We simulated Crystal Palace vs Liverpool and lethal duo delivered again

Liverpool take part in their fourth early kick-off of the Premier League season so far when the Reds travel to the capital to take on Crystal Palace.

Goals from Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai handed Liverpool a 2-0 win over Sheffield United in their last Premier League outing, with the victory keeping the Reds second in the table, just two points behind leaders Arsenal. The gap between the Reds and Manchester City opened to four points after Pep Guardiola's side failed to win for the fourth consecutive league game, and victory for Jurgen Klopp's side on Saturday will send Liverpool top of the league - for a few hours at least.

The Reds have been boosted by the return of Alisson to training ahead of the trip to Crystal Palace, but Alexis Mac Allister is set to miss out after picking up a knock on Wednesday night. Liverpool are unbeaten against Palace in the last 11 meetings between the two, though both meetings last season ended in draws.

So can Liverpool go top of the Premier League on Saturday? Let's take a look.
