Whether Arne Slot will ever reach the same Merseyside fame as Jurgen Klopp, Bill Shankly, and Bob Paisley remains to be seen, but the Dutchman has already accomplished something none of his predecessors at Liverpool have achieved. By guiding the team to a 2-0 victory over Bologna on Wednesday—thanks to goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah—Slot became the first Liverpool manager to win eight of his first nine matches across all competitions.

It’s been since their title-winning 2019-20 season that Liverpool has won their first four away games of a Premier League season, and Slot could join an elite group of just four managers in league history to win their first four away matches, alongside Felipe Scolari, John Gregory, and Bobby Gould.

On the other hand, Crystal Palace, revitalized last season under Europa League-winning manager Oliver Glasner, seems to have struggled this summer. Their recent match against Everton presented a golden opportunity to secure their first points of the season, especially after Marc Guehi scored early on. However, Dwight McNeil's quick second-half brace turned the game around for Everton.

Despite sitting 18th in the Premier League table and below Leicester City on goal difference, Glasner's position is not considered immediately at risk, thanks to his accomplishments from last season and recent EFL Cup victories over Norwich City and Queens Park Rangers.


Prediction:   Crystal Palace 0-2 Liverpool
