The Premier League returns to MARCA and it does so with a great game between the leader of the competition and another mired in a deep crisis. Liverpool visit the Crystal Palace pitch in an ideal situation to reassert itself as a clear contender for the title. The Sliotan team is off to a great start and could top the table with an away win. Instead, The Londoners have to score points no matter what. They are in the relegation positions with just three points and get the most in-form team from England.
The ‘Reds’ come from winning the Champions League and adding their fifth victory in a row. Luís Díaz is unstoppable, just like Salah and company. They create a perfect machine that Jurgen Klopp doesn’t seem to miss. However, they face a very difficult game, on a very demanding pitch and against a demanding opponent. Nottingham Forest have already surprised them and they cannot drop points again if they want to keep alive the dream of winning the Premier League again.
The locals, who have been very consistent season after season, face their most important moment in years. In the summer they saw their main star leave and they haven’t been able to lift their heads since. They do not know the victory in the Series, but it would be a great emotional stimulus if the surprise of the day was to keep the category.
Whatever happens we will be counting it minute by minute MARK.
