against Crystal Palace. The Reds also now have added incentive after reaching the top of the table and have the opportunity to potentially open up a six-point gap on their rivals.
