Liverpool travel to Crystal Palace for Saturday’s early kick off knowing that a victory will keep them at the top of the Premier League table.
Five wins and one defeat from their opening six matches mean Arne Slot’s side have a one point lead over current champions Manchester City and last season’s runners-up Arsenal. Liverpool secured three points against Wolves in their last league fixture thanks to a Mo Salah penalty in the second half.
“Everyone is realistic enough, all the players they understand that six games into the season doesn’t give you a realistic view on the league table,” Slot said.
Crystal Palace will certainly be hoping that is the case. The Eagles sit 18th in the table having not managed a single win in the top flight so far. An encouraging 0-0 draw with Man Utd was followed by a heart-breaking 2-1 loss to Everton as the Toffees came from behind to triumph at Goodison Park. Will Palace fare better against a different Merseyside club today?

Good morning!
Hello and welcome to The Independent’s coverage of today’s Premier League action.
Things kick off with Liverpool’s trip to Crystal Palace as the Reds look to extend their lead at the top of the table. Arne Slot’s side have only lost once in their first six league games and are in good form following a 2-0 win over Bologna during the week.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are searching for their first victory of the season and a chance to move out of the relegation places. The Eagles lost to Everton last time out and will have a much tougher time of things this afternoon.
We’ll have all the team news, line-ups and more from Selhurst Park so stick with us as we build up to kick off at 12.30pm.
