Two clubs in the bottom half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Crystal Palace and Liverpool. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET will be held at Selhurst Park and Liverpool and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on CNBC.
What They're Saying
Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock (via News Shopper): "Our defense will have to put in another convincing display like they did at Manchester United. That is vital, but we also need to create a bit more ourselves. It is all about finding that happy medium."
"We're not daft," he added. "We know we are going to have to play extremely well, but with a fantastic atmosphere behind us, we can give them a game."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Daniel Sturridge suffering another injury setback (thigh), Liverpool must rely on the scoring abilities of Mario Balotelli. The 24-year-old, struggling with form, is yet to open his Premier League account with club.
Crystal Palace's Projected Lineup (4-4-1-1): Speroni; Ward, Delaney, Dann, Mariappa; Bolasie, Jedinak, Ledley, Zaha; Chamkh, Campbell
Liverpool's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Mignolet; Moreno, Lovren, Skrtel, Johnson; Henderson, Gerrard; Coutinho, Lallana, Sterling; Balotelli
