Liverpool v Crystal Palace result predicted by supercomputer

Liverpool will be in celebratory mode when they face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.

Following the match at Anfield, the Merseyside club will be presented with their 20th top-flight trophy in front of their supporters.

However, Palace will be primed to spoil the party after they won their first major trophy in the club’s 120-year history.

Liverpool overwhelming favourites for Palace clash

Recent history suggests that this match could go either way, despite Liverpool being 11 places and 31 points above their opponents.

The Eagles famously ended the Reds’ chances of winning the Premier League back in 2014 after a 3-3 draw at Selhurst Park.

That defining moment was encapsulated in footage of star striker Luis Suarez beside himself in tears.

Of course, Oliver Glasner’s side cannot end the Anfield club’s title hopes here, but they could cause an upset.

Arne Slot’s side have been out of sorts since clinching the league title, and are without a win in their last three.

As for the South London club, they are given a 19.2 per cent chance of glory, while a draw is 17.9 per cent likely.

Palace will be tough opponent for Slot

Depending on how much Palace fancy it, they could pose Liverpool a real threat this weekend.

They, too, have won silverware, having lifted the FA Cup, and could take their foot off the gas at Anfield.

On the other hand, they will want to give the travelling supporters something to shout about, and what better way to do that than defeat the champions.

Glasner’s front three pose a tough challenge for the Reds’ defence, with Eberechi Eze, Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Ismaila Sarr all in form.

Of course, on the final day, managers have a habit of mixing up their sides, which will significantly impact the game.

Whatever happens, this one is likely to stir up a storm of a final game at Anfield.
