Palace Preview: Champions Liverpool provide familiar test for Eagles

Crystal Palace welcome champions Liverpool to Selhurst Park on Saturday, 19th December as the Eagles look to make it four league games unbeaten.

Despite not starting the season in quite such a dominant manner as last year, Jürgen Klopp’s side remain one of the toughest tests in the Premier League.

Victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Wednesday sent Liverpool back to the top of the Premier League table. A late Roberto Firmino goal secured three points after they were given a brief scare by the visitors, who struck the woodwork with scores level.

It will be the second weekend a row that Palace welcome the league leaders to Selhurst Park, after coming back to secure a deserved draw against Jose Mourinho’s Spurs on Sunday.
