Premier League action kicks off at Selhurst Park on Saturday lunchtime, as an out-of-sorts Crystal Palace look to pull off an upset against Arne Slot’s table-topping Liverpool.
The Eagles have struggled in their first six top-flight matches of the season, with last weekend’s 2-1 loss to Everton keeping Oliver Glasner’s men in the drop zone. Despite their poor form, they are only behind Leicester City on goals scored.
In contrast, Arne Slot has made history as the first Liverpool manager to win eight of their first nine matches in charge. The Reds continued their strong form with a 2-0 victory over Bologna in the Champions League, marking their fifth straight win in all competitions.
Looking at the head-to-head record between Crystal Palace and Liverpool, the two teams have met 64 times. Liverpool have dominated the fixture with 36 wins, while Crystal Palace have managed 15 victories of their own, with 13 draws between them.
Crystal Palace’s most recent triumph over Liverpool came in April 2024, when Eberechi Eze’s goal secured a 1-0 win at Anfield. This victory ended a 13-match winless run against Liverpool for the Eagles, and they have only lost one of their last four meetings with the Reds.
An infamous moment in the recent history of this fixture was Luis Suarez’s emotional reaction to Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool throwing away a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Palace at Selhurst Park. Despite this, Liverpool have a strong record against Palace, with Sadio Mane leading the way with 10 goals against the Eagles.
As the two teams prepare to face off once again, all eyes will be on Selhurst Park to see if Crystal Palace can turn their fortunes around against the high-flying Liverpool side.
