Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Prediction 27.09.2025 | Premier League

Last season ended with a historic moment for Crystal Palace, as the Eagles finally lifted the first trophy in their history by beating Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final, sparking celebrations that fans at Selhurst Park will never forget.

Although they had gone 120 years without lifting a single trophy, the London club managed to deliver another sensation just three months after their historic FA Cup triumph, as they twice came from behind against Liverpool in the Community Shield final before toppling them in a penalty shootout, adding a second piece of silverware to their cabinet.

It should not go unnoticed that Crystal Palace have not been beaten since suffering a five-goal humiliation at the hands of Newcastle back in mid-April, a remarkable run that now stretches to 17 consecutive matches without defeat, capped off by a 2-1 victory over West Ham last time out.

While the Reds have stormed to five wins from five, the Eagles stand alone as the only team to remain unbeaten in the opening five Premier League fixtures, recording two wins and three draws, and they will aim to be the first to deny Liverpool points, taking heart from an 11-game unbeaten run at Selhurst Park.

Head coach Oliver Glasner has a few players sidelined, but he received encouraging news this week that Yeremy Pino is likely to be available for Saturday’s clash with Liverpool after his knee injury last week.

No club this summer showed a greater appetite for spending than Liverpool, who shelled out a staggering sum of nearly half a million euros on sensational signings, clearly signaling that they are serious about going after every trophy on all fronts, including defending their Premier League crown.

The new season did not start the way they had hoped, as they had already missed the chance to claim the Community Shield, falling to the Saturday hosts, but the Reds’ response was fascinating, as they went on to demonstrate their strength over the next seven competitive matches, coming out victorious in all of them.

Domestically, Arne Slot’s team has looked unscathed thus far, proudly standing as the only Premier League side to have claimed all 15 points from their opening five matches, already pulling five points clear of Arsenal, who sit closest to them in the table.

Although they have an extremely strong squad on paper, Liverpool haven’t looked overwhelmingly dominant in practice, as the results show, with only one of their seven consecutive wins coming by a two-goal margin.

The summer acquisition Hugo Ekitike will be absent from Saturday’s Selhurst Park clash, having received a second yellow card midweek for celebrating his match-winning goal in an unconventional way.
