Liverpool

Liverpool make the trip to Selhurst Park and this looks like the right favourite to side with on Sunday. Palace at home are always organised and they can make life uncomfortable for anyone, but the gap in squad quality and depth between these two is clear. Liverpool have more ways to win a game, they can control possession when they need to and they carry far more threat going forward across the front line.

Palace tend to keep matches tight at home and their plan here will be to sit in, stay compact and try to nick something on the break or from a set piece. That can frustrate teams for an hour, but over ninety minutes Liverpool usually find the moment. Their midfield pressure forces mistakes in dangerous areas and once the first goal comes the game opens up completely in their favour.

The price is not huge but it is fair for a side of Liverpool's level against a team that struggles to score consistently against the top sides. Palace will have their spell, the crowd will get behind them, but the quality should tell in the end. Liverpool to win at 1.61 is the bet.
