Storylines
Liverpool: The club wants to celebrate the title as early as possible. However, the Reds enter this game lacking sharpness. Known for its attacking ability, Liverpool has failed to score in two out of its last three Premier League games. Expect Mohamed Salah to start this one after beginning the Everton clash on the bench.
Crystal Palace: Palace is comfortably in midtable, but a Europa League spot is not out of the question if the club can go on a little run. The team somehow has played more games (30) than it has scored goals (28). Those are numbers you would expect to leave a squad in the relegation zone, but Palace has grinded out result after result. Palace enters on a four-game winning streak.
Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace prediction
Liverpool finds its scoring touch and punishes Palace to move one point away from glory.
Pick: Liverpool 3, Crystal Palace 0
