As away games to start the season go, Crystal Palace’s successive trips to Liverpool and Manchester City are the most unforgiving-looking fixtures imaginable in the Premier League — although there were signs of encouragement for them during the Reds’ match at Fulham on Saturday.
Manager Jurgen Klopp felt his side lacked fundamental qualities on a surprising afternoon at Craven Cottage, when the Premier League newcomers twice went ahead against the narrow runners-up in 2021/22.
Liverpool showed spirit to earn a 2-2 draw, helped by the potency of Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez as they dodged a first league defeat of the calendar year.
Palace performed on par in a 2-0 home defeat to a significantly strengthened Arsenal side which could have ended differently had they been more ruthless in front of goal. Follow The Sporting News’ live coverage from Anfield.
