Liverpool’s excellent recent record at Selhurst Park is an eye opener, and given their expressive approach on the road they are in an excellent position here. A creditable draw with Tottenham away from home has been backed by wins at Arsenal (4-3), Chelsea (2-1) and Swansea (2-1), and if we assume the debacle at Burnley was an aberration then we can conclude that the Reds are excellent on their travels.
Crystal Palace’s 4-1 win over Stoke was something of an anomaly too – the Potteries side were very much in the doldrums at the time, and other than that the Eagles really haven’t flown on home territory: 0-1 defeats to West Brom and West Ham, and a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth, indicative of their struggles at Selhurst Park.
With all the evidence in, we are led to one clear prediction: Liverpool will surely win this match.
