In the fifth round, London club Crystal Palace will take on Liverpool Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
Background information, news and team form
During this week, Liverpool played their first match in this year's Champions League against Italian side Ac Milan, who have revisited the millionaire competition after 7 years. Despite going ahead in the 9th minute thanks to an own goal by former Chelsea offspring Fikay Tomorohio, The Reds didn't hold on to their lead during the first half and by the end of the half Ac Milan turned the game in their favour after goals from Rebic and Diaz. Moreover, Salah failed to score from penalty spot in the 14th minute. Mohamed Salah finally atoned for his failed penalty and in the 49th minute he secured a draw that lasted until the 70th minute when captain Henderson sent his team into a 3-2 lead with a beautiful shot from outside the box, which the Reds already kept.
The London side is not playing any European competitions this season, so they had a chance to rest a bit longer and prepare tactically for this game against Liverpool. Crystal Palace managed an unexpected 3-0 win at home against Tottenham in their last game, who had only been winning up until then. The match was decided not only by the Spurs' large squad, but also by the inaccuracy in the end and especially by the meaningless second yellow card of the Tanganyika defender, which he received in the 58th minute. The visitors then played more than a third of the match in 10 and could not resist the Eagles' onslaught for long. In the 76th minute, Wilfried Zaha, the club's most valuable player, came through for the home side, after which Edouard added two goals on his debut to give him a dream debut.
Betdoin's view of the match
The Reds go into this match as odds-on favourites at odds of 1.22. A draw is available at odds of 7, while a win for the visitors could see odds of 15.60. Liverpool played a tough match during the week in which they lost a lot of strength although Liverpool's squad is relatively wide still many players who played during the week will play in this match as well. So we can expect rather less goals. Our clever Betdoin algorithm only confirms this statement, and sees value in an Under 3.5 goal bet for this match.
Absentees and estimated line-ups
Liverpool will miss young, promising midfielder Elliot, who received a nasty injury during the last Leeds game after Leeds midfielder Pascal Struijk seems to have got his sports mixed up. Elliot underwent successful surgery on his ankle but his return is still in sight. Jurgen Klopp will continue to miss Robert Riminho and Nec Williams, who are still injured.
As for the Eagles' squad, Michael Olise has already been involved at least as a substitute during the last game against Spurs, and it is possible that he will now start from the beginning. Eberechi Eze and Nathan Ferguson continue to recover from their injuries, and Patrick Viera won't have them available. Jeffrey Schlupp's start is also questionable.
Liverpool - estimated line-up:
Alisson - Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson - Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago - Salah, Jota, Mane
Crystal Palace - estimated line-up:
Guaita - Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell - McArthur, Kouyate, Gallagher - Ayew, Edouard, Zaha
