Crystal Palace will welcome Liverpool to Selhurst Park in the Premier League matchday 23 on Sunday. The kick-off is at 16:00 CEST.

Preview

As Crystal Palace were beaten 3-2 by West Ham and drew Brighton 1-1 in their opening PL games in 2022 while beating Millwall 2-1 in the FA Cup in-between, Patrick Vieira's men will be looking for their first league victory this year when they play hosts to Liverpool on the weekend. However, with just one win in their last five Premier League matches, the Eagles will arguably have to wait beyond Sunday for their first PL success in 2022. What's more, Palace are now only 11th in the table with 24 points while the Reds sit in second, whopping 21 points ahead.

Jurgen Klopp's side, in turn, will travel to Selhurst Park on the back of a confident 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg which saw them reaching the competition's final where they'll take on Chelsea. In fact, Liverpool have gone five games across all competitions unbeaten since the turn of the year which has been a quite strong response to a 1-0 loss to Leicester City in late December.

Team news

Cheikhou Kouyate and Wilfried Zaha are still unavailable for the hosts due to their involvement at the Africa Cup of Nations while James Tomkins and James McArthur remain on the sidelines. AFCON-bound Naby Keita, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, meanwhile, won't help the visitors this time around as well as injured Nat Phillips, Harvey Elliott, Thiago Alcantara and Divock Origi.

Prediction

Given that Liverpool have beaten Palace in their last five head-to-head meetings with an accumulative score of 18-1, including a 3-0 thrashing in the reverse fixture in September, we can't expect anything but another confident victory for the Reds on Sunday. Thus, let's back Klopp's to register one more clean sheet against the Eagles this time around.
