Crystal Palace take on the visitors Liverpool at the Selhurst Park in the 2nd tour of the Premier League. The match will be played in London on Monday, August 20th.
In the first tour of the Premier League Crystal Palace faced the newcomer to the league Fulham. Even though the Cottagers have spent more than 100 millions pounds on the new signings this summer it will be impossible for them to become at least a middle team in the league instantly. Thereby Crystal Palace beat them with a 2-0 score on the away side with Schlupp and Zaha scoring goals. Overall the teams were looking pretty equal in their playing styles with a slight advantage for Fulham but Crystal Palace used their experience to beat an uncomfortable opponent. Last season Crystal Palace placed 11th in the league which was a better result for them than in the 2016/17 season when they had been battling for surviving in the Premier League.

Liverpool beat West Ham United with a 4-0 score in the first tour easily. The leaders of the Reds Mane and Salah were having fun and had multiple attempts. The score could have been a lot bigger even though Mane scored one of his goals from the offside. However, it will be hard for Liverpool to play against Crystal Palace. Jurgen Klopp has always had problems facing the fully defensive teams. Overall Liverpool will be one of the favourites to win the Premier Leegue this season because their squad is just a whole package.
Crystal Palace and Liverpool have faced each other twelve times in Premier League in history, the Eagles won five of those matches, the Reds won six and one draw was set. However, in their last two matches between them Liverpool beat Crystal Palace both times (1-0, 2-1).
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.5 handicap.
