Two teams on the opposite side of the Premier League standings will clash against one another on Saturday when Crystal Palace will play host to Liverpool. The international break is over, and the two teams will now fight for the three points here. However, the match has a lot of background, and that's what we will investigate today. Crystal Palace is fighting to avoid the relegation, but injuries decimated them. Liverpool can finish as high as the 2nd spot in the Premier League, but they have a crucial match coming their way on Wednesday when they will play host to Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Crystal Palace (7-15-9) are having an unlucky season so far, due to the fact that they have suffered an absurd amount of injuries. They were in pretty bad shape in the first couple of months of 2018, but they entered the international break with a nice away victory against Huddersfield. They played good in that match, on both ends of the pitch, and scored a goal in each half. That win put an end to their four-match losing streak, and it was their first win since January 13th (0-5-2 since then). Crystal Palace is now sitting at the 16th spot of the Premier League with 30 points, just as many as West Ham. Both teams are only two points ahead of the relegation zone, and just one point behind Swansea and Huddersfield. Crystal Palace has not been very good at home so far in the season (4-6-5), where they have won just one of their last six (1-3-2). As if that wasn't enough, they will be coming into this match with a handful of injury concerns, as Dann, Puncheon, Sako, Schlupp, Sorloth, Speroni, and Ward have been ruled out, while Zaha is currently being listed as doubtful to participate.

On the other hand, Liverpool (18-4-9) were in solid form before the international break, as they had lost just one of their previous nine in all competitions (6-1-2). In their last match before the break, Liverpool destroyed Watford by a massive 0-5 at home. It was Mohammed Salah's show in that match, as the Egyptian star killed their opponents with a whopping four goals and an assist. The Egyptian is in really top form this season, and he is one of the men to watch in the coming World Cup. Now back to Liverpool, who are currently sitting at the 3rd spot of the Premier League with 63 points, two points ahead of Tottenham, and two points behind Manchester City. They are somewhat safe in regards to clinching one of the top four spots that lead to the Champions League next season. However, Liverpool has reached the Champions League's quarter-finals this season, where they will play host to Manchester City this coming Wednesday. It is a crucial match, so Liverpool will undoubtedly be somewhat distracted in their game against Crystal Palace. They will be making this trip with just a few injury concerns, as Clyne is the only one who has been ruled out, while Lovren and Robertson are still being listed as questionable to participate.
