Game Preview
The Reds are just five points away from winning the Premier League and own a great chance to pull closer to glory Wednesday when they host Crystal Palace. Even though the Eagles have been a hard team to beat, it's worth mentioning Liverpool are yet to lose or draw at Anfield this season (15 wins in 15 matches), scoring 40 goals and conceding 12 times during that span. The Reds, however, are coming off a disappointing scoreless draw at Everton last week. Meanwhile, Palace are coming off a 2-0 win at Bournemouth and have quietly assembled a four-game winning streak. They will have enough confidence to face the Reds, though Liverpool are massive favorites in the match.
Recent Form

Top Picks
Sadio Mane, Liverpool: Mane has been one of Liverpool's best players this season, but he seems to have Crystal Palace's number dialed down. The Senegal international has found the back of the net five times in his last five meetings against the London-based club, including four after the break.
Mohamed Salah, Liverpool: Salah couldn't make a big impact against Liverpool, but the Egypt international is reportedly fit and ready ahead of this matchup. He has been Liverpool's top scorer this season and should be trusted with a big role almost every time he steps on the pitch.
