Liverpool travel to Selhurst Park on Saturday to take on Crystal Palace in the day's early Premier League kickoff.
The champions are coming off a massive home win on Wednesday, when Roberto Firmino's 90th-minute winner gave them the three points against Tottenham Hotspur. That win took Liverpool three points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
The Reds will look to set right what has been a mediocre away record. They haven't won their last five league games on the road since beating Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in September.
For Crystal Palace, their last home game was a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
Jeff Schlupp scored a late equalizer for the Eagles, but they had their goalkeeper Vicente Guaita to thank for keeping their point intact, with the Spaniard making crucial late saves to deny Harry Kane and Eric Dier.
Roy Hodgson's team are 12th in the Premier League at the moment, but only 10 points separate them from the league leaders. In their last game, Palace drew 1-1 against West Ham United at the London Stadium.
