How to watch Liverpool vs Crystal Palace live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction
WATCH — Liverpool v Crystal Palace
Liverpool wrapped up the title weeks ago but since they won their second league title in five years they've lost two and drawn once as the party has been going on for some time. They lost late on at Brighton on Monday but Arne Slot has been using these final few games of the season to give chances to fringe players as he plans ahead for next season. It will be intriguing to see how strong he goes with his lineup against Palace as he will want to finish the season on a high.
Crystal Palace remain in dreamland as Oliver Glasner delivered a first-ever major trophy last weekend as they beat Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final. Palace beat Wolves 4-2 on Tuesday too as they're finishing the season strong and a win at Anfield could see them finish in the top 10. The Eagles have Europa League action to look forward to next season and also the FA Community Shield against Liverpool at Wembley in August to kick off the 2025-26 season.

There will be some rotation for Slot but it seems like he will go with a very strong lineup as the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold could come in to start. Mohamed Salah is trying his best to finish the season strong but luck has not been on his side in recent weeks as he's quietly scored just once in his last eight Premier League games.
OUT: Alexis Mac Allister (hip)

Eberechi Eze is the star of the show for Palace right now and Eddie Nketiah scored twice in the midweek win against Wolves. Glasner will continue to rotate and give players a chance to prove themselves for next season.

Man United Revenue Up 17% as Historically Bad Season Wraps
Manchester United revenue rose 17% for the three months ending March 31, thanks largely to four more home matches during the quarter, as the team made a run to the Europa League final. The club also reported a rare operating profit. That's the good news. More from PSG, Inter Vie for Champions League Title Despite Financial Hurdles Man United-Tottenham Europa League Final Has $100M at Stake Sporticast 447: Soccer's 'Totally Different Economic Systems' The bad news? United lost the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur, which will have a ripple effect on its future results. And the profit was just £707,000 ($962,000 based on current exchange rates). Manchester United lost $3.7 million after taxes and financing costs. This season will be the sixth straight that the 20-time English champions will lose money. The Europa final loss means United failed to qualify for next season's European competitions—Europa or Champions League—for just the second time in 35 years. A win in the final would have meant more than $100 million in revenue from the additional prize money and qualification for Champions League. On top of that revenue shortfall, matchday revenue will take a hit with fewer home games, and there is a £10 million ($13.6 million) reduction from their £90 million-per-year ($122 million) Adidas deal. Manchester United finished 15th in the Premier League table, just above the relegation line. Last season's eighth-place finish was its previous worst result since the EPL launched in 1992. 'We had a difficult season in the Premier League, which we all know fell below our standards, and we have a clear expectation of improvement next season,' Omar Berrada, Manchester United CEO, said in announcing the financial results. 'We remain focused on infrastructure, with the redevelopment of our Carrington Training Complex continuing and on track, which will be the heart of our club, providing world class facilities for all our teams and our staff.' In March, the club unveiled plans for a new 100,000-seat stadium to replace Old Trafford. It is also injecting $68 million into its Carrington training facility, with the renovation expected to be completed ahead of the 2025-26 season. In February, United said it would lay off 150 to 200 employees, on top of the 250 employees who were fired last year. It has been a rough first year-plus at United for billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, who spent $1.3 billion for 25% of the club and heads its sporting operations. For the quarter, total revenue was $218 million, including commercial revenue of $102 million, up 7.3% over the prior year's quarter. Broadcasting revenue was $56 million, up 10%, thanks to the additional UEFA competition matches. Matchday had the biggest jump at 50% to $61 million, with the extra home dates and demand for hospitality offerings. United is just back from its first-ever postseason tour, a six-day, two-game trip to Malaysia and Hong Kong, that is expected to boost fourth-quarter results by £10 million. In a capper to how bad their season has been, United lost the first game 1-0 to the ASEAN All-Stars and was showered with boos. They rebounded to win the second leg of the trip 3-1 over Hong Kong.

Marc Guehi to Liverpool moves one step CLOSER
Konate could have influence on Guehi That's because Liverpool require outgoings before they go back into the market. It's believed that Liverpool are willing to listen to bids for Konate this summer - and that would necessitate a new starting centre-back. Advertisement Konate, 26, is out of contract in 2026 and there has been no breakthrough in talks over a new deal. A new report from Real Madrid Confidencial now claims that Liverpool are willing to do business at £50m. And, moreover, it is claimed that Madrid ARE willing to pay it. Madrid willing to pay for £50m Konate 'The French center-back has been one of Real Madrid's top targets for months,' the report reads. 'While the initial plan was to wait until the end of his contract, which is next summer, that has changed. 'Fearing the same fate as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool has expressed its willingness to allow Konaté to leave this summer. Advertisement '£50 million is the price the current Premier League champions are willing to accept to part ways with their player. A reasonable price for Real Madrid, with Florentino Pérez preparing an offer to complete this significant transfer.' © IMAGO Konate out, Guehi in? Xabi Alonso's new three-man centre-back system means los Blancos require additions. They have had injury trouble around Eder Militao and David Alaba - and Florentino Perez is now ready to sanction a deal for Konate. In an ideal world, Madrid would wait until next summer and add the France international on a free. But they are willing to bring forward their plans. That in turn could accelerate Liverpool's bid for Guehi. The 24-year-old Crystal Palace captain is also out of contract in 2026 - but Palace do not want to lose him for free.

Premier League Makes An AI Play To Enhance The Fan Experience
AI makes its way onto the pitch This summer, the Premier League didn't sign who you might expect. Instead of a star striker or record-breaking winger, it brought Microsoft onto the roster. On July 1, England's top football league announced a five-year partnership with the tech giant to build something more powerful than a highlight reel: a live AI tool that gives each fan personalized updates and interactions. The Premier League Companion is a virtual assistant embedded in the league's app. Fans can ask it anything such as 'How many goals did Cole Palmer score after the 60th minute?' or 'Should I start him in fantasy this week?' It'll have an answer, thanks to decades of match data, video, and analysis packed into a chat-style interface. 'This partnership will help us engage with fans in new ways — from personalized content to real-time match insight' said Richard Masters, the Premier League's chief executive. 'We look forward to working together [with Microsoft]An AI-Powered Sideline Analyst The Companion will launch before the 2025–26 season. It runs on Microsoft's Azure OpenAI tools and ties into the league's official databases, offering fans a searchable, multilingual guide to everything from player stats to team tactics. Fantasy football fans get custom tips. Casual supporters can tap into historical moments. Everyone gains quick, easy access to what was once buried in stats pages and pundit banter. It's not just about stats, though. The move is part of an increasing trend as sports and entertainment are turning to AI to keep viewers on their apps and away from TikTok, Reddit, and third-party score trackers. The Tech Arms Race in Sports Around the world, leagues are experimenting with similar tools. Wimbledon and IBM launched Match Chat, which answers fan questions during matches and shows shifting win probabilities in real time. LaLiga created Beyond Stats, using millions of data points per match to build tailored graphics and predictive visuals. Major League Soccer introduced Sidekick, an in-app AI that learns each user's habits and serves up game clips and even ticket offers. Major League Baseball is pushing My Daily Story, an AI-edited video recap built around what each fan actually wants to watch. These tools aren't just features. They're strategies to keep fans inside official apps. And they can work. A Business Play, Not a Toy Microsoft's role goes beyond powering a chatbot. Its cloud services handles fan data, automates workflows, and helps the league personalize content at scale. If you ask Copilot about a player's form, don't be surprised if you're offered tickets or a collectible soon after. Each query is a clue, and a potential sale. The shift is from watching to interacting. Fans spend more time in the app. Teams get better data. Sponsors reach more engaged audiences. Everyone wins, if the tools work. Fair Play Meets Fast Data There's a flip side. What happens if the AI gets a stat wrong? Or if a mistranslation causes a storm on social media? Microsoft says it's addressing those risks. The Companion pulls answers from verified Premier League sources using a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system. The volume of fan queries on opening weekend will test those systems hard. Then there's the competitive side. If fans can ask these questions, can teams use the same tools for scouting? For game prep? Some think AI will level the playing field. Others worry it will widen the gap between clubs with tech-savvy staff and those without. Privately, some coaches are already asking whether they'll get their own version with insights the fans don't see. For broadcasters, this is a wake-up call. With a tap, fans will get explainers on pressing tactics or past player performances. That pushes networks to up their second-screen game, or risk falling behind. The International Olympic Committee is planning to use AI to chop up 11,000 hours of footage into highlight clips for the 2026 Winter Games. That's the kind of playbook Sky or NBC might need to copy. What's Next: One Identity, One Experience This is just the beginning. League officials hint that future updates could include live real-time data overlays in stadiums, audio commentary in multiple languages, or AI-generated replays of classic matches. The long-term vision? A fan profile that works across every touchpoint whether watching at home, cheering in the stadium, or picking a fantasy team. Wherever fans are, the league wants to be ready with the right info, the right offer, and the right story. And if it works, others will follow. Wimbledon's already feeding tennis lingo into its own AI. MLB is perfecting bite-sized video for younger generations. The real race now is over trust. Whoever can earn that trust with AI, and who turns that trust into loyalty.
