Liverpool welcome Crystal Palace at Anfield in the most important match of the season. Or, as Klopp explained, it is a "final" that comes after the "semi-final" win over Burnley on Wednesday. There will be 10,000 fans inside Anfield, so the home advantage should be mentioned. The actual form could be rated as good, Liverpool are in series of four victories. They beat Southampton, Manchester United, West Bromwich and Burnley. The Reds secured a 3:0 win at Turf Moor on Wednesday that saw them climbing on the fourth place. It was a tough match, Liverpool players were under constant pressure. A cool finish from Firmino secured the lead in the finish of the first half. Nathaniel Phillips was the key figure in the second half, not only for the goal he scored in the 52nd minute, his first career goal as a professional. He also made the crucial save later when cleared Ben Mee header from the line. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's late goal was very important as improved the goal difference. Andy Robertson should also be mentioned as he assisted twice in a league match for the first time since April 2019. The Scot has produced 35 assists for the club in the last four seasons and only one player has more in that period - Kevin de Bruyne. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, though Klopp has lot of injury issues. Ozan Kabak joined other centre-backs (Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip) on the injury list. That's not all, Jordan Henderson, Diogo Jota and Naby Keita are also struggling. It is clear the German coach has no space for rotation, although most of the players are tired. Curtis Jones and James Milner could provide fresh legs in midfield. This could be the last match for Georginio Wijnaldum as he is linked with Barcelona.
Crystal Palace lost 3:1 to Arsenal on Wednesday. It was the last home match for the manager Roy Hodgson. The Eagles have revealed on Tuesday that the 73-year-old coach will leave the club at the end of the season. Hodgson received warm applause before the match and a guard of honour from both sets of players. Palace players gave the maximum on that match and they were close to remain unbeaten, but conceded twice in the stoppage time. The only goal for Palace was scored by Christian Benteke. The former Liverpool striker has scored nine goals in the Premier League this season and three of those goals have come in his last three matches. Benteke will be particularly motivated at Anfield, he will want to prove that should deserve better treatment from Klopp. Hodgson's players are free from pressure as they are safe in the middle of the table. Palace have 44 points, 16 more than the first team into the relegation zone. The actual form is mixed, two wins and two defeats on the last four encounters. They managed to beat Sheffield United and Aston Villa, but suffered defeats from Southampton and Arsenal in their most recent outing. Hodgson has some injury issues ahead of this match. Luka Milivojevic has missed the matches against Aston Villa and Arsenal due to family reasons, so it remains to be seen if he will come back in time for the Sunday. The biggest problem for the guests is the absence of Eberechi Eze. The England U21 international suffered a serious Achilles injury in training this week. If the scans reveal the worst, there is the possibility Eze could face up to 8 months in rehabilitation. His absence will be an enormous handicap for the club. The 22-year-old has contributed six assists and four goals including two stunning solo efforts against Sheffield United. Tyrick Mitchell and Scott Dann are rated as doubtful, while Mamadou Sakho, Nathan Ferguson, Connor Wickham and James McArthur remain sidelined.
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Prediction:
I expect an interesting match at Anfield. Liverpool need the victory, they will strongly attack from the very first minute. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have nothing to play for. But this is England, they will try to upset the opponents. Free from pressure, the guests could take advantage from Phillips and Rhys Williams' inexperience. Crystal Palace lost 7:0 in the reverse fixture played in December, so I am sure they won't allow another embarrassment in Hodgson's last match as manager. The Eagles could cover the handicap.
