THE PREDICTION
Liverpool moved to the top of the table for the first time since October following their last-minute winner over previous leaders, Spurs and extended their unbeaten run to nine games. Top spot is something Klopp and his players will be eager to keep but remaining there will be no easy feat. Palace have experienced a rather inconsistent season thus far, with five wins and five losses, plus three draws, but have proven that, on their day, they can compete. A 4-1 win over Leeds and a 5-1 victory over West Brom have proven this, but their test against Liverpool is a different kettle of fish and Palace will do well to get a result out of this one. Therefore, expect a comfortable Liverpool win by two clear goals.
