Liverpool Win-to-Nil
Betting on a Liverpool win won't yield much in the way of a return for your investment, so we're backing the home side to keep a clean sheet on their way to victory. The Reds have won their last eight league games against the Eagles, keeping four clean sheets in the duo's last six encounters. The hosts have also won five of their last six matches in all competitions, keeping three clean sheets, while Palace have failed to score in three of their last five outings.
Liverpool to Win Both Halves
Liverpool have had some very convincing wins against Palace in recent seasons, including a 7-0 win in their last trip to Selhurst Park. We're backing Liverpool to win both halves at home to the Eagles this weekend just as they have done in each of the pair's last three meetings.
Jota to Score
Diogo Jota has made a good start to the new season with two goals in the Premier League. We're backing the Portuguese international to score against Crystal Palace on Saturday as he has a habit of popping up with important goals for Liverpool, taking the pressure off the likes of Salah and Mane who usually score the majority of the club's goals.

Comfortable win expected for the hosts
Liverpool followed up their convincing 3-0 win at Leeds with a 3-2 home win over Serie A side AC Milan in the Champions League. Liverpool#s commanding centre-back, van Dijk, was rested for that midweek game but is expected to return to the starting lineup this weekend. The Reds have now scored exactly three goals in four of their last six matches and look so good going forward, unfortunately for Cyrstal Palace.
Crystal Palace looked like the real deal at home to Spurs last time out, securing a 3-0 win. Admittedly, Spurs were not at their best that day and the Eagles took full advantage but it was still a morale-boosting win that will give the visitors some hope ahead of one of their toughest away games of the season.
Team News
Liverpool: Firmino has been ruled out of this weekend's game through injury, along with Elliot. Minamino returned to the squad for the midweek game against AC Milan so could start on Saturday.
Crystal Palace: Schlupp, Eze and Ferguson are expected to miss the trip to Merseyside for the visitors due to injury.
