Two bitter English rivals face off as Crystal Palace host Liverpool at the illustrious Selhurst Park Stadium in Matchday 16 of the Premier League.
Crystal Palace's recent run of results could serve as a worry for veteran manager Roy Hodgson with the side accumulating just four points out of the available 15. Defeats against Everton, Luton Town, and Bournemouth have dumped them to a mid-table position as they'll be vying to put a halt on Liverpool's winning streak.
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool had a shaky start to their campaign but the Reds have stuck together and revamped their campaign as they are seeded in the second spot in the table. Three wins and two draws in their last five games have helped the Merseyside outfit to leapfrog their bitter-rivals and reigning champions Manchester City as they look to strengthen their position and reduce the two points gap between themselves and leaders Arsenal with a win on Saturday.
