EPL - Liverpool Vs Crystal Palace Today At 4:00 Pm by luvola(m): 11:21am On Nov 08, 2015 |
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew believes his side will meet a Liverpool squad that has the quality to comfortably finish in the Barclays Premier League's top four when they head to Anfield on Sunday. Jurgen Klopp has won three and drawn three in his first six fixtures after replacing Brendan Rodgers but Pardew says the ability in his opposition's squad is already there. Pardew's side have picked up one point from their past three league outings, as well as suffering a 5-1 defeat at Manchester City in the League Cup and Pardew anticipates another tough examination. "I thought in the summer that they have a top-four squad and that has not changed despite the change in manager," he said. "They are Liverpool and they should be top four. I think Christian Benteke is a terrific player and Klopp has arrived with great players there. "Benteke is a different kind of threat to what they have had before and a great signing. There is a higher press under Klopp's management and we know that is coming - we can cope with that. "But they carry great players and great players can change games - Roberto Firmino did that at Stoke. We have to focus on what they are not good at and defending is an issue at the club so we will look to exploit that. "We have come up against everyone in form, we are having one of those runs. But our performance against Manchester United, we must take great heart form that because only one team deserved to win it and that was us." Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is in confident mood after he did not have a single shot to save in the Europa League win over Rubin Kazan on Thursday, his side's third straight victory in all competitions. "Three wins in a row have been great for our confidence but we need to look forward," Mignolet told the Liverpool Echo. "We need to recover as quickly as we can for the game on Sunday. With all the travelling we don’t have much time. "After the 3-1 win at Chelsea, the next day we were thinking about what we could improve and that is how we have to look at it again. We need to improve again for what will be a very tough fixture against Crystal Palace." Klopp will have to make do with a number of key players including Daniel Sturridge (knee), Kolo Toure (hamstring), Jordan Henderson (foot) as well as long-term absentees Joe Gomez, Danny Ings and Jon Flanagan. Connor Wickham and Marouane Chamakh are both back in training for Palace, although Pardew believes the Anfield game could come too soon for them. Dwight Gayle is also a major doubt having suffered a setback in training. Eighth-place Liverpool sit four points adrift of the top four and one clear of 10th-place Palace going into the weekend's action. Liverpool (from): Bogdan, Mignolet, Clyne, Jose Enrique, Lovren, Moreno, Sakho, Skrtel, Allen, Can, Coutinho, Ibe, Lallana, Lucas, Milner, Teixeira, Benteke, Firmino, Origi. Crystal Palace (from): Hennessey, McCarthy, Speroni, Dann, Delaney, Hangeland, Kelly, Mariappa, Souare, Ward, Bolasie, Cabaye, Guedioura, Jedinak, Ledley, McArthur, Mutch, Puncheon, Sako, Zaha, Bamford, Campbell, Gayle.
