Monday evening’s Premier League action from Selhurst Park sees Crystal Palace take on Liverpool.

With the Eagles taking seven matches to register a goal, let alone a victory last term they eased to a 2-0 win over Fulham in their opening match of the campaign.

Manager Roy Hodgson has a fully fit side to select from with Wilfried Zaha likely to be one of the first names on the team sheet after he put pen to paper on a new contract last week following interest from both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

The Ivory Coast international is 11.0 (10/1) to open the scoring with Sky Bet, with Christian Benteke a 12.0 (11/1) chance as he faces his former club.

The home win is as highly priced as the 8.0 (7/1) on offer from Betfred, who have the draw at 5.4 (22/5) with the visitors as highly priced as the 1.44 (4/9) on offer from Coral.

Jurgen Klopp’s side swept aside West Ham United last weekend, with two goals coming in each half of a four-nil triumph.

Joel Matip is back in contention after recovering from the muscle injury he picked up in preseason though Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk are set to continue at the heart of defence with Dejan Lovren remains out with a pelvic problem.

Mo Salah is favourite to get the first goal of the game at 4.0 (3/1) with Sky Bet with Daniel Sturridge a 5.25 (17/4) shot with Unibet after coming off the bench to net against the Hammers.

The pair are the only sides left in the top flight yet to concede though with both teams netting in all but one of their last twelve meetings you would be forgiven for fancying goals here.

The Merseyside outfit came from behind to win 2-1 in last season’s corresponding fixture, Salah and Sadio Mane with the goals to cancel out Luka Milivojevic’s penalty.

Unibet offer 1.74 (14/19) for both teams to score this time around while you can back there being at least three goals in the game at a price of 1.57 (7/4) with Coral.
