Crystal Palace v Liverpool: Matchweek 10 Premier League preview for Selhurst Park on November 8
Crystal Palace will host Liverpool at Selhurst Park Stadium in South London on Sunday, November 8 in Matchweek 10 of the Premier League, with kick-off scheduled for 7:30 p.m. IST.
Crystal Palace sit in the relegation zone with seven points from nine games and have won only one of their last seven matches. They come into the fixture after a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in which they were reduced to ten men early in the game, and the club are also competing in the UEFA Europa League amid these struggles. After Oliver Glasner’s departure, Pierre Sage took charge; in 15 games Sage has recorded five wins and averaged 1.2 points per game.
Liverpool occupy fifth place in the Premier League with 15 points from nine games despite consecutive defeats in their most recent matches. The Reds lost 1-0 to Arsenal and were beaten 3-2 by Fenerbahce in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Their away record is noted in the source as winning their last three away games and conceding only once in those fixtures.
Form across all competitions reads Crystal Palace: D-L-W-L-D and Liverpool: L-L-D-W-W. Iraola will be keen to get back to winning ways with a victory over Crystal Palace in London, according to the provided material.
Daichi Kamada, described as the Japanese midfielder, is expected to shoulder significant responsibility in Palace’s midfield; his stoppage-time intervention secured a point against Hoffenheim in the UEL. In the English top tier Kamada has featured in nine games and registered four goal contributions, comprising one goal and three assists. Gravenberch is doubtful to play and Liverpool’s midfield is set to include young Trey Nyoni, setting up a midfield contest between Kamada and Nyoni.
The French winger for Liverpool is yet to open his Premier League goals account but has supplied two assists in seven league appearances and scored a hat-trick against LASK in the UEFA Champions League in Austria a couple of weeks ago. He started Liverpool’s last two matches, both defeats, and is expected to face American defender Chris Richards in a three-man Palace defensive setup; the source comments that his sudden bursts of acceleration inside the final third frequently win set pieces in dangerous positions.
Host absences include Jean Philippe Mateta, who is suspended after receiving a red card against Spurs after 13 minutes, while Chadi Riad, Tomiyasu and Ismaila Sarr are listed as injured. Liverpool are without Gravenberch (doubtful), Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley. The projected lineups provided are: Crystal Palace — Dean Henderson (GK); Chris Richards, Axel Disasi, Jayhee Canvot; Óscar Mingueza, Adam Wharton, Daichi Kamada, Tyrick Mitchell; Dwight McNeil, Yeremy Pino; Evann Guessand. Liverpool — Alisson Becker (GK); Ronald Araújo, Jérémy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez; Alexis Mac Allister, Trey Nyoni; Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola; Alexander Isak.
Despite Crystal Palace’s difficulties and Mateta’s suspension, the source expects a closely contested match with Liverpool edging a narrow win; the prediction given is Crystal Palace 0-1 Liverpool FC. The match can be streamed in India on JioHotstar and will be available on the Star Sports Network, while viewers in the UK can watch on Sky Sports.
