Pre-match statsLiverpool aiming for rare winning run against Palace
Liverpool can accomplish a rare feat by beating Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Reds head to Selhurst Park with the chance to claim a 10th successive league win over the Eagles, which would be only the fourth time the club has recorded such a run against the same opponent.
They previously achieved 12 consecutive league victories over West Bromwich Albion between 1985 and 2012, and 10 in a row versus Notts County (1920 to 1955) and Bolton Wanderers (1988 to 1997).
