Crystal Palace XI vs Liverpool: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Premier League match

Crystal Palace are so nearly through their horror run of games, described this month by captain Luka Milivojevic as a "mini-Champions League".

The Eagles host runaway League leaders Liverpool this weekend to round off a run of games which included facing four of the traditional big six and gatecrashers Leicester.

Roy Hodgson's side have taken just one point from the run until now, though a bright start to the Premier League campaign means it has only put a small dent in their season.

It is an encounter which should favour Palace's counter-attacking style of play but while Hodgson's side are fond of a scalp or two, an upset here would be one of their finest.

If they are to claim anything from the game, Palace must hope that neither Joel Ward of Wilfried Zaha sustained serious damage during the defeat to Chelsea before the break.

Inflicting a first defeat on Liverpool this season would be quite something, though perhaps more importantly is the run of games against those around and below Palace which follow.
