Crystal Palace vs Liverpool prediction and odds: Diogo Jota tipped to continue goalscoring form

After securing a trip to Wembley, Liverpool return to London once again to face a Crystal Palace side desperate to improve on their Premier League form.

The Reds are the favourites at 4/7 with Grosvenor Sport while Palace are 24/5 and a draw is 16/5.

A convincing performance in the Carabao Cup at Arsenal secured Liverpool's 13th EFL Cup final and second against Chelsea.

They will want to build on that midweek performance, especially when they have the chance to reduce Man City's lead at the top of the Premier League table to just nine points and with a game-in-hand.

Jurgen Klopp will want his side to improve on their league form immediately having picked up just two wins in their last five and just eight points from a possibly 15.

They picked up wins against Brentford and Newcastle but in-between those victories, they dropped points from winning positions against Tottenham and Chelsea as well as losing to Leicester City too - all of these matches away from home.

Klopp will want Liverpool to turn their form around in London, having failed to pick up a league win in the capital after four attempts but go to Selhurst Park where Palace have lost only twice at home so far this season.

Player to watch

Diogo Jota is receiving plenty of praise at the moment with his performances as the Reds do not seem to be missing key men Sadio Mane and Mo Salah, for now anyway.

The Portuguese forward has scored 10 times in 20 league appearances and while he has not found the net in his last three Premier League appearances, he did find the net against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup on Thursday and will want to add to that tally.

H2H

This will be the 59th meeting between the two sides with Liverpool picking up 33 wins, 11 draws and 14 defeats.

The Reds will be looking for their 10th consecutive league win over the Eagles and have picked up clean sheets in their last four meetings too.
