Liverpool eyes to regain the top spot in the Premier League as they host Crystal Palace today,10 AM EST at Anfield with the visitors desperate for a win after recording just one this season as against five losses.
Liverpool is the odds-on pick to win this game against the Premier League newcomers who have just one win to show, a victory over Sunderland, and given up 10 goals as opposed to the four goals they've scored. Crystal Palace has also failed to score a goal in their last three games.
But Liverpool has its own share of problems. Lucas Leiva is out for this game as he is serving a suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season, leaving Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers on the lookout for a replacement. Jordan Henderson is predicted to be replacing Leiva to the centre, accoding to The Guardian.
For Crystal Palace, Yannick Bolasie may play in his first game of the season. The winger is recovering from a torn hamstring and traveled with the club to Anfield. Defender Damien Delaney, on the other hand, is expected to join the team after recovering from an ankle knock.
Liverpool has been off to a fantastic start. Their last game as a rout of Sunderland Black Cats, 3-1. In that game, Danie Sturridge and Luis Suarez dominated with their play and grabbed goals to lead the Reds to the victory. If they win, the Reds will temporarily hold the top spot in the league until the outcome of the Arsenal-West Brom match-up on Sunday afternoon.
