Liverpool takes on Crystal Palace in the 32nd round of the Premier League. Last weekend, the Merseysiders failed to beat Manchester United, allowing Arsenal to overtake them in first place in the league table. The Gunners have a better goal difference, which gives them the edge and puts Jurgen Klopp’s players under more pressure.
Crystal Palace are involved in the survival battle after having an advantage of just five points ahead of Luton. The Eagles’ schedule until the end of the season is quite challenging since it includes matches with most of the top teams in the Premier League, so any point gained will be welcome for Oliver Glassner’s players. The Austrian has improved his side’s defensive play, but results are yet to sweeten. Since the start of 2024, Crystal Palace has defeated only Burnley and Sheffield United in the Premier League.
My bet builder prediction includes five selections. There is hardly anyone who doubts that Liverpool will dominate possession of the ball and push Crystal Palace players into their own half. Such a style sets the stage for a greater number of tackles from the Reds defenders, as the Eagles will rely on long balls and quick counter-attacks. Traditionally, Liverpool’s left-back is more defensive, while the right-back is more involved in forward positions. That’s why I recommend Andrew Robertson to attempt 1 tackle and Conor Bradley to attempt 2 tackles.

Conor Bradley Season League StatsDarwin Nunez is the player responsible for finishing most of Liverpool’s attacks, and I expect Sunday’s game to be no exception. The Uruguayan is averaging 3.4 shots per game this season in the Premier League. With the home side expected to dominate, it would be a massive upset if Nunez doesn’t finish the game with at least three shots. On the left wing, Luis Diaz is in great form and has impressed with his performance in recent weeks. The Colombian’s absence against Atalanta on Thursday was noticeable. My fourth betting suggestion is that Luis Diaz will attempt at least two shots.

Luis Diaz Season League StatsMy last bet is that Jordan Ayew will finish the game with at least one shot. The price at bet365 seems inflated for Liverpool’s problems in this area. Liverpool’s opponents’ left-wingers have been very active up front all season and often come eye-to-eye with the Merseysiders’ goalkeeper. Jordan Ayew averages 1.6 shots per game, and I expect him to have at least one opportunity to show his class against Caoimhin Kelleher.
