Mr Pulis has a good home record against Liverpool.

But Liverpool are having a great season and Suarez is due a few goals

As long as Palace dont park the bus Liverpool should win.

I can see a luis hat trick tonight

Palace 9/4 to win or draw.

Banker.

Well that approach has been known to work wonders in the past. Why just as recently as last Sun.........Oh.

Got that a few days ago. With Palace's home form it's incredibly generous.

Not saying Pool won't win, but just saying that them being so massively odds on is a bit dubious given how good Palace have been lately.

Palace are 7/1 draw no bet

Boyles now going 5/1 the draw

Palace available @ 8/1 in various to win

hopefully steve peters will have hypnotised the lads into believing anything short of a 10 goal margin of victory will lead to their imprisonment and torture after the game - nothing like a motivated team full of belief

6 goals, for some reason ive been thinking there will be 6 goals scored in this match

Demosthenese

Good news for Liverpool fans, my ban ended today and therefore we will win. We've not won since i was originally banned )) Pity City are still firing on all cylinders though. Hopefully will grab a good win tonight and push it to the last game, would be a shame to not at least drag it out until the last possible moment.

eagle eye

Palace play a style of football that is hard to press high against. Pulis had a decent record with Stoke against Liverpool with a win and a draw against Rogers last season. Liverpool want more than just a win and I think that will be very tough against Palace because of the pace they have on the break. This is a very tricky one for Liverpool and I think they should play their normal style and not look for too much.

I don't think it will come down to goals anyways. City seem to be falling apart with injuries. You had Yaya Toure and Aguero going off the last day and Silva wasn't fit to start and for me thats their three most important players. I can see them slipping up over the next two games if those players remain on the sidelines.

Palace are 25/1 to win one nil. That's very tempting.

bad2dabone

Hoping for a Liverpool win to keep things interesting

Can't see anything but a hat-trick from rightful PFA Player of the Year James Puncheon.

Gonna stick 700 euro on it...will stick up the betslip if England win the world cup and City retain the league next season.

Hopefully its at least a repeat last time I was in Liverpool when they played a Tony Pulis side, that night Liverpool beat Stoke 4-0

Ha ha what? Huge pressure on Liverpool, City did their job two days ago. Must win for Liverpool.

That has been said about every game since January.

They do have to win now but I think there is slightly less pressure s everyone expects City to romp home for the title

This game is away from home though, lets hope its like the last time a Tony Pulis side were at home vs Liverpool, 3-1 to Stoke that time :D:D

10-0 to Liverpool would be a nice result

Added to a 1-0 city win next match would make it very interesting for the final weekend

Super-Rush

Sturridge in for Coutinho.

Interesting.

Would have thought it would be Sturridge in Lucas out.

Liverpool could absolutely score a load bit I have zero confidence in them keeping a clean sheet

Morzadec

I hope there's no talk of goal difference tonight and Rodgers knows better than to mention it to the players.

The difference is insurmountable and any talk about trying to put 4 or 5 past them might possibly take their eye off the main goal which is 3 points.

If the title is to be settled on GD then it is undoubtedly City's title

Lapin

I have an awful feeling in my gut about tonight.

I'm not used to this on Mondays.

That's the pressure I am talking about.

I can see a draw at best for Liverpool.

I think last week will have knocked the fight out of us.

Unless Liverpool establish an early lead and dominate from the outset, I'll end up watching most of it from behing the sofa, or spend most of the 90 minutes swearing at Ronnie O'Sullivan.

dahat

Fancy a Liverpool slip up and Palace to cap a great second half to the season with a point at home to this seasons surprise package.

quarryman

Cmon Palace!

Blatter

I wouldn't be a fan of all three of Gerrard, Allen and Lucas in midfield.

Rodgers says Coutinho has a slight injury, I suppose he has no other viable options.

Agueroooo

Coutinho has a knock.

googled eyes

By the gods of Olympus I feel a result coming

Washington Irving

Expecting Liverpool and City to both lose their remaining games 10-0 and Chelsea to win the league with a point on Sunday.

Stranger things have happened.


Can't think of any though.

Why are you so bitter.

I see the big Palace crowd are in here tonight !

daithijjj

Im totally fine with any result tonight. Season 'goals' have been achieved already and im looking forward to a summer where the club bring in players who are at a level to be automatic starters in 2 or 3 positions. I have a total sense of calm due to the fact i'd have been completely happy with where we are in the table at the start (plus city will get 6 points and too many goals). Team just needs to approach tonight like nothing matters, only way to go about it imo.

Lucas doesnt really cut it anymore
I think its times like this our squad is exposed

That's it

Shows how threadbare the squad is tbh

mike65

I'd take a 0-1 off Skrtels neck bolt via Suarez backside if that's what it takes.

Crystal Palace: Speroni, Mariappa, Dann, Delaney, Ward, Dikgacoi, Jedinak, Ledley, Bolasie, Puncheon, Chamakh.

Subs: Hennessey, Gabbidon, Parr, O'Keefe, Ince, Gayle, Murray.

Paul Tom Ince to score the goal that denies Liverpool and the league a grandstand finish.

Was it just me or did Rodgers look a bit unsure when he was saying that?

'With only two games left, it's too much of a risk but he can come off the bench'

That doesn't really make much sense! He could have just said he has a slight injury because he didn't want to say he has dropped him.

Not a big deal either way, just speculating.

Spot on pal.

I have a really nice sense of calm knowing how and who we have at the club, and how we went about our business this season.

Only way is up imo and really looking forward to landing that type of exciting player we have been scouting in recent times.

Bring it on!

Rayne Wooney

It will be an interesting game

Palace's bus isn't as efficient as Chelsea's so we'll see if Liverpool can find openings

I think you're looking into it too much.

Coutinho is still on the fringe of the Brazil squad for the WC and has stated his desire to make it


I'm sure player and club will have discussed any twinge or problem and agreed the best solution.
