Liverpool quest for the League title continues on Saturday when they welcome Crystal Palace at Anfeild.
The Reds could escaped with all-three points in their last game after a slim 1-0 win over Brighton. The victory puts them four points clear away from Manchester City after the Citizens humbled Wolves three unreplied goals at the Etihad.
But Crystal Palace, having won only 6 out of their 22 PL games are currently 14th in the League standings with 4 points above the relegation spot.
And Paul Merson believe it will be a difficult game for the Reds to win and warned the league leaders about the threats of Palace two stars Andros Townsend and Wilfried Zaha.
Merson told Sky Sports: "This is a dangerous fixture it could be a problem for Liverpool.
"Palace have the tools to hurt them. They've got major pace and match-winners in Andros Townsend and Wilfried Zaha.
"They’ve also got an unbelievable manager in Roy Hodgson, who doesn't get the credit he deserves.
"He knows how to win these types of games. I think they’ll score.
"However, if Liverpool are serious about winning the league they must win the game.
"If they do it could also be a psychological advantage over Man City, who lost to Palace."
