Liverpool look set for a top four finish
Liverpool head into the final week of the 2020/21 Premier League season in fourth place after an impressive 3-0 victory over Burnley on Wednesday night. They’re level on points with Leicester now, and know that anything less than a victory against Crystal Palace could jeopardise their chances of playing in the Champions League next season.
Luckily for Liverpool, they’re in great form at the moment, having won their last four games in a row, and look like they’ll be able to seal Champions League qualification this weekend. It’ll be a nervy affair, but they should get the job done.
Crystal Palace have nothing to lose this weekend
Crystal Palace will be looking to send Roy Hodgson off in style with a win in the final game of the season against Liverpool. Currently sitting 13th in the table, with no relegation scrap or fight for Europe to look forward to, Crystal Palace literally have nothing to lose in the final weekend of the season.
Following a disappointing late loss to Arsenal on Wednesday night, Palace will be hoping to end their season on a high and kill off Liverpool’s top four hopes. Benteke may cause some issues against his own club, but we cannot see Palace really threatening the Reds much this Sunday.
The last couple of fixtures between the teams have been comfortable Liverpool wins. They won the reverse fixture 7-0 back in December, their biggest win over the Eagles in the Premier League era. They also put 4 past them at Anfield last season too. Crystal Palace failed to score a goal in either fixture.
Crystal Palace have not beaten Liverpool since their 2-1 win at Anfield back in April 2017.
Overall the teams have met each other 56 times. Liverpool have won 31 times, whilst Palace have won 14 times. There have been 11 draws since the team’s first competitive meeting in 1938.

Liverpool look set for yet another win vs Palace
Our Premier League prediction weekend tip is that Liverpool will beat Crystal Palace at Anfield and guarantee their place in next season’s Champions League.

We can’t see Palace being much of a challenge for the Reds, even though they have nothing to lose and will be looking to end their season on a high.
We’ve also tipped Christian Benteke to score in our Premier league predictions today. The Belgian is in great form, having scored four in his last four. He’ll be looking to continue this streak against his old club on Sunday afternoon.
