Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Preview


Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium: Anfield

Date: 15th August 2022

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Liverpool will look to bounce back from a disappointing opening day result when they welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield on Monday.

The Reds were held to a 2-2 draw by Fulham in their first game of the season, twice coming from behind to draw the game after Aleksandar Mitrović had twice given the hosts the lead.

That result meant that Jürgen Klopp’s men have conceded first in their last five Premier League matches. However, by earning a point from the game, the Merseyside club have earned 115 points from losing positions under the German, which is the most in the league since the German took over.

However, with the rest of the title chasing teams winning games more easily, the hosts will be desperate to get their first win of the season in this game to avoid falling far behind so early in the title race.

Given that they went undefeated in all 19 Premier League home games last season, winning 15 and drawing four, they will fancy their chances of winning this game and extending their run of winning their first home league match of the season to ten.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace’s tough start to the season looks to continue for another game following a tough start against Arsenal in their first game of the season.

The Eagles were beaten 2-0 in their first match of the season against Mikel Arteta’s side courtesy of goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Marc Guehi (own-goal). However, they played well in that game and will feel that they could have at least gone home with a point. Patrick Vieira will hope that his boys can repeat their performance in London but with a better outcome this time around.

However, given that they have lost their last ten Premier League meetings with Liverpool since beating the Reds 2-1 in April 2017, they will have to put in their best performance to turn history in their favour this time.
