According to Chris Sutton, Liverpool must secure three points against Crystal Palace to maintain their title challenge. With Arsenal and Manchester City both in strong form, dropping points could prove costly for Jurgen Klopp’s side. Despite the perceived importance of the match, Sutton believes it will result in a straightforward victory for Liverpool.

A concern for Liverpool is Mohamed Salah’s lack of sharpness since his return from injury, as he has been missing chances he would normally convert. The team needs to swiftly accumulate points to avoid getting drawn into the relegation battle, but their recent form at Anfield has not been promising. Sutton has predicted a 3-0 victory for Liverpool, which would position them in second place as he anticipates wins for Arsenal and Manchester City in their respective matches.

This would be a much-needed response following Liverpool’s recent defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League. Jurgen Klopp has emphasized the necessity for a reaction from his players after the disappointing result against Atalanta. He acknowledged the disappointment of the defeat and emphasized the importance of regrouping and preparing for the upcoming match against Crystal Palace.
