Liverpool will conclude their Premier League campaign when they welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Arne Slot has enjoyed a dream first season in charge, steering the Reds to a record-tying 20th Premier League title with relative ease.
However, since clinching their first English crown in five years, Liverpool have understandably taken their foot off the pedal in recent weeks.
The newly-crowned champions have collected just one point from the last nine on offer, most recently falling to a 3-2 defeat at Brighton.
As for Crystal Palace, they will still be on cloud nine following last week’s historic FA Cup triumph against Man City at Wembley.
Oliver Glasner’s side carried that momentum into their 4-2 win over Wolves on Tuesday night, in a game that brought up a couple of my Selhurst Park selections.
How the bookies view it: Reds to return to winning ways
Despite their downturn in form in recent weeks, Liverpool come into this Anfield curtain-closer as firm 4/11 favourites on Boylesports.
Crystal Palace are as big as 5/1 on Boylesports to sign off for the season with a win, while an all square affair on Merseyside can be backed at 4/1 with the same firm.

Head to head: Reds rule the roost
Liverpool have come away empty-handed from just one of their last 15 Premier League contests with Crystal Palace, winning this season’s reverse fixture 1-0.
However, it’s worth noting that the Eagles did emerge from Anfield with a 1-0 victory in last season’s corresponding fixture. The same scoreline on Sunday afternoon is trading at a towering 28/1 with Boylesports.
Players to watch: Eze in excellent form
Eberechi Eze is currently enjoying a six-game scoring streak, making the Crystal Palace ace an appealing option to hit the target once or more on Sunday at 8/11 on PaddyPower.
Given that he could be in a direct battle with Crystal Palace speed merchant Ismaila Sarr, Liverpool’s Andy Robertson looks overpriced to commit a minimum of one foul at 13/8 on Bet 365.
Predicted line-ups
Alexis Mac Allister will miss Liverpool’s final league game of the season due to injury, but apart from that Reds boss Slot could have a fully fit squad to choose from.
Crystal Palace will definitely be without injured duo Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure, while Adam Wharton and Marc Guehi are both rated as doubtful.
Liverpool: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Elliot, Gakpo; Diaz
Crystal Palace: Henderson; Richards, Laxroix, Lerma; Munoz, Kamada, Hughes, Mitchell; Sarr, Mateta, Eze
Anything else catch the eye?
Crystal Palace look worthy of support to score two or more goals at Anfield on Sunday at 7/4 with Boylesports.
The capital club have scored multiple goals in recent away days at the likes of Man City, Arsenal and Tottenham.
Thus, they could well repeat the trick against a Liverpool side that have conceded at least two goals in each of their last three top-flight tussles.
