JURGEN KLOPP'S entertainers hit Selhurst Park tonight for a fixture that's been essential viewing in recent seasons.
The goals have flown in and drama hasn't been in short supply either, with Liverpool famously throwing away a 3-0 lead in 2014 to draw 3-3 in a fatal blow to their title hopes.
That was the last time these sides met in the Premier League on a Monday night and another action-packed encounter seems likely.
Goals
Liverpool's last seven trips to Palace have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals and that trend looks set to continue. Liverpool have an embarrassment of riches in attacking areas and picked up where they left off last season with a 4-0 home trouncing of West Ham a week ago.
Palace also started the new campaign with victory, a disciplined 2-0 win at promoted Fulham, and will again rely on their counter-attacking prowess against the Reds.
Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet in their last five away league outings and Palace talisman Wilfried Zaha, on a high after signing a new long-term deal, can cause them problems at the back. Add btts and over 2.5 goals in the Bet Builder for a combined 21-20.
Player to score
The Reds have won four in a row at Selhurst Park but there's no value in the 4-9 for another away win tonight. Instead I'm going for a scorer and it's inevitably one of Liverpool's fab three up front.
Roberto Firmino has played at Selhurst Park on three occasions and only failed to net there once. He sets up as many as he scores but his 27-goal tally last season was bettered only by Mo Salah in the Liverpool scoring charts and I'm backing the Brazilian to bag a goal any time at 6-5.
