Liverpool have won 12 of their last 15 meetings with Crystal Palace, although the Eagles did leave Anfield victorious just last season, only their sixth win over the Reds on Merseyside in 29 attempts.
Both of these clubs have achieved more than they ever believed possible this season, so this will be a rare afternoon of celebration for both. Liverpool will finally get the chance to hoist the Premier League trophy aloft into the air, four weeks on from securing their record-equalling 20th English top division title by demolishing Tottenham 5-1.
Since, Arne Slot's side have actually failed to win any of their three outings, albeit no one minds very much do they?
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace preview
On Monday night, despite leading at half time thanks to goals from Harvey Elliott and then Dominik Szoboszlai, the Reds were beaten 3-2 by Brighton, the winner coming five minutes from time. So, now can Liverpool conclude an historic campaign with a win, before being presented with the trophy?
As for Crystal Palace, they captured major silverware for the first time in the club's 164-year history last weekend, upsetting the odds to defeat Manchester City in the FA Cup Final at Wembley, with Eberechi Eze the only scorer.
The party then continued for the Eagles on Tuesday, beating Wolves 4-2 at Selhurst, thanks to Eddie Nketiah's first-half brace, before Ben Chilwell and Eze also netted.
So, next season, Oliver Glasner's side have Europa League football to look forward to, Palace's first-ever participation in a major UEFA competition, and they'll also contest the Community Shield, facing Liverpool again at Wembley in 11 week's time. Tuesday's win saw the Eagles reach 50 points in the Premier League for the very first time, so can they now, at least somewhat, spoil the Anfield party?
