- Fri, 18 Jan 2019 22:30:02 +0000: Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp wary of Crystal Palace after City shock - Liverpool | The Guardian
• ‘In counterattacks, at set pieces, it is clear they are good’
• Klopp dismisses speculation of Anfield return for CoutinhoJürgen Klopp has said Liverpool must heed the warning of Crystal Palace’s recent victory at Manchester City to avoid a similar shock against Roy Hodgson’s side.
Liverpool are unbeaten in 31 Premier League home matches since Palace recorded a third consecutive away win at Anfield in April 2017. The league leaders can re-establish a seven-point lead over City at the top, at least until Sunday, by extending that sequence to the second longest in the club’s history on Saturday.

Eight different players scored in the 9-0 thrashing at Anfield, but that was not the last Liverpool saw of Palace that season
By Steven Pye for That 1980s Sports Blog
When Crystal Palace made the daunting trip to Anfield in September 1989, Liverpool were still hurting from that Michael Thomas moment in the previous campaign and were in no mood to show mercy to a newly promoted team. What looked a tough examination on paper for Palace proved to be even worse on grass. It was to be a day their fans and players would never forget.
At least Steve Coppell’s team made the journey north on the back of a win. Having picked up just one point from their first three league games, Palace beat Wimbledon 2-0 a few days before their trip to Liverpool in their first of many south London derbies that season; 1989-90 remains the only campaign in which all four local sides – Palace, Wimbledon, Charlton and Millwall – have played in the top flight.

Liverpool have gone 31 league games unbeaten at Anfield since losing to Palace in April 2017, winning 22 and drawing nine in a formidable sequence that also includes 21 clean sheets. Another victory here would restore a seven-point lead over Manchester City, at least until Sunday, and set a new club record for points won after 23 matches. Roy Hodgson returns to his former club without his main goalkeeping options, the injured Wayne Hennessey and Vicente Guaita, meaning a first start since December 2017 for the Premier League’s oldest player, 39-year-old Julian Speroni.

Who will Pochettino turn to up front? Will Lindelöf banish bad memories of Brighton? And should Sarri start Giroud?
If Mauricio Pochettino could have picked one Premier League team to start playing against without his top scorer and his most in-form attacker, then he would surely have plumped for Fulham. Claudio Ranieri’s defensively chaotic side are the perfect opponents in a far-from-ideal scenario for Tottenham, who must learn to cope without Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. It will still be interesting to see how Mauricio Pochettino tries to overcome those losses. Perhaps he will ask Dele Alli or Lucas Moura to play as a shifty striker or maybe he’ll deploy Fernando Llorente, a more conventional centre-forward who netted a hat-trick in the recent annihilation of Tranmere Rovers? Or the manager might even push his faith in youth to an unprecedented extreme by giving a start to the highly promising 16-year-old Irish striker Troy Parrott, who has yet to appear for the senior team? Whatever the manager opts for, Spurs can be confident of victory given that Fulham have been so hapless this season that they even managed to concede two goals last week despite restricting Burnley to no shots on target.
