Crystal Palace team news, focus
Palace’s squad has been stretched early in the season with key players Adam Wharton and Ismaila Sarr missing time. Wharton and Sarr are back and new star attacker Yeremy Pino has recovered as well. Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure will miss this match, too, but Oliver Glasner did give an update that Riad should return near the next international break. Defensively Palace look so solid and Jean-Philippe Mateta is key to everything they do. Youngster Justin Devenny is likely to get the nod to start alongside Daichi Kamada underneath Mateta.
OUT: Cheick Doucoure (knee), Chadi Riad (knee), Caleb Kporha (back), Walter Benitez (finger)
Liverpool team news, focus
Young defender Giovanni Leoni suffered a serious knee injury in midweek, which will impact Arne Slot’s depth at center back further. Other than that Liverpool look pretty set in terms of injuries. They will be without Hugo Ekitike through suspension as he got a second yellow card for taking his shirt off when he scored the winner against Saints in midweek. That means Alexander Isak will start up top and he got his first goal in a Liverpool shirt in the midweek win. Liverpool have such a settled lineup and Jeremie Frimpong back at right back is a big boost too.
OUT: Giovanni Leoni (knee – MORE), Stefan Bajcetic (hamstring), Hugo Ekitike (suspension)
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool preview
The reigning Premier League champions have won five games from five in the Premier League as they keep popping up with late goals and getting the job done. But they did lose to Palace on penalty kicks in the FA Community Shield final at Wembley back at the start of August. Arne Slot’s squad is deep and they’re coming off a midweek League Cup win at home against Southampton and they beat Everton at home in the Merseyside derby last weekend.
Palace have also had a fine start to the season with Oliver Glasner’s side unbeaten so far and they have picked up nine points and conceded just twice. They won at West Ham last weekend as they continue to overachieve and Palace are so comfortable in their 3-4-2-1 formation and look set to push for a top eight finish, at least, as well as go far in the Europa Conference League. Following their success in the Community Shield against Liverpool in August, Palace will fancy their chances of edging the Reds once again.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool prediction
This has a draw written all over it. Palace are so hard to play against and despite winning all of their games (just) Liverpool are yet to hit top form. Crystal Palace 1-1 Liverpool.
