The Premier League returns to MARCA and it does so with a great game between the leader of the competition and another mired in a deep crisis. Liverpool visits Crystal Palace’s field in an ideal situation to reaffirm itself as a clear candidate for the title. The start of Slot’s team is impressive and they could hit the table with an away victory. Instead, Londoners need to score points no matter what. They are in relegation positions with only three points and receive the most in-form team from England.
The ‘Reds’ come from winning the Champions League and adding their fifth consecutive victory. Luís Díaz is unstoppable, just like Salah and company. They form a perfect machine that does not seem to miss Jurgen Klopp. However, they have a very difficult game ahead of them, on a demanding field and against a needy opponent. Nottingham Forest already surprised them and they cannot drop points again if they want to keep alive the dream of winning the Premier League again.
The locals, who have been very consistent season after season, face their most critical moment in years. In the summer they saw their main star leave and they have not been able to lift their heads since then. They don’t know the victory in the League, but being the surprise of the day would be a very big emotional boost in order to maintain the category.
Whatever happens we will be counting it minute by minute in MARK.
