Crystal Palace host champions Liverpool in a potentially thrilling clash of the only two remaining unbeaten Premier League sides.
Palace are in the midst of a stunning 17-game unbeaten run across all competitions, which has included their famous FA Cup win as well as the Community Shield penalty victory over the Reds last month.
Their most recent league clash saw them come away from the London Stadium with three points against West Ham and Oliver Glasner (favourite to replace Ruben Amorim should he be sacked as Man United manager) will fancy his chances here.
Arne Slot's men have been the late show for almost the entirety of the new season with Tuesday's 2-1 win over Southampton in the Carabao Cup their latest rescue act. They have won all five of their league games so far despite looking in second gear at times and Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and others not yet settled in. Could they be unstoppable or is this the weekend the Reds finally stutter?
The Sporting News has a complete betting preview for arguably the game of the weekend.

- Palace are likely to be unchanged from the win at West Ham, with Ismaila Sarr not yet back in contention.
