Liverpool News and Form

There was yet another Premier League win for Liverpool last weekend as they picked up a 1-0 victory at Brighton. They had to work hard for the three points with the single goal in the game coming from a converted penalty kick from Mo Salah. That was an important three points too as it was a response to them having lost against Manchester City in their previous game. The loss against City is their only defeat in the top flight this season. Liverpool have won 10 of their last 11 Premier League games now.

At Anfield this season in the top flight Liverpool are W9 D1 in ten games. In their 10 home games this season they have been scoring freely as well having tallied 27 goals at Anfield. As good as that is, it cannot outshine their defence which has conceded just three goals. 50% of their fixtures at Anfield this season have gone over 2.5 goals. Liverpool have scored at least three goals in each of their last three Premier League home fixtures.

So if you put this all together does look as if they are going to be too strong for Crystal Palace on the weekend. Liverpool have scored in both halves of 60% of their Premier League home games this season. They have scored in each of their last 14 league games home and away combined. At home this season they have been leading at the halftime break in seven of their league games (D3).

The only side in the division who have picked up more home points this season than Liverpool is Manchester City. However, Liverpool come out on top over them having the best defensive record in the top flight currently.

Crystal Palace News and Form

The Eagles couldn’t make the most of home advantage last weekend as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against the visiting Watford. Palace have done better out on the road this season than they have done at Selhurst Park. They have won four away games this season compared to just two on home soil. Overall this season Crystal Palace have posted a W4 D1 L6 record on their travels this season in the top flight.

Away from Selhurst Park Crystal Palace have tallied 14 goals on their travels, conceding 17. They have actually banked four clean sheets this season away from home which isn’t a bad return from them at all. They have actually found a bit of scoring form away from home as Palace have netted at least two goals in each of their last three away games.

One of those games was a huge upset in a 3-2 win at Manchester City last December which still is the biggest shock result of the entire Premier League season. Palace have been involved in some high-scoring games away from home as 36% of their road fixtures this season in the top flight have ended over 3.5 goals.

Away from home, the second period of matches has produced the most goals in Palace’s away fixtures. The Eagles have scored 64% of their goals away from home this season after the halftime break, but they have also conceded 65% of away goals in the second period of matches too.

Liverpool v Crystal Palace Predictions

Liverpool to win: Crystal Palace really don’t look as if they have enough about them to go and cause an upset in this one. They are lacking a serious scoring threat and therefore a Liverpool to win to nil option is the perfect fit.
