Crystal Palace FC vs. LFC

Saturday, September 18, 2021 - 10:00 AM EDT at Anfield

Form, Mentality, Premier League Odds and Trends

Liverpool are undefeated in their previous 14 games consecutivelyLiverpool have scored in all of their last 14 EPL matchesLiverpool average 2.00 goals on home turfCrystal Palace have conceded 19 goals in their last 5 meetings with Liverpool

Luck at the Palace Ends Here

Patrick Viera hasn't owned the most fabulous start to his managerial career at Crystal Palace, but it could certainly be worse. The former Arsenal star has pushed his team into defeating London rivalled Tottenham 3-0 last weekend, and another London foe West Ham were held to a 2-2 draw on home turf.

However, Jurgen Klopp, with his Liverpool squad inside Anfield, is a different beast. As we witnessed during the Champions League midweek, Liverpool can defy the odds and overcome a 2-1 deficit like it never happened – a 3-2 victory over AC Milan might deliver some wobbly legs. Still, Liverpool's reserve has enough to match up with Palace.

Final Thoughts| Premier League Betting Tips

Goal scoring for this Liverpool squad has been effortless, landing three or more goals in three of their last five fixtures. When you watch Chelsea defeat Palace 3-0 at Stamford Bridge, you start to realize that Liverpool can accomplish the exact same scoreline.

Jurgen Klopp's team has looked like the title-challenging squad they were before last season's injury-plagued, and Crystal Palace is no match.

No Grealish, No Problem

It's hasn't been a positive beginning to Villa's post-Grealish outings, but there are numerous positives that the Villains can take from their first four games of the season. One of them being their goal-scoring efforts – outside of their Stanford Bridge trip, they've managed to score in all of their fixtures, including a 2-0 defeat over Newcastle.

Everton has made a near-perfect start under Rafa Benitez, collecting three wins and one draw in their opening games of the season. Because of Everton's early success, they're currently disrupting the "top-six" teams by holding onto 4th place in the Premier League, and as the most expensive squad outside of the "top-six", this shouldn't come as a surprise.

Final Thoughts| Premier League Betting Tips

Andros Townsend's blistering goal against Burnley is fresh on my mind and is evidence of the growing talent and new faces at Goodison Park that will cause damage this term.

With that said, we can't ignore Aston Villa's goal-scoring efforts thus far, making this fixture an easy 'both teams to score' prediction for me. Incredible value at the top sportsbooks for two teams who've been putting them away since matchday 1.

Aston Villa vs. Everton Score prediction: A Villa 1 – Everton 2
