Liverpool host Crystal Palace at Anfield tonight in their first home fixture of the new Premier League season.
A frustrating 2-2 draw at newly-promoted Fulham on opening day means the Reds already trail title favourites Manchester City by two points, but Darwin Nunez‘s top-flight debut - in which he both scored and assisted - was a huge positive.
Palace huffed and puffed in their season opener against Arsenal, but on another night Eberechi Eze or Wilfried Zaha would have scored. The pair will need to be on top form on Merseyside this evening.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace prediction
Liverpool were not quite at the races last time out but should have shaken off any rustiness after dropping points against Fulham.
Crystal Palace battled hard against Arsenal and face a far tougher test at Anfield. I expect Liverpool to earn their first win of the season.
Liverpool to win, 3-1.
