Liverpool travel to Crystal Palace with the knowledge that anything but a victory will see their already dwindling Premier League title hopes well and truly go up in smoke.
Jurgen Klopp’s side won 7-0 at Selhurst Park last season in a match which seemed to signal them as the best team in the league. They would go on to be swept aside by Manchester City before eventually finishing third.

Prediction
Liverpool are reminded of ‘Crystanbul’ every time they travel to Selhurst Park - the scene of their diminishing title hopes in 2014. They looked to be missing Salah and Mane a great deal in the first leg of their Carabao Cup clash against Arsenal, but improved a little in the victory over Brentford. But Palace need a result after just one win in five and might be catching Klopp’s side at the right time. 2-2.
