It's an end of an era at Anfield Stadium. Saturday's match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace will serve as Steven Gerrard's goodbye to his hallowed grounds. It is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
What They're Saying
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via BBC Sport): "He's [Gerrard] somebody I'd love to have working with me when he has finished playing. That opportunity for him to come back will be there for as long as I'm here."
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew (via the Guardian): "Yes, it does help keep other players at the club. You need to keep your best technical players. The level we are at, in terms of that 10 or 15 clubs below the very top teams, it's difficult to get players of [Jason Puncheon's] ability."
The In-Form Player
Gerrard has failed to live up to previous form, but the iconic midfielder is prepared to finish his campaign in style. In 27 league appearances, the club captain has eight goals and an average of 1.8 key passes.
Projected Lineups
Liverpool (4-3-3): Mignolet; Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Can; Gerrard, Leiva, Henderson; Coutinho, Sterling, Lallana
