Liverpool v Crystal Palace preview: Team news, lineups, predictions
Liverpool are set to play their final game of the 2024/25 campaign on Sunday as they host Crystal Palace.
Anfield is no doubt going to be bouncing as supporters wait to see the Reds lift the trophy.
However, before the ceremony can get underway, Liverpool must first get past FA Cup winners Crystal Palace.
Preview
Liverpool has nothing to play for going into the last game. The title has been theirs throughout the entirety of May.
As a result, Arne Slot’s side have been in poor form, with Liverpool recently setting a woeful Premier League record after three matches without a victory.
In comparison, Crystal Palace also have little on the line. The London club currently sit 12th but could hypothetically finish as high as ninth if there is a big goal difference swing.
