Arne Slot’s side will go four points clear at the top if they beat winless Palace

Liverpool have the chance to put some more pressure on their Premier League title rivals as they travel to face Crystal Palace in the lunchtime kick-off. Victory will move the Reds four points clear at the top of the table, at least until Arsenal and Manchester City play later this afternoon.

Palace, on the other hand, are still waiting for their first Premier League win of the season, with pressure starting to build on Oliver Glasner. There have been some positive signs, though, with draws against Chelsea and Manchester United, but the Eagles still find themselves in the relegation zone.

Slot: Liverpool not getting carried away

Liverpool are top of the Premier League table and would move four points clear of Arsenal and Man City with a win, but Arne Slot has insisted none of his players will be getting too excited with the start to the season.

“No, we are Liverpool, so players are used to being on top of the league,” Slot said.

“It would be very weird if a player at Liverpool is all of a sudden with his head in the clouds.

“These players are experienced enough to understand the league table after six games as well and the schedule we have compared to some other teams.

“Second of all, Virgil, Ali [Alisson Becker], Trent, Robbo [Andy Robertson], Mo, they won the league here, they won the Champions League here.

Changes from both sides

Interesting decisions from both managers.

Arne Slot opts to rotate this afternoon, with Andy Robertson, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai all on the bench.

It means Kostas Tsimikas comes in at left-back, Curtis Jones starts in midfield and Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo get their chances up front.

As for Palace, Oliver Glasner drops Jean-Philippe Mateta to the bench, with Eddie Nketiah the lone striker. Big call.

Glasner on Palace form

Oliver Glasner has defended his side’s poor start to the season.

Crystal Palace have not yet won a Premier League match and sit in the relegation zone as it stands, but Glasner called for “realistic” expectations.

"It's unfair for anyone to expect us to win six out of seven games,” the Eagles boss said.

“I could give you many reasons but overall it’s unrealistic that we will win every game. At the moment, we are critical of ourselves.

“We are not in the best shape. It's hard work - nothing happens on its own."

Slot: No concerns over early kick-off

Arne Slot has insisted Liverpool should have no issues with the lunchtime kick-off in the Premier League, joking he would be a “stupid manager” if they did as that is when his side train.

Slot’s predecessor Jurgen Klopp regularly hit out at the scheduling for televised matches and how often Liverpool were given the 12:30pm slot on a Saturday, particularly away from home.

This afternoon’s clash at Selhurst Park leaves Slot and his players with a tight turnaround, after they beat Bologna on Wednesday night in the Champions League, but the Dutchman played down any concerns over the kick-off time.

“I think the league I come from, they are more aware and try to help teams in Europe,” Slot said at his press conference on Friday.

“But to be fair to English FA our schedule is tight so it is difficult. It has a lot to do with TV stations, it feels like I do an interview every day. I think they can pick a team for 12:30pm, so they choose Liverpool.

“People talk about 12:30pm, we talk about difficult away games. If 12:30pm was a difficult time to perform then I am a stupid manager because I train every day at midday!"

Standard Sport prediction

Liverpool are soaring with confidence at the moment and, shock defeat at home to Nottingham Forest aside, have been hugely impressive under Slot thus far despite a quiet summer in the transfer market.

The Dutchman is evidently reaping the rewards of such valuable continuity and his team are firing on all cylinders at present, which is likely to spell bad news for a struggling Palace side of whom much progress was expected this season after Glasner’s excellent run at the end of last term.

That hasn’t been the case at all so far though, with the insipid Eagles picking up only three points to date and on the receiving end of a rare comeback from fellow strugglers Everton last time out. All the signs point towards a comfortable away win at Selhurst.
