With both Crystal Palace and Liverpool coming off explosive opening victories, they will soon lock horns with each other once again. Join The Roar for live scores of the match from 5:00am (AEST).

Even if this game is at Selhurst Park, the Reds should be winning this.

The big three are fit and firing like never before. Roberto Firmino is great as always around the grounds, Sadio Mane keeps creating chances out of nothing, and Mo Salah just keeps on going. He has scored 29 goals in as many Premier League matches. The way you do.

Last campaign, they managed to end Manchester City’s 18-match winning run (and 30-match unbeaten run) with a thrilling 4-3 victory.

But Jurgen Klopp’s men will still be wanting redemption after their embarrassing loss to Real Madrid in the Champion’s League final.

They will want to show their doubters that the final was not an accurate representation of their normal selves, and should continue to do so against Palace.

The Eagles have had a very poor last two seasons in contrast. Their combined total of 23 wins in that time is just over half the number of wins Liverpool had in that time.

Although they are coming off a decent opening win, it was against a team who had just returned to the Premier League.

Furthermore, most of their wins have come against teams that have been struggling. At the moment, Liverpool are the exact opposite.

If they play like they have been in the past two years, things could start to get very ugly.

Prediction
I’m going to make this short and sharp. Liverpool to smash Crystal Palace. Salah to kick a brace.

Crystal Palace 1-5 Liverpool
