Our prediction for this Premier League match:
After suffering a heavy 4-1 loss to Tottenham in the local derby, Crystal Palace will be looking to give fans some cheer when they take on WBA at their Selhurst Park. The Eagles aim to regain their spot in top ten, and they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Pacey attacker Wilfried Zaha returns to the starting XI, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered.
The Baggies, on the other hand, failed to impress in a goalless draw with WBA, and given their poor away record (1-4-8) in the 2020/21 Premier League season, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. WBA boss Sam Allardyce should have a full squad to choose from, with Robson-Kanu pushing for a start. In the first half of the season Palace crushed WBA 5-1 at the Hawthorns.

Born in Kragujevac, Serbia on April 7, 1991, Luka Milivojevic is a product of his home-town club Radnicki Kragujevac. After making 17 appearances for the club in the 2007/2008 season, Milivojevic joined fellow Serbian Super Liga team Rad at the end of the season. The 186-cm-tall midfielder, who is well known for his brilliant long-range shots, played for “Gradjevinari” from 2008 to 2012 and then he moved to famous Serbian club Crvena zvezda (Red Star).
Luka Milivojevic scored seven goals in 36 appearances in the league for the capital club, but at the end of the 2012/2013 season he signed a five-year deal with Belgian outfit Anderlecht. During the 2013/2014 season the Serbian midfielder was on Olympiakos’ radar and he soon joined the Greek giants.
Milivojevic quickly established himself as a first-team regular at Olympiakos, but in January, 2017 the club chiefs decided to sell him to Premier League side Crystal Palace. It has to be noted that the Serbia international scored two goals in 14 appearances for the Eagles in the 2016/2017 Premier League campaign.
