Renowned football pundit Chris Sutton has weighed in on the highly anticipated Premier League showdown between Liverpool and Crystal Palace this weekend. With the game set to take place at Anfield on Sunday, Sutton is confidently backing Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool to emerge victorious.
The Reds, who are currently in pursuit of the league title, faced a setback last weekend when they were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Despite this stumble, Liverpool remains in contention for the title, trailing behind Arsenal on goal difference (42/51).
On the other hand, Crystal Palace has struggled against Liverpool in recent encounters, failing to secure a victory in their last 13 league meetings, with two draws and 11 losses to their name. The odds are certainly stacked against them as they prepare to face the formidable Liverpool side.
“This is a crucial match for Liverpool following their slip-up at Old Trafford,” Sutton remarked in his analysis for BBC. “One concern for Jurgen Klopp’s team is the form of Mohamed Salah, who has not been as clinical since his return from injury, squandering chances that he would normally convert with ease.”
As the stage is set for an exciting clash between two top-flight teams, all eyes will be on Anfield this Sunday to see if Liverpool can bounce back from their recent setback and secure a vital victory in their quest for the Premier League title.
