The heat is on for Liverpool. Crystal Palace, too, even if Liverpool’s need for a win is the obvious headline requirement here. After Old Trafford, after Atalanta, there are wobbles aplenty on Merseyside. On Thursday in the Europa League, Jurgen Klopp shuffled his team, only to make three changes at half-time. It made no difference. In fact, matters got worse. Within Liverpool’s play, there are shards of high quality but weaknesses aplenty, too. Palace meanwhile have won just one match since Oliver Glasner came in. And again, while there are positive signs, there are also serious causes for concern. Not least that Brentford ended their own winless run, placing pressure on Palace not to slip further and get dragged down amid the Lutons.
