Premier League matchweek 10 continues this Sunday as a struggling Crystal Palace squad welcomes the formidable force of Liverpool. It is a classic David vs. Goliath scenario with 18th-placed Palace still desperately chasing their rhythm. They must somehow find a way to halt a ruthless Liverpool side hunting down critical points near the top of the table. Seeing if legendary home intensity can fully disrupt elite attacking flair makes this an enticing fixture. Let's weigh up the statistics.

Premier League
The historical scales heavily favor the visitors over the long haul, but recent spells tell a much tighter story. Out of their last 6 encounters across all competitions, Liverpool grabbed two victories while Crystal Palace managed two wins alongside two hard-fought stalemates. The Reds' clinical 3-1 victory at Anfield settled their last league meeting back in April. This fixture has remained highly entertaining for the fans, averaging 2.83 goals per game over that 6-match sequence.
Crystal Palace team overview
Crystal Palace prepares for this one on the back of a dramatic 1-1 Europa League draw against Hoffenheim. The Eagles showed serious character to snatch a point after playing with ten men.
Pierre Sage's men are going through a rough domestic spell where they have lost their last three Premier League matches without scoring a single goal. This dismal run leaves them sitting low in the bottom three of the table.
The Londoners are winless in their last two league games at Selhurst Park. Despite that specific domestic slump, they have been surprisingly tough to beat in front of their own fans, suffering only one defeat across their last four home games in all competitions.
The squad faces a massive hurdle up front as Jean-Philippe Mateta is unavailable for Sunday's clash due to a strict three-match Premier League suspension following his red card against Tottenham.
On a positive note, midfield engine Adam Wharton is fully available for domestic duty since his costly red card only applies to European tournaments.

Liverpool team overview
Liverpool enters this one on the back of a frustrating 3-2 away defeat against Turkish side Fenerbahçe in the Champions League. The Reds are desperate to immediately find their footing after consecutive defeats.
Andoni Iraola's men are navigating an erratic patch where they have shipped five goals in their last three games. This inconsistent domestic form leaves them sitting fifth in the table with 15 points.
Looking at their broader performances on the road, the Merseyside giants are carrying a formidable four-match unbeaten run with three wins in the Premier League this season.
Alexander Isak is in scintillating form up top, boasting six league goals this season. Creative playmaker Florian Wirtz is also fit and ready to pull the strings in the final third. Unfortunately, the squad must cope with a massive blow as central defender Giovanni Leoni is ruled out with a serious long-term injury.

Prediction
Liverpool should edge this one. Their terrifying away form looks too strong for a toothless Palace side missing Mateta through suspension. Plus, the visitors have smashed three wins on the road already this term. It won't be a quiet affair, though. Liverpool rarely keep clean sheets on their travels, conceding in thirteen of their last fifteen away trips. I'm backing a tight 2-1 away win. Honestly, over 2.5 goals feels like absolute bank.
Four reasons we expect over 2.5 goals in this game
- Liverpool finished only two of their last 15 away games without conceding.
- Crystal Palace scored at least once in ten of their last eleven home games.
- Seven of the last nine away games of Liverpool finished with three or more goals.
- All last four meetings between Palace and Liverpool produced three or more goals.
