Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has emphasized his team's high motivation ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash at Anfield. The Eagles seek an unprecedented fourth victory over Liverpool this season, having already beaten the Reds at Wembley in the Community Shield, at Selhurst Park, and in the Carabao Cup at Anfield. This remarkable achievement would complete a season sweep of one of Europe's top teams.

Glasner highlighted the historic nature of this opportunity, acknowledging how rare it is to face a top-tier opponent four times in a single campaign. "When you talk before a season and say, 'OK, if we win once against Liverpool, you'd say, yeah, it's good,'" he explained. The manager stressed that this situation presents a "massive chance" his players won't likely get again, fueling their determination.

Liverpool faces a psychological challenge having fallen to Palace in all three previous encounters this season. The Reds will be desperate to avoid the embarrassment of a fourth consecutive defeat to their opponents. For Palace, this represents more than just three points—it's the chance to etch their name in Premier League history by completing a season sweep of a major rival at their own ground.
