Liverpool face Crystal Palace in today's early kick-off, looking to go top of the Premier League table.

Arsenal are two points clear of the Reds heading into the weekend fixtures but, with the Gunners not in action until travelling to third-place Aston Villa later on Saturday, Jurgen Klopp's side can set the pace by beating Palace in the lunchtime clash.

Like Arsenal, Liverpool have lost just once in the League so far this term and look back to their best after last season's struggles, and it would be no surprise if they remained firmly in the title race come May.

Palace, meanwhile, need a response to their woeful home defeat by Bournemouth on Wednesday night. The Selhurst Park faithful voice their frustration during that loss, with loud boos and an object allegedly thrown at the increasingly under-pressure Roy Hodgson.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 12:30pm GMT kick-off today on Saturday December 9, 2023.

The match will take place at Selhurst Park in south London.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool prediction

There has been very little for Palace fans to get excited about of late - they have won just once at Selhurst Park this season.

Liverpool on the other hand look strong at both ends of the pitch, and another lunchtime kick-off looks to be the biggest obstacle to them picking up another three points.

That should not be a problem though, with Liverpool fancied to pile the misery on Hodgson and Palace.

Liverpool to win, 3-0.
