Vieira shares Liverpool blueprint and Olise update - News - Crystal Palace F.C.

"Against those teams, it is hard to have possession. We accept that, and we will have to work well as a team if we want to get something from the game.

"It's about our organisation, how we can be really disciplined, work well and close those kinds of spaces where they can hurt you. If we manage to do that well, it will be important for us to be brave and to take those chances to score goals.

"Going to Anfield and defending for 90 minutes will be tough. We have to play our game and to try to create chances and score goals."

Being more clinical is a key focus for Vieira, after a frustrating season opener against Arsenal.

"Against those kinds of teams it's about taking chances," he explained. "We have to perform well out of position, we have to accept that during the 90 minutes we will have difficult periods. It's about being patient and waiting for the right moment to hurt them.

"We know we have the players to do well going forward but the other side of the game is defending well as a team and working hard not to concede a goal.

"We have to score those chances. Look at the game we played against Arsenal: the frustration is that we had two clear chances and we should score a goal, and the game will be different."

Vieira may have attacking reinforcements for the trip to Anfield, offering an update on the fitness of Michael Olise and others.

"Michael trained all week with the team, so there is a chance that he will be with the squad," he said. "The other two [James McArthur and James Tomkins] it will be too short for them.

"[Nathan Ferguson] just had a setback. It's too early to talk about, but obviously he didn't train in the last couple of days with the team."
