Comments and predictions for Crystal Palace vs Liverpool: Regrettable loss of points

Latest Crystal Palace vs Liverpool team information

Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike receives a red card (second yellow card) for taking off his shirt to celebrate a goal during the League Cup match against Southampton, September 23, 2025

The only negative for Palace last weekend was Yeremy Pino being forced off midway through the game with a knee injury, but the winger returned to training during the week and is available.

Ismaila Sarr – who has been nursing a thigh problem since the 3-0 win over Aston Villa at the end of August – could also return, threatening Daichi Kamada’s place in the starting XI. However, Palace are still without five players: Cheick Doucoure (knee), Chadi Riad (knee), Walter Benitez (finger), Odsonne Edouard (Achilles tendon) and Caleb Kporha (back).

As for Liverpool, Ekitike's silly red card in the League Cup saw the 23-year-old striker suspended for one match and Alexander Isak is likely to make his Premier League debut for the Reds.

In addition, Liverpool also suffered a loss when young center-back Giovanni Leoni suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and could be out for the rest of the season.

Apart from the above two cases, coach Slot has no further problems with the force. He is expected to change up to 10 positions compared to the match against Southampton. However, he is still considering the possibility of using Florian Wirtz - a player worth 116 million pounds who was on the bench in the Merseyside derby.

Latest expected lineup for Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

Crystal Palace:

Henderson; Guehi, Richards, Lacroix; Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Sarr, Pino; Mateta

Liverpool:

Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak

Latest Crystal Palace vs Liverpool football commentary

Possessing the longest current unbeaten run in the Premier League, Crystal Palace will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to 12 games in the top flight on Saturday afternoon; they have only ever managed this once before, under Steve Coppell in 1990.

On 20 September, manager Oliver Glasner oversaw an 11th consecutive Premier League game without defeat, as goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell – sandwiched between Jarrod Bowen’s strike – gave Palace a 2-1 win over West Ham in the London derby away from home.

Bowen’s equaliser was only the second goal Palace have conceded this season, with the joint-best defensive record in the league, level with Arsenal. The positive start bodes well for the FA Cup winners.

In fact, the last time Palace were unbeaten in their opening five Premier League games was in 1990-91, when they went unbeaten in their first 10 games and finished third – the club's highest-ever finish in English football.

While the Champions League dream is still a long way off, Palace will soon have to turn their attention to the European arena: after hosting Liverpool, they will enter their Europa Conference League group stage opener against Dynamo Kiev next Thursday.

Coincidentally, Palace and Liverpool will meet again in the fourth round of the League Cup, after the Reds overcame Southampton with a 2-1 win at Anfield on Tuesday.

As usual, Slot's heavily rotating lineup had to wait until the last 10 minutes to get the decisive goal, thanks to Hugo Ekitike's close-range tap-in. However, the joy was quickly overshadowed by his second silly yellow card when he took off his shirt in celebration, leading to a red card.

Despite the thoughtless finish, the goal still secured Liverpool's seventh consecutive win in all competitions. The sixth in that run came in the 2-1 Merseyside derby win over Everton, which saw the defending champions maintain their unbeaten run in the Premier League.

Liverpool have not had a dominating win, but they have created a 5-point gap over the chasing pack at the top of the table. If they continue to win, Liverpool will have started the Premier League season with 6 consecutive wins for the fifth time in history.

Liverpool's head-to-head record at Selhurst Park also favours them, with nine wins and one draw in their last 10 Premier League away games against Palace. However, it was Palace who beat the Reds on penalties to win the Community Shield in August.
