Arne Slot’s Liverpool look on course to achieve Champions League qualification this season after moving five points clear of sixth-place following successive wins over Fulham and Everton. The Reds have bounced back to domestic form, winning six of their last ten.
That is a massive turnaround after winning just five in their previous 18. Late goals have been a common trend in Liverpool fixtures this season, with their winner in last weekend’s Merseyside Derby being the ninth effort registered for or against in the 90th minute or later. Mohamed Salah has been back in form recently, scoring on his last three starts in the EPL.

Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace already have a date with destiny awaiting them after progressing through to the final four of the Europa Conference League. Therefore, with little left to play for in the league, changes could be expected on Saturday.
However, despite battling in the bottom half of the standings, the Eagles have excelled defensively in 2025-26, keeping 12 Premier League clean sheets. Ismaila Sarr has typically enjoyed coming up against Liverpool, with the forward scoring in each of his last four appearances against the Reds in all competitions.

(3-4-2-1): Henderson (GK); Richards, Lacroix, Canvot; Munoz, Lerma, Hughes, Mitchell; Pino, Sarr; Larsen
Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace Prop Pick
Combative full-back Daniel Munoz could be a standout bet to be carded against pacey opponents on the wing. The Colombian has picked up six yellows in the EPL this season, and averages 1.42 fouls per 90.
Head-to-Head Trends
- Crystal Palace have avoided defeat in their last three EPL trips to Anfield, with two clashes over that period ending in draws.
- Palace recorded a 3-0 win at Anfield in the EFL Cup earlier this season.
- Liverpool lost 2-1 in the reverse fixtures and could fall to defeats in both meetings with the Eagles in the same season since 2014-15.
Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace Picks
Slot’s Liverpool have looked back to somewhere near their best in recent weeks, and they could take a giant stride toward UCL qualification this weekend. A home win for the Reds looks like the most logical angle, especially considering Palace’s upcoming European semi-final next week.
