Benteke looks rejuvenated following his move to Palace

The Belgian forward had a tumultuous time at Liverpool and could never truly adapt at Liverpool under both Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp. However, things look different at Crystal Palace and the player has cemented his position as the starting striker under Alan Pardew.

Palace rely heavily on wing play and crossing, thus playing to Benteke’s strengths. His physicality coupled with his wonderful aerial ability also makes him a real threat in the air. The South London club host Benteke’s former team Liverpool this week and Benteke will be looking to prove a point.

The Red’s have shown weakness when it comes to defending set pieces and this is something that Crystal Palace should definitely target with Benteke at the helm of things.
