Crystal Palace's young star, Michael Olise, has been making a big impact this season with nine goal contributions in just 12 games. And now, he is set to start against Liverpool, according to manager Oliver Glasner. Glasner believes that Palace has a good chance of causing an upset in the title race, despite Liverpool being the favourites.
The Reds, who suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home to Atalanta in the Europa League, have a lot at stake in the Premier League. With Arsenal currently at the top of the table and Manchester City just one point behind, Liverpool cannot afford to drop any more points if they want to secure the title. On the other hand, Palace has only won one game out of six since Glasner took over as manager, leaving them dangerously close to the relegation zone.
Furthermore, the Eagles have a poor record against Liverpool, having failed to win in their last 13 meetings. However, they may have a chance this time around as their star player, Olise, has returned from a hamstring injury. Although he couldn't prevent a loss against City, he showed great potential off the bench. And now, Glasner has hinted that he may start against Liverpool.
Glasner also emphasized the importance of having a strong team performance against Liverpool, who are known for their high-pressure playing style. He believes that every player, including Olise, has a key role to play in order to secure a positive result. The manager also shared that Jairo Riedewald, a versatile player, has returned from injury, which is a relief for the depleted Palace squad.
Despite being limited to only 12 appearances due to injuries, Olise has made a significant impact with six goals and three assists. This has caught the attention of top clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, and even Liverpool. It remains to be seen if he will continue his impressive form and help Palace cause an upset against the Reds.
