Liverpool & BTTS
Liverpool have won each of their last seven Premier League encounters with Crystal Palace and both teams have scored in three of the pair's last six head-to-heads. Liverpool have won their last four league games and both teams have scored in four of their last six outings, while both teams have scored in five of Crystal Palace's last seven fixtures.
Over 3.5 Goals
At least 4-goals have been scored in three of the last four meetings between these two clubs, with Liverpool claiming a 7-0 win at Selhurst Park back in December. Liverpool recently came out on top in a six-goal thriller with Man Utd, while each of Crystal Palace's last three matches have produced over 3.5 goals.
Mohamed Salah to Score First
Mohamed Salah is level with Harry Kane on 22-goals for the season and will be desperate to find the back of the net on Sunday and claim the Golden Boot award for himself. The Egyptian striker is in excellent form, scoring 6-goals in his last 10 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool. Salah also scored twice in the 7-0 drubbing of Crystal Palace earlier in the campaign.

Liverpool will secure Champions League football with a win
Liverpool claimed a comfortable 3-0 win at Burnley in midweek and have now secured wins in each of their last four matches. Klopp will be keen to ensure his players maintain their winning run on Sunday as Champions League football is at stake. Liverpool have an excellent recent record against the Eagles and are expected to win with all the major bookmakers. Captain Hendeson won't feature in the final game of the season and neither will Matip, Gomez, Kabak, Davies, or van Dijk. Keita and Jota could return to the squad following injuries.
Crystal Palace have injury concerns over Milivojevic, Benteke, Mitchell and Dann, and have ruled out Eze, Sakho, Ferguson, Wickham and McArthur from making the trip to Merseyside. The Eagles have had a hit and miss end to the season as they followed up their 3-2 home win over Aston Villa with a 3-1 defeat in their own backyard against Arsenal last time out. The visitors have a lot of injuries heading into the final game of the season and with nothing to play for and their terrible recent record against Liverpool, we don't out much hope of the Eagles claiming any points at Anfield.
