As Jurgen Klopp’s Reds welcome Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace, Liverpool may be one win delayed from their title crown.
As the premier league champions for the 2019/2020 season is only a question of when rather than who, Liverpool are faced by a team with the best form at the moment. The stats would amaze you, read below.
Liverpool have won five successive league games against the Eagles and scored 11 goals in the process.
Palace are the only team to have beaten a Jurgen Klopp-managed Liverpool side more than once at Anfield.
Crystal Palace’s three most recent league wins over the Reds have all been at Anfield – in 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17.
Liverpool will be crowned Premier League champions if they beat Crystal Palace and Manchester City fail to win at Chelsea on Thursday.
The Reds have won only two of their past seven matches in all competitions (D1, L4).
They have dropped five points in their last three league games, more than they did in their previous 38 fixtures.
The Reds have won their last 22 league games at Anfield, the best ever winning home run in English top-flight history.
Liverpool are unbeaten in 55 home league matches (W45, D10) since a 2-1 defeat by Palace in April 2017.
Only five of the Reds’ league-high 13 clean sheets have come at Anfield.
Their record of 27 wins, two draws and one defeat is the best by any club after 30 matches in the history of the top five European leagues.
Palace are the Premier League’s in-form team with four straight wins, just one shy of their club record.
Fabinho could feature in his 50th Premier League appearance. The Brazilian has been on the winning side in 23 of his 24 Premier League games at Anfield.
Roy Hodgson’s side have lost seven of their 10 games against the clubs above them in the table (W1, D2).
Palace have equalled their top-flight club record of four successive clean sheets, previously set in 1970, with goalkeeper Vicente Guaita not conceding a goal in 362 league minutes.
They have six points more after 30 matches of a Premier League season than they have ever had before.
They have scored a league-low nine first-half goals, with two of those coming at Bournemouth last Saturday.
The Eagles are unbeaten in all nine games in which top scorer Jordan Ayew scored this season (W7, D2).
Sadio Mané has scored 8 goals in 10 Premier League appearances against Crystal Palace.
With the records pointing at Palace as a scary side to Title bound Liverpool, the crowning ceremony may be one game delayed.
