American going to my first Liverpool game..any suggestions?

So my wonderful wife got me and her two tickets to go see liverpool vs Crystal palace which includes access to the 1892 lounge. This is the first time either of us have been in europe much less England. Any suggestions with getting to the game early or even the stadium? I know we have access to this louge about 3 hrs before and 1 hr after the game. I have been a huge Liverpool supporter since Suarez.
