Liverpool will look to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League table when they square off with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.
Arne Slot’s side made it five wins from six in the top-flight this term with a 2-1 win away at Wolves last weekend.
That victory coupled with Man City’s stumble at Newcastle means the Reds are now occupying top spot ahead of matchday seven.
Liverpool kept up their momentum with a 2-0 win over Bologna in the Champions League in midweek.
As for Crystal Palace, they are still searching for their first league win of the season after crashing to a 2-1 defeat away at Everton last Saturday.
Consequently, the Eagles now find themselves residing in the relegation zone going into Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off with Liverpool.
How the bookies view it: Reds to clip Eagles wings
Liverpool, who have won each of their last five matches across all competitions, are short priced 1/2 (Betano) favourites to make it six wins on the spin at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Crystal Palace are 19/4 (Betano) outsiders to snap their current six-game winless streak in the Premier League, while a point apiece in the capital is also considered unlikely at 10/3 (Betano).
Head to head: Palace could make life difficult for Liverpool
It may come as a surprise to learn that Crystal Palace have avoided defeat in three of their last four Premier League meetings with Liverpool. Oliver Glasner guided his side to a shock 1-0 win at Anfield last season, with Eberechi Eze grabbing the only goal of the game.
However, it is worth pointing out that Liverpool ran out 2-1 winners in last season's corresponding fixture, with a dramatic late comeback ensuring that they claimed top honours on that particular occasion.
Players to watch: Salah hot-streak to continue?
Mohamed Salah has scored in each of Liverpool’s last three matches, and that makes the Egyptian an eye-catching option for an anytime strike on Saturday at 23/20 (UniBet).
The aforementioned Eze will be hoping to do more damage against Liverpool this weekend. The Eagles ace is 6/4 (Bet 365) to either score or assist.
Predicted line-ups
Crystal Palace look set to be without injured trio Chadi Riad, Cheik Doucoure and Chris Richards for the weekend visit of Liverpool.
Federico Chiesa missed Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Bologna in midweek with a minor knock but he could come back into the squad at Selhurst Park.
Crystal Palace: Henderson; Chalobah, Guehi, Lerma; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Eze, Mateta, Nketiah
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota
Anything else catch the eye?
Backing both Daichi Kamada and Ryan Gravenberch to commit a foul during this contest will bring about a 4/5 (Bet 365) Bet Builder that holds plenty of appeal.
Crystal Palace midfielder Kamada has committed a combined total of 12 fouls across his four Premier League starts this season, and he should be kept busy when table-topping Liverpool come to town.
As for Gravenberch, he has been guilty of at least one offence in five of Liverpool’s six top-flight outings this term to date.
