Crystal Palace v Liverpool: Premier League preview
After back-to-back defeats, Liverpool will look to get back to winning ways when they face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
The Reds dropped out of the top four following their 1-0 loss to Arsenal last weekend and also lost 3-2 away at Fenerbahce in the Champions League in midweek.
Palace netted an injury-time equaliser in their Europa League game against Hoffenheim, but lost 2-0 away at Tottenham last season and are now in the relegation zone.

Crystal Palace team news
Jean-Philippe Mateta will serve a three-match ban after being shown a red card for a lunging challenge on Tottenham captain Micky van de Ven last weekend.
Palace launched an appeal in a bid to get the ban overturned, but the Football Association (FA) confirmed that it was rejected by an independent regulatory commission.
Fellow striker Jorgen Strand Larsen was back in the matchday squad against Hoffenheim after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury.
He remained an unused substitute, but Sage has confirmed that the Norway international is fit enough to play approximately 60 to 75 minutes against Liverpool.
Eddie Nketiah and Evann Guessand are the other striker options for Palace.
Quinten Timber also made his return against Hoffenheim after recovering from a hamstring injury and got 55 minutes under his belt.
Ismalia Sarr (groin) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (calf) won’t be back until after the international break, while Chadi Riad is a long-term absentee with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Liverpool team news
Ryan Gravenberch has missed the last two games with a heel injury and will have a late fitness test before the trip to Selhurst Park.
If the Netherlands international remains unavailable, one of Trey Nyoni or Dominik Szoboszlai will partner Alexis Mac Allister in midfield.
Florian Wirtz should be back in the No.10 role, while Ronald Araujo, Milos Kerkez, Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak will also reclaim their spots in the starting line-up.

Crystal Palace v Liverpool odds
Liverpool are 3/5 to go into the international break with a win, while Crystal Palace are 24/5 to do likewise. The Draw is 7/2.
In the outright betting, Liverpool are 4/7 to finish the season in the top four and Palace are 2/1 to get relegated to the Championship.
Crystal Palace v Liverpool prediction
Only Nottingham Forest (6) and Sunderland (7) have scored fewer Premier League goals than Crystal Palace (9) this season.
They have also failed to score in four of their last five Premier League games, with the one exception being a 3-1 win over 19th-placed Forest.
With Mateta now suspended and Strand Larsen only just returning from injury, we’re backing Liverpool to win to nil at 21/10.
Palace have also been trailing at half-time in six of their nine Premier League games this season, so Liverpool-Liverpool in the Half-Time Full-Time market is worth a bet at 11/8.
Liverpool have scored at least two goals in five of their six away games in all competitions this season. Over 1.5 Liverpool goals is available at 8/15.
We’re also leaning towards Liverpool -1.5 on the handicaps at 29/20, and that will come in if they win by at least a two-goal margin.
For the correct score, a 2-0 win for the visitors is available at 17/2.
Isak scored just three minutes after coming off the bench against Fenerbahce. He now has five goals from five away games in all competitions this season.
The Sweden international has also scored two goals in his last three appearances against Palace, including the opener in Liverpool’s 3-1 win at Anfield last season.
He is 6/5 to score anytime at Selhurst Park, and 9/2 to break the deadlock with the opening goal.
