After a triumphant night out in the Champions League, Liverpool turns their focus this weekend in the Premier League as they host Crystal Palace. The match schedules for Saturday at Anfield with kickoff at 5 pm.
The Reds registered a thrilling 3-2 win over AC Milan during their midweek Champions League duties. On the other hand, Crystal Palace proved light work of Tottenham last weekend with a 3-0 win.
Liverpool vs. AC Milan was one stroll down memory lane that lived up to its expectations at Anfield. Both sides brought their best foot forward to give a full spectacle.
A Fikayo Timori’s own goal opened the scoring account before Mohamed Salah’s penalty was saved by Maignam. However, Milan put up a quick response with two goals by Ante Rebic and Brahim Diaz before the half-time whistle.
However, Captain Dean Henderson came through in the second half with Mohamed Salah to seal off an incredible night. In addition, the Reds return to the Premier League after delivering a 3-0 win over Leeds United.
On the other hand, head coach Patrick Viera continued his 100% winning record against former arch rivals Tottenham last weekend. It was an unbelievable debut for Odsonne Edouard with a brace after coming off the bench.
However, the Eagles travel to Anfield having lost three and drawn one of their last four Premier League away matches. The away record at Anfield is something Viera will need to improve.
