2024/25 Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool – Predictions, Predicted Lineups, Injury News

Selhurst Park will host a Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and high-flying Liverpool. As the two teams prepare to face off, the stakes couldn’t be higher for both.

Crystal Palace is desperate for points, sitting perilously close to the relegation zone, while Liverpool seeks to maintain their dominant start to the season and solidify their spot at the top of the table.

With both teams heading into this game on contrasting forms, this promises to be an intriguing battle.

Crystal Palace Preview

Crystal Palace is struggling to find form this season, currently sitting 18th in the Premier League table. With no wins in their last five matches (three draws and two losses), the pressure is mounting on Oliver Glasgner’s men.

The Eagles have scored four goals but conceded seven in this period, highlighting their defensive frailties and lack of cutting edge in front of goal.

Their most recent game saw them take an early lead against Everton, only to falter in the second half and lose 2-1. Despite some moments of promise, Palace was unable to hold off the rejuvenated Toffees, who rallied in the second half to overturn the deficit.

Eberechi Eze continues to be their standout player, averaging 1.2 shots on target per match, and will be key to their attacking efforts.

At home, Palace has also struggled, failing to win any of their three games (two draws, one loss), scoring just twice and conceding four goals. With injuries further hampering their squad, it’s unclear how they will cope with the intense pressure from Liverpool.

Liverpool Preview

Liverpool comes into this game sitting at the top of the table, having won four of their last five matches. Arne Slot’s side has been lethal in front of goal, scoring 13 times in their last five outings while conceding just two.

Their last game was a 2-1 win over Wolves, where Mohamed Salah’s penalty secured three points following a brief scare from the hosts.

Away from home, Liverpool has been equally impressive, winning all three of their away matches this season. They’ve scored seven goals and conceded just one, making them the second-best team on the road behind Chelsea.

The likes of Salah, Jota, and Gakpo have been instrumental in their attack, and with a solid defense that has kept the most clean sheets in the league, they are firm favorites heading into this fixture.
