In losing at Brentford this past weekend, Liverpool are now on their worst ever run in the Premier League era. The trip to Brentford on Saturday resulted in the Reds fourth straight league loss, and now they have another dubious distinction. They are only the fourth defending Premier League champion to lose four straight league fixtures in a season. And the major slump began in late September, when they lost to the same side that they’ll face next- Crystal Palace.

Liverpool Preview Material: Team News Starting Lineup Prediction
Yes, indeed Palace beat the Merseyside club 2-1 on Sept 27, which marked their first L of the season.
Will the Eagles beat them again here, this time in a different competition? Here is (at least in our opinion) the best possible lineup that Arne Slot can select, in the hopes of stopping that.
Liverpool Predicted Starting XI vs Crystal Palace
Giorgi Mamardashvili; Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konaté, Joe Gomez, Andy Robertson; Wataru Endo, Dominic Szoboszlai; Federico Chiesa, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo; Hugo Ekitike
