    The model's likeliest scoreline. Exact-score markets pay well and land rarely, so stake lightly.

How do the two teams set up?

Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Liverpool

A side with title-level depth. Liverpool tend to suffocate opponents at Anfield, so Palace will need a disciplined, low block.

Away

Crystal Palace

Expect Palace to stay compact on their trip to Anfield and look for a moment rather than control the game.

What would change our mind?

The developments we would react to before kick-off.

  • If Liverpool name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.

  • If Palace score first

    The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.

The story of Liverpool vs Palace

Liverpool take on Crystal Palace in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Liverpool's way. The gap in expected goals (2.42 for Liverpool, 0.72 for Palace) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 75% for Liverpool. Palace's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
