But the approach and the ambition has to be we go there to win.“Even if we had lost the last three games, we would go there to win.“But it's always a better feeling if you have done something before, because it shows you that you can.”Glasner is hoping to end the season with more silverware(Image: Getty Images)Remarkably, Palace travels to Liverpool looking to inflict a fourth defeat of the season on Arne Slot’s side, after successes in the reverse league fixture at Selhurst Park, and wins in the Community Shield and Carabao Cup.Glasner claims these previous victories should help boost Palace’s belief heading into the weekend.“If somebody asks you to do something you have never done in your life, then you have maybe a little bit of a concern and think, can I do it or not?

You have doubts," he said.“But we have shown and proven that we can. This gives us confidence, but it's also important for us that we stay humble, that we don't take it for granted.”Palace has already beaten Liverpool three times this season(Image: Getty Images)Reflecting on those previous wins, Glasner added: “I think when you talk before a season and say: ‘OK, we win once against Liverpool’, you would say ‘Yeah, it's good.’“If you say we’d win twice against Liverpool, you would say, ‘Well, it would be very good’.

And you say, 'We win three times against Liverpool, it's amazing.'“And now we have the opportunity to win four times against Liverpool in one season. That’s why we are really looking forward to this game at Anfield.”
