Match Stats

Jurgen Klopp's team unpleasantly surprised last Thursday, when in front of the home crowd suffered a crushing defeat to Atalanta in the quarter-final stage of the Europa League. Of course, we all know how Liverpool can come back into the game, but it is worth admitting that the 0:3 result minimises the Reds' chances of playing in the semi-finals. The Merseysiders are second in the English league, behind Arsenal only on extra time, while Manchester City are one point ahead. Liverpool played an away game at Old Trafford last weekend, where they only drew 2-2 with Manchester United.The Glazers have a difficult stretch of the calendar, as they have an away match against Liverpool following Manchester City. In the home game against the Citizens, Crystal Palace managed to score first in the 4th minute, but Oliver Glasner's side failed to hold off the City attack and lost 2:4. As a result, Crystal Palace are currently in 14th place in the APL standings with 30 points. Oliver Glasner's team is separated from the relegation zone by only five points and this handicap has reduced due to the recent results of the team. Thus, Crystal Palace are unable to win in five matches in a row (three defeats and two draws).
