The race for Champions League qualification heats up this weekend, as Liverpool bid to record a third straight victory when they come up against Crystal Palace.
However, the Eagles have an excellent recent record against the Reds, and their confidence will be high after going four without defeat in the Premier League.

The pressure continues to mount on Arne Slot, but Liverpool appear to be in a strong position to achieve Champions League qualification. The reigning champions sit five points clear of Brighton, and they could move up to third with a big-scoring win on Saturday.
Liverpool have recorded victories in their previous two fixtures, and have won six of their last ten in the league. Mohamed Salah’s return to form is a massive positive for their European aspirations, with the Egyptian having scored in each of his last three Premier League starts.

Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace are enjoying a reliable end to the season. However, their focus in the final month of the campaign is likely to be on their upcoming Europa Conference League semi-finals.
The Eagles have avoided defeat in their last four Premier League fixtures, playing out a 0-0 home draw with West Ham last Monday. Palace have been defensively solid in the league this season, keeping 12 clean sheets. However, they have won just one of their last 18 against teams starting the day in the top half of the standings.
| TOTAL | Liverpool | Crystal Palace | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Games | 35 | 21 | 9 | 5 |
| Goals | 110 | 69 | 41 |
Despite winning last weekend, Liverpool were fortunate to net a late winner against Everton. Palace have avoided defeat in their last three trips to Anfield, meaning that there could be good value in the points being shared this weekend.
