After confidently beating Manchester City at Anfield during the week, Liverpool travel to Selhurst Park on Sunday as Jurgen Klopp looks to collect another three points in the league. At the time of writing the Reds have played 27 games, two fewer than most in the league and theoretically could still pile pressure on the race for fourth if they put a string of victories together.
For Palace, they are unable to call upon McArthur and Puncheon while Wickham and goalkeeper Hennessey will be subject to late fitness tests.
Our last visit to Selhurst Park was in February 2014 for an FA Cup tie, the game ended in victory for the Reds thanks to two goals from Sturridge and Lallana. In the last ten meetings between the two sides in all competitions, Liverpool have only won on three occasions.
Liverpool's form hasn't been very consistent but Klopp's side haven't lost in their last three in the league. A win over Crystal Palace could be just what the Reds need to kick on in the final stage of the season.
Liverpool are currently down at 23/20 for the straight win on Sunday while the draw is at 12/5.
Adam Lallana to score first in a 2-1 win for the Reds has odds of 60/1 while the same bet with Firmino is down at 40/1.
Enjoy the match folks, wherever you are watching!
