Liverpool Form and Team News

Liverpool are slowly getting into the groove after the last game. They were not at their best even though it didn’t affect the result much earlier on against Chelsea and more. But in the last game, they showed why they are still favorites to win the league. Liverpool in the last season were unfortunately troubled by a lot of injuries to key players and that in turn had a major effect in them not getting into the groove in any of the competitions they were part of, still managing to finish third in the points table is a great achievement. They are playing against Crystal Palace in their next match and they would want to shrug off whatever wrong they have done so far. Crystalare not in the greatest of form in the Premier League as well, but Liverpool can’t be complacent and still need to fire to their capacity and get the momentum going their way. This will help them in the tough matches they are going to be part of in the latter part.

Jurgen Klopp would hope for lesser injuries this season, and everything else would fall into place for the reds. The Salah, Mane, Firmino combo was not able replicate what they have been doing in the past season in the last season, but again this can be associated with Firmino’s regular injury breaks. Salah has already hit three goals for the reds while Mane, Jota and Firmino along with Fabinho have also managed to shake the inner netting. However, the form of Virgil and Alisson will be crucial for them going forward.

Crystal Palace Form and Team News

Crystal Palace in the last showcased a masterclass and beat Kane’s Tottenham by a big margin. This was their first win of the PL this season. Crystal Palace in the last few seasons have made a habit of staying outside the top ten in almost all of them. One word can be associated with this habit and that is ‘inconsistency’. They need to start winning on a consistent basis to have any chance of breaking into the top half of the table. They are playing against Liverpool in their next match and it could get tough if they exhibit the habit mentioned above, but it would be a different game if they are able to break them down and play like how they did during their game against Tottenham.

French Legend and Premier League Giant in his time, Patrick Viera is taking over the managerial duties of Crystal Palace and this could be the buffer for the side to start playing their best brand of football under the able leadership of Frenchman who not only has enough playing experience but also a championship winning mindset which will augur well for the team. Edouard and Gallagher have scored two goals each so far. Zaha has also scored once and his form is something that Viera would be keeping an eye on in the games to come.
