LONDON, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Crystal Palace are hoping their former Liverpool striker Christian Benteke will be able to exploit the Anfield club's perceived defensive weakness from set pieces in Saturday's Premier League game. The powerful Belgian has scored five times in three league matches at Liverpool as an opposition player, including two when Palace won there in April. "Christian showed his importance last season," the Palace manager Frank de Boer told a media conference on Friday. We know set pieces are important, they're important to all teams in the Premier League." Last season's 2-1 win followed other victories by 2-1 and 3-1 in the preceding seasons.
