So this really is a huge Premier League encounter before the November international break, and a defeat for Palace may spell the end of Sage’s tenure.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Preview

Recent results

It has been a sobering few weeks for Crystal Palace. The Eagles won just one of their last seven games, and that was a 1-0 victory at Fulham in the EFL Cup. Sage’s men lost each of the last three in the Premier League without scoring vs Brighton (5-0), Newcastle (0-2) and Tottenham (2-0), while the South Londoners were also held to a 1-1 draw by Hoffenheim in the Europa League on Thursday.

Liverpool’s midweek European outing was even worse, with Iraola’s troops slipping to a 3-2 defeat at Fenerbahce after initially taking a 2-1 lead. The previous Premier League encounter saw the Reds lose 1-0 at Anfield to table-toppers Arsenal, though their last top-flight away match saw them collect a 2-1 victory at Brentford.

Head-to-head record

After a run of dominance between 2017 and 2023, Liverpool’s recent record vs Crystal Palace is far from the best.

Last season’s 3-1 win at Anfield ended a three-match losing streak vs the Eagles across all competitions.

Palace triumphed 2-1 at Selhurst Park in 2025-26, in which Eddie Nketiah scored a 97th-minute winner.

Team news

Chadi Riad, Ismaila Sarr and Takehiro Tomiyasu are the injury absentees from a Crystal Palace standpoint, while Jean-Philippe Mateta serves the first of a three-match suspension following his reckless red card at Tottenham.

Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong continue their stints on the Liverpool treatment table, while Ryan Gravenberch is a major doubt to feature at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Odds

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Betting Tips

Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.57

Defensively, both of these teams look a little suspect. Palace kept just one clean sheet in the last seven games across all competitions, while Liverpool tallied only one in the previous eight matches. So this BTTS pick, which landed in the last three meetings between the sides in the top flight, feels almost inevitable.

Anytime goalscorer – Alexander Isak @ 1.96

Isak has been Liverpool’s go-to man in the Premier League this season, the Swedish striker sitting on six goals from eight appearances. Four of them were scored on the road, while Isak also came off the bench to head home in the aforementioned loss at Fenerbahce. Oh and he also netted in two of his last three matches vs Palace, just to add to the appeal here!

Bet Builder: Liverpool to win, both teams to score and Alexander Isak to score anytime @ 4.00

And combining the two picks above with the most likely match outcome, a Liverpool win, generates some fairly healthy odds using our Bet Builder feature. What is not to love?
