Match Preview
Liverpool come into this with enough warmth around them, even if the season has not been perfectly smooth. Arne Slot’s side have taken 7 points from the last 5 matches, scoring 7 times. At Anfield, that usually matters. The crowd still pulls games their way.
The probable Liverpool XI has plenty of control and width, with Salah, Wirtz and Gakpo behind Alexander Isak. Salah has 7 league goals at 0.32 per 90, while Gakpo adds 6. Still, Hugo Ekitike’s absence hurts, because his 11 goals make him a major missing piece.
There is also a small goalkeeper question, with Alisson doubtful because of a muscle issue. Giorgi Mamardashvili and Wataru Endo are out too. Even so, Liverpool’s home numbers are persuasive: 1.81 goals scored, 17.88 shots, and 5.25 shots on target per match.
Crystal Palace are not turning up just to clap politely. Oliver Glasner’s side have collected 8 points from the last 5 matches and are unbeaten in 4. That is proper momentum. Their 3-4-3 can be awkward, especially when Muñoz and Mitchell push on.
Mateta is the obvious danger man, with 10 goals at 0.45 per 90, while Ismaïla Sarr has 7 at 0.35 per 90. Palace have also scored in their last 5 away matches. Can Liverpool shut that down? Maybe, but it won’t be a walk in the park.
That said, Palace’s away attacking volume is modest, with just 9.67 shots and 3.47 shots on target per match. Adam Wharton is out, which removes control and bite from midfield. The lean remains home win, and Premier League Stats back Liverpool’s stronger Anfield profile.

Prediction
Prediction: Liverpool to Win @1.50
Liverpool to Win looks the most sensible angle because the home profile is stronger than the league table alone suggests. Arne Slot’s side average 1.94 points per match at Anfield, score 1.81 goals there, and produce 17.88 shots per home game. Palace are awkward travellers, sure, but they allow 5.73 corners away and should spend long spells defending deep.
The team news also tilts the argument toward Liverpool, even with Hugo Ekitike absent and Alisson doubtful. Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo and Isak still give the Reds enough variety in the final third. Palace have Mateta and Sarr in good scoring shape, but their away shot volume is only 9.67 per match, which feels light for winning at Anfield.
