Liverpool vs Crystal Palace prediction 25.04.2026 | Premier League

Liverpool enter this contest with mixed recent form across competitions. Domestically, they have secured wins against Everton (2-1) and Fulham (2-0), but suffered defeats to Brighton and Manchester City, alongside elimination from European competition following back-to-back losses to PSG.

However, defensive inconsistencies persist. Liverpool have conceded in four of their last six matches, and their aggressive attacking shape often leaves transitional vulnerabilities. Their matches exceed 2.5 goals most of the time.

In terms of availability, Liverpool are expected to rotate selectively following a congested schedule, though their core attacking unit remains intact. Squad depth in forward areas continues to mitigate the impact of minor injuries.

Crystal Palace arrive in relatively stable form, having lost just once in their last five matches across all competitions. Their recent results include a 2-1 win over Newcastle and a goalless draw against West Ham, alongside competitive European outings, which have seen the Eagles qualify for the UEFA Europa Conference League semi-finals.

Away form has been particularly noteworthy, with Palace averaging 1.5 points per game on the road - one of the stronger mid-table away records. Worryingly for Liverpool, Crystal Palace have recorded two away wins from their last three league matches on the road.

Injury-wise, Palace have managed to maintain relative squad stability, though fixture congestion due to European commitments could influence rotation decisions. Adam Wharton is one of the key absences heading into this game though.
