Team Analysis
Crystal Palace has struggled this season, currently sitting near the bottom of the league table without a win. Their recent performance against Everton ended in a disappointing loss, despite initially taking the lead. The defense is a significant concern due to injuries, with key players like Chris Richards and Chadi Riad unavailable. Jefferson Lerma had to fill in at central defense in their last match, highlighting their depth issues at the back.

Liverpool is enjoying a strong start under manager Arne Slot, winning eight out of their first nine games. While the team has not been exceptionally dominant in recent matches against Bologna and Wolverhampton, they have consistently secured points. Depth remains a concern, with Harvey Elliott out injured, limiting rotation options. However, Liverpool's attacking prowess remains intact, and they have been effective in securing victories.

Head-to-Head
Crystal Palace has found it challenging against Liverpool, with Liverpool winning nine of their last ten visits to Selhurst Park. Despite this, the last four meetings have shown that Palace can be a tough opponent, as Liverpool managed just one win in these encounters.

Prediction
Liverpool is expected to continue their winning streak against Crystal Palace, though it might not be straightforward given recent performances. Palace's defense has been vulnerable, making it likely for Liverpool to score over 1.5 goals. The predicted scoreline is 2-1 in favor of Liverpool. While Liverpool is likely to win, Crystal Palace might still make a strong effort, possibly resulting in more than 3.5 corners for the hosts.

Pick: Liverpool Win
