Sat Oct 05 11:49:20 UTC 2024: ## Liverpool Aim for Top Spot with Trip to Struggling Crystal Palace
Liverpool, riding high under new manager Arne Slot, have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a trip to Selhurst Park to face winless Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The Reds, who have won five of their first six league matches, will be looking to build on their impressive early season form and move four points clear of rivals Manchester City and Arsenal.
Palace, on the other hand, find themselves in the relegation zone, having yet to secure a win in the Premier League this season. Their struggles continue despite the arrival of new manager Oliver Glasner, who had enjoyed a successful end to last season.
Despite Palace’s poor form, there is some hope for the Eagles. They pulled off a surprise 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield in April, thanks to an early goal from Eberechi Eze.
However, the current Liverpool side, boosted by their strong start and a quiet yet effective summer transfer window, appear a formidable force. They will be looking to make a statement against their struggling opponents and further cement their position at the top of the table.
The match kicks off at 12:30pm BST and will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 in the UK.
