Crystal Palace take on the visitors Liverpool in the round 7 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 5th at Selhurst Park (London).
Crystal Palace played under Hodgson for a long time, delivering consistent yet modest results. At one point, "Old Roy" was replaced and then brought back to fix what Vieira had messed up in a year and a half. However, even the experienced manager has his limits, and due to health issues last season, he was replaced by Glasner midway through the campaign. It’s clear that Oliver was given the spring period to acclimatize at the Premier League level. He quickly began showing strong performances and positive results with his new squad. However, things haven’t been going smoothly this season, and the team has been inconsistent. It's not just down to the departures of Johnston, Olise, and Andersen, especially since they were replaced by Sarr, Nketiah, Chalobah, and Turner. So far, Palace have only won in the League Cup, defeating Norwich and QPR, while starting the Premier League with two losses. In their last match, after draws with Chelsea, Leicester, and Manchester United, they suffered a defeat to relegation-threatened Everton.

Liverpool showing top form. The "Reds" have taken an interesting approach. Yes, a full era has come to an end, and Klopp has become a living legend at the club. But Arne Slot has essentially "inherited" a well-built squad. Who has left? Thiago, who never truly settled in England, Adrian, who was not even the second-choice keeper anymore, and some young talents who weren’t quite ready for first-team football. They only brought in Chiesa on a bargain deal—Juventus was offloading the Euro 2020 champion. Technically, they also signed Mamardashvili, but the Georgian will remain in Spain for a year. It's no surprise that Slot was smart enough not to dismantle what was already working well. His reward has been a strong start, including a 3-0 win away at Manchester United and a 3-1 victory in Milan in the opening round of the Champions League. Only Nottingham Forest shocked them with a surprise win at Anfield, but that was an exception, as Liverpool followed it up with confident victories over Wolverhampton and Bologna.
In the 2021-22 season, the teams drew. Last season, they exchanged away wins. The "Eagles" have been unimpressive and don't seem like a serious challenge for a rejuvenated Liverpool side. We predict a comfortable win for the visitors with a handicap of "-1.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1,5 handicap.
