This game will be an interesting game for both teams. The last time these two sides met was last March where Ole Gunnar Solsjkaers side came out 1-0 victors. Man United also took 6 points from 6 from West Ham in the 2020/2021 season.
Liverpool Retrospective
The Reds are coming into this game after a 3-2 home win in their opening group stage game against AC Milan at Anfield on Wednesday night. In the league, their last game was a 0-3 away win against Leeds United placing them third in the table, only behind Chelsea and Manchester United on goal difference.
Crystal Palace Retrospective
Patrick Vieira’s Palace side are coming off their first win this season with an impressive 3-0 home victory over London rivals Tottenham at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
A double from Odsonne Edouard and a penalty from Wilfried Zaha was enough to see off Spurs and send them up the table to 11th. They now face a daunting task at Anfield.

Liverpool v Crystal Palace team news
Harvey Elliott will be out until the latter stages of the season after the 18-year-old suffered a fracture-dislocation of the left joint following a challenge in the second half of Liverpool’s 3-0 win at Elland Road.
Roberto Firmino is still suffering from a thigh injury and has no set return date. Ruling him out for the time being, while Neco Williams is suffering from a foot injury.
Jeffrey Schlupp is still out with a thigh injury and has no return date, he will be ruled out for the foreseeable future.
While Eberechi Eze is suffering from lower leg problems and will be ruled out long-term.
Liverpool v Crystal Palace prediction
Palace looked good in their last outing against Tottenham and will have confidence coming into this game. A draw would be a great result for Vieira’s side but I can only see one result here. At Anfield, it will be more than difficult for Palace to cause an upset here.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-0
