The Austrian has openly admitted that his players are targeting something historic against us, having already beaten Liverpool three times this season across different competitions.

Glasner outlines Palace ambition vs Liverpool

Speaking via CPFC.co.uk ahead of the clash, the 51-year-old didn’t hide his ambition.

Glasner said: “And now we have the opportunity to win four times against Liverpool in one season. I think that’s something unique. First of all, you don’t play a team like Liverpool four times a year very often.

“And on the other side, then having already three wins, that’s massive for us, and that’s why we’re really highly motivated, because maybe this will never happen again, and it’s a massive chance.”

That alone tells us everything about the mindset heading into this one, because for Palace this isn’t just another fixture, it’s an opportunity to make a statement against the reigning Premier League champions.

The Eagles boss also made it clear that their approach won’t change despite the occasion.
