First place in the Premier League table is up for grabs on Saturday lunchtime, as Liverpool make the trip south to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The Reds ruined Chris Wilder's Sheffield United return with a 2-0 beating of Sheffield United in midweek, while discontent grew in the capital as Palace lost to Bournemouth by the same scoreline


Christmas cheer is in limited supply at Selhurst Park at the minute, as Roy Hodgson's side were booed off the pitch while the veteran coach was allegedly targeted by a bottle thrown from the stands following a dampening home defeat versus Bournemouth.

A pair of headers from Marcos Senesi and Kieffer Moore either side of the half-time whistle condemned Palace to their third defeat from their last four games during a miserable winter spell, before Hodgson launched into a tirade about "spoiled" Palace fans, many of whom headed for the exits once Moore's header flew in.

With just a solitary point taken from their last four Premier League fixtures, the Eagles - who often sit happily in mid-table mediocrity - are sleepwalking towards the danger zone in 14th place in the table, although a nine-point cushion still separates them from Everton.

A spate of untimely injury problems have not helped the hosts' cause in recent weeks, but fuel is constantly being added to the fire surrounding the future of Hodgson, especially with Steve Cooper believed to be on the brink of the Nottingham Forest sack and apparently being lined up as his successor.

For the time being, Hodgson can only place his focus on his training ground drills as Palace aim to end a five-game winless run at Selhurst Park - where their last three have all ended in defeat - but the home crowd will likely head to Selhurst on Saturday in hope rather than expectation.

Common you palace over 2.5....make it happen for me

In football betting you involve all logic psychology and intelligence minus emotions and you will win your bet

In a game like this I don't have anything to say because I'm a Liverpool fan and I will be too emotional to intelligently predict the outcome

But if you still want me to go ahead and predict then I will urge everyone to carry the game under 1.5 first half

Straight win for Liverpool 4:1

Up Liverpool

#YNWA

Crystal Palace 3 Liverpool 2.
Man UTD 0 Bournemouth 2

This one is gonna be tough simply because it's an early kickoff and LFC is away but we will come out unscathed at the sound of the final whistle. In nutshell, 3points is sure here.

No easy matches these days. You must sweat for your 3pts.
