Liverpool under the spotlight after Real Madrid humiliation

Liverpool look to bounce back after humiliating defeat in the Champions League

3 points are absolutely imperative for the visitors this afternoon as Liverpool travel to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace. Despite going 2-0 up inside 15 minutes against Real Madrid on Wednesday night in their Champions League Last 16 first leg, Liverpool went on to lose 5-2 in a shambolic defeat.

The visitors head into the game 7 points off the top 4 in the league, but they do have two games in hand over Tottenham who sit in fourth. Liverpool come into tonight’s game off the back of back-to-back Premier League victories, both 2-0 victories over Everton and Newcastle respectively. Their 2-0 win against Newcastle at St James’ Park last Saturday was the Magpies’ first defeat at home this season as Liverpool completed the double over them.

Liverpool do not have a great record away from home this season, losing nine of their 17 away games in all competitions so far this season.

For Crystal Palace, they are agonisingly close to all 3 points last weekend away at Brentford only to concede an equaliser in the 96th minute. They sit 12th in the Premier League table, 5 points above the relegation zone.

They are without a win since New Year’s Eve, a run of eight games in all competitions.

Liverpool have won seven successive away league games against Crystal Palace by an aggregate score of 22-6. Liverpool know they need to keep winning to maintain their push for a top four spot, Palace need a win to make sure they are not looking over their shoulders for the rest of the season. Both sides need the 3 points tonight, for different reasons.

Full team news on the way shortly.
