Liverpool's charge to defend their Premier League crown continues this weekend with a trip to Selhurst Park, where Arne Slot's side will face Crystal Palace for the matchday six encounter.
Softfootball understands that this is not just another league outing it is a meeting of the only two unbeaten teams in the division after five matches.
The Reds travel south as leaders of the table, having collected maximum points so far. Their tally of 15 points from five games underlines their clinical start to the campaign, and they arrive in south London brimming with momentum after seven consecutive wins across all competitions.
