Liverpool travel to Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, and they will be looking to continue their impressive run of form.

They have picked up five wins from the Premier League so far, and they will look to pick up another victory away from home. They have done well against the Eagles in the recent outing, and they are unbeaten in the last 12 matches against Crystal Palace.

They are undoubtedly the better team, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the job done.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have been very difficult to beat and they are unbeaten in 17 matches across all competitions. They have recently beaten Liverpool in the final of the Community Shield. They are full of confidence right now, and they will look to grind out a positive result here. It will be interesting to see if Crystal Palace can continue their unbeaten run and inflict some misery on the champions.
