da bwin: Liverpool travel to South London today, to the scene of one of their biggest disappointments in the modern day era.Few can forget the fateful night in May 2014, when a title chasing Reds side let a 3-0 lead slip at Selhurst Park within the last 11 minutes to all but end any aspirations of a first Premier League trophy.The stakes are clearly not as high this afternoon, though it does represent a good opportunity for Jurgen Klopp’s side to make up ground on the race for the top six.While the German has suggested a Champions League berth is not out of the realms of possibility, it seems unlikely. Still, to harbour any feasible aspirations of making Europe, a win over Crystal Palace today is borderline imperative.Lucas Levia’s injury will come as a blow, particularly with a crunch European tie with Manchester United, though there at last few injuries concerns for the German tactician today.The home side are in the midst of a dismal run of form, without a win in eleven games and slipping ever closer to a relegation battle.Though there is some breathing space between the club and the dangerous waters below, another loss would only pile on further misery.Despite such testing times for Alan Pardew, his side boast a good record against their Merseyside opposition. They have not lost to the Reds for almost three years and won the reverse fixture earlier this season at Anfield.The absence of striker Connor Wickham will no doubt come as a major blow for Pardew, with the forward being one of few beacons of hope amid this terrible form.
