Liverpool can take a massive step towards securing a Champions League spot for next season with a win against Crystal Palace on Saturday.The Reds pursuit of a top-five finish was enhanced by their win at Everton on Sunday courtesy of Virgil van Dijks last-gasp header and Chelseas defeat at home to Manchester United.A home game with Palace is an excellent opportunity to clinch another three points, with the visitors potentially having one eye on Thursdays away first leg of their Conference League semi-final against Shakhtar Donetsk.Liverpool boss Arne Slot remains wary of an Eagles side who beat them on penalties in the Community Shield as well as the reverse Premier League fixture and the EFL Cup this season.He said: As always, what makes it difficult is the players you face. They have a good team. They already had a good team two or three years ago.They have a very good manager [Oliver Glasner] who is able to bring a lot of discipline to that team. It is really hard to create chances against them.It doesnt matter what game you are watching. You havent seen the other team create a chance against them.On the other hand, they are very direct with their attacking style. They have conceded the fewest goals after Arsenal [and Manchester City]. That tells you a lot.Outgoing boss Glasner will lead Palace at Anfield for the final time and says his players have a massive chance to earn a fourth win of 2025/26 against them.If we win twice against Liverpool, its very good, said the Austrian. To win three times is amazing. Now we have the opportunity to win against Liverpool four times in one season.Its something unique you dont play a team like Liverpool four times a year very often. Having three wins already is massive.We are really happy and motivated because maybe this will never happen again. Anfield is such an amazing stadium.Table of ContentsWhere to watch Liverpool v Crystal PalaceLiverpool v Crystal Palace statsWhere to watch Liverpool v Crystal PalaceKick-off on Saturday is at 15:00 GMT (12:00 ET / 09:00 PT).
