JAKARTA - Liverpool will visit Crystal Palace, Selhurst Park, in the seventh week of the 2024/2025 Premier League, Saturday, October 5, 2024, evening WIB.

The arrival of the Reds deserves Palace to watch out for. You see, Arne Slot's troops are in high confidence after submerging Bologna 2-0 in the 2024/2025 Champions League.

Liverpool have not experienced any changes so far since the change of leadership from Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot.

The Dutch coach has even achieved achievements that his predecessor in the Reds could not achieve.

The win over Bologna made Slot the first Liverpool manager to win eight of his first nine games in all competitions.

The only defeat of the Red one was when they faced Nottingham Forest (0-1) in the fourth week of the Premier League.

Liverpool are clearly above the wind. They are now at the top of the Premier League standings with 15 points.

The victory against Palace will keep them four points away from Manchester City and Arsenal on the second and third stairs.

Slot gave Liverpool the last five games in a row, scoring 15 goals with an average of three goals per game.

The Reds' favoritism is getting stronger as Slot is in motivation to become the fourth manager in the history of the competition to win his first four away games.

The last time Liverpool could do so was in the 2019-2020 season when they won the Premier League trophy. Since then, there have been three other managers who have done the same thing, namely after Felipe Scolari, John Gregory, and Bobby Gould.

Despite the statistical push, Arne Slot was supported by the squad's completeness. Darwin Nunez returned from injury, while Diogo Jota and Andy Robertson have also appeared in the Champions League.

Only Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott were absent from the unexplained squad of issues and broken leg.

Slot also had support from Mohamed Salah who was chasing historical records once again. He was motivated to hunt for the title of first Premier League player to score in his first four away games in a season.
