Preview
Liverpool eye a hat-trick of wins across competitions when they welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield for the next Premier League clash.
After their win over Leeds last week where Salah, Fabinho and Mane scored for the Reds, Liverpool backed it up with a Champions League group match win against AC Milan at home 3-2 in mid-week.
The Reds are 3rd in the table with 10 points from 4 matches which includes 3 wins.
On the other hand, struggling Crystal Palace picked up their first win of the season last week when they beat Spurs 3-0 at home.
Edouard led the way with a brace of goals while Zaha also found the back of the net.
Patrick Vieira will hope his side can build on that win when they face Liverpool but knows it’s a difficult task at Anfield.
Palace is in 11th position with 5 points from 4 matches and are in desperate for some form.
Both sides last faced each other in the Premier League in May earlier this year where Liverpool won 2-0 thanks to Mane’s two goals.
