Liverpool come into this clash without Hugo Ekitike, who picked up a red card in midweek Carabao Cup action against Southampton, a dismissal described as “stupid” after he received a second yellow for over-celebrating.

Arne Slot’s men will now look to maintain their perfect Premier League start at Selhurst Park, where Palace also arrive unbeaten and eager to prove they can mix it with the very best.
Palace may have edged the Reds on penalties in the Community Shield last month, but in the league, Liverpool have dominated this fixture for over a decade. The Eagles have won just once in their last 16 Premier League meetings with the Reds winning nine of their last ten league visits to south London.
Crystal Palace v Liverpool tips
• Both teams to score – 33/50 with Bet365
• Mohamed Salah to score or assist – 18/25 with Bet365
• Jean-Philippe Mateta to have 1+ shot on target – 2/5 with Bet365
Both teams to score
Selhurst Park has been a tough hunting ground for opposition defences under Oliver Glasner. Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored 29 goals in 55 Premier League appearances for the Austrian, and Palace are unbeaten in 11 league games heading into this clash.
Liverpool, however, have scored first in eight of their last nine away games and Mohamed Salah has been involved in 14 goals in 16 games against Palace.
With both teams boasting attacking firepower and neither often winning by more than one goal, BTTS at 33/50 with Bet365 looks like strong value.
Tip: Both teams to score @33/50
Bet explanation: This bet wins if both Crystal Palace and Liverpool score at least a goal each.
Mohamed Salah to score or assist
The Egyptian thrives in this fixture. Salah has nine goals and five assists in 16 Premier League appearances against Crystal Palace, while he’s been directly involved in five goals across his last six league games for Liverpool.
He’s also just two goal involvements away from equalling Wayne Rooney’s record at a single club (274 for Manchester United).
With Palace’s Tyrick Mitchell likely to have his hands full, Salah remains Liverpool’s most reliable attacking outlet. At 18/25 with Bet365, backing him to score or assist looks almost routine.
Tip: Mohamed Salah to score or assist @18/25
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Mohamed Salah scores or assists against Crystal Palace
Jean-Philippe Mateta to have 1+ shot on target
If Palace are going to land a blow, Mateta is the man to watch. His minutes-per-goal ratio under Glasner is the best of any player with 1,000+ minutes, and he’s played at least a shot on target in each of Palace’s Premier League games this season.
Even when Palace don’t score many, Mateta tends to test the goalkeeper, and against a Liverpool side that has conceded in five of their seven games this season, he should find space for at least one effort on target. At 2/5 with Bet365, this is a bet grounded in both stats and form.
Tip: Jean-Philippe Mateta to have 1+ shot on target
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Jean-Philippe Mateta plays at least one shot on target against Liverpool.
