Liverpool are 6th with 15 points from 9 matches. They have collected 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats, scoring 11 goals and conceding 9.

Recent form and home/away records

Crystal Palace have 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats from their last 5 matches. Most recently they drew 1-1 at home to Hoffenheim. Before that they lost 0-2 away to Tottenham Hotspur, and before that they won 1-0 away at Fulham. Earlier still they were beaten 0-2 at home by Newcastle United, and before that they drew 2-2 away at Beşiktaş.

Liverpool also have 2 defeats in their last 5 matches, alongside 2 wins and 1 draw. Their latest outing ended in a 2-3 defeat away to Fenerbahçe. Before that they lost 0-1 at home to Arsenal, and before that they drew 1-1 at home with Chelsea.

Home and away numbers add another layer. Crystal Palace have played 4 Premier League matches at home this season, winning 1, drawing 0 and losing 3, with 6 goals scored and 10 conceded. Liverpool, by contrast, are unbeaten on their league travels: 4 matches away from home have brought 3 wins and 1 draw, with 7 goals scored and only 3 conceded.

Previous meetings

The last 2 meetings between the clubs produced contrasting outcomes. The most recent, on 25 April 2026, finished Liverpool 3-1 Crystal Palace. Before that, on 29 October 2025, the result was Liverpool 0-3 Crystal Palace, a scoreline that shows Crystal Palace have found a way to trouble this opponent.

Players to watch

Tyrick Mitchell is Crystal Palace's top scorer in the Premier League this season with 2 goals. In a side that has found the net 9 times in the league, his contributions carry weight.

Alexander Isak leads the way for Liverpool with 6 Premier League goals this season. That accounts for a large share of his side's 11 league goals, and the Crystal Palace defence will be aware of the threat he poses.

How the two sides tend to play

The numbers point to a Crystal Palace side that has struggled at the back in the league, conceding 21 goals in 9 matches. In their last 5 matches they scored in 3 and kept a clean sheet in 1, while both teams scored in 2 of those games. Their attacking output of 9 league goals suggests chances have been hard to convert.

Liverpool's figures indicate a more balanced profile in the league, with 11 goals scored and 9 conceded. In their last 5 matches they scored in 4, kept a clean sheet in 1, and both teams found the net in 3. Their defeats to Fenerbahçe and Arsenal, together with the 4-3 win over Villarreal, show they have been open at times, yet their away league record of 3 goals conceded in 4 matches reflects a tighter picture on the road.
