Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool: Current situation
Crystal Palace are one of 5 remaining teams who are without a victory after 6 games played. For a team that finished 10th in the table last season, that is far too little, and pressure is already mounting on head coach Oliver Glasner. With a couple of high profile players departing in the summer, Palace are once again trying to build chemistry which saw them equal the team’s best finish to a Premier League season since 2014/15 last year. The most notable departures are Michael Olise (Bayern Munich) and Joachim Andersen (Fulham).
A new era has begun in Liverpool following Jurgen Klopp’s departure this summer. With a new man in charge the Reds look arguably just as good, if not better, under the guidance of Arne Slot. Not a lot of people would have had Liverpool top of the league after 6 games played, but that’s the reality we’re in right now. With just one minor setback against Nottingham Forest on Matchday 4, Slot’s men will look to maintain their grip on the number one spot in the standings.
Crystal Palace Stats & Form
Scoring goals has not been a problem for Palace so far this season – they’ve found the net a total of 9 times in their first 6 games in all competition. However, they’ve only been able to collect 3 points from those 6 games, but it is worth nothing that 2 of those points came in draws against top-tier teams like Chelsea and Manchester United.
Liverpool Stats & Form
Only one team has struggled more this season in the Premier League than Southampton. Head coach Russell Martin finds himself 2nd from bottom with just 1 point from 6 matches played. They’re 3 points behind 17th place which would guarantee safety and following a 3-1 defeat against Bournemouth last time out, they face a tough challenge to get a result against one of the top tier teams in the Premier League. The last time Southampton won at Emirates was back in 2016 in the Carabao Cup.
Crystal Palace – Liverpool: Head to Head
When it comes to head-to-head meetings, Liverpool has been the far superior opponent winning 19 of the last 32 games played. Revenge will be on the minds of Liverpool players here, the last time these two teams met Crystal Palace shocked the world in a 1-0 victory at Anfield. The home team failed to capitalize on the fact that they had 70% of possession and 21 shots on goal in that game.

Betting tip and prediction: Crystal Palace – Liverpool (05.10.2024)
Losing 1-0 against Nottingham Forest hasn’t had too much of a negative effect on Liverpool. Since then they’ve gone on to win their next 4 games – two of which were in the Premier League, one in the Carabao Cup and one against AC Milan in the Champions League. However, the defense hasn’t been all that confidence inspiring during this streak as they’ve conceded in 3 of the 4 games. Palace have been very solid up front so far this season, failing to score in only 1 of the 6 games played. We’ve also seen 3 of the last 6 meetings between these two teams finish with both of them finding the net. The crowd at Selhurst Park will be up for it, there is just too much firepower on offense on both teams, I’m going with both teams to score here.
