Crystal Palace vs Liverpool betting tips and summary
Liverpool to win or draw – in flying form but held by Palace in recent H2Hs
Mohamed Salah to score or assist – Good trend in EPL H2Hs
Jean-Philippe Mateta to score or assist – netted twice this season, certain to start
Crystal Palace host Liverpool on Saturday afternoon, as the two remaining unbeaten sides go head-to-head on matchday six of the 2025/26 English Premier League.
The home side have tallied nine points from a possible 15 and are yet to lose a match so far this season, though are yet to win at Selhurst Park.
In their latest match, Tyrick Mitchell’s winner helped the Eagles defeated strugglers West Ham 2-1 – propelling them to fifth in the English Premier League table.
You would have to go back to April 16 for the last time that manager Oliver Glasner’s side last lost an EPL match – though this weekend’s challengers come in the shape of the reigning champions.
Liverpool’s habit of scoring last-minute winners came to an end in the Merseyside derby last weekend, after the Reds’ two first-half goals were enough to see off neighbours Everton 2-1.
It followed a midweek win over Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, whilst also being the latest of five English Premier League victories in a row this season.
With another victory under their belts in the Carabao Cup in midweek, manager Arne Slot’s side are already in a good position to defend their English Premier League title and will hope for no ‘Crystanbul’ hauntings when they travel to the scene of that infamous match in 2014.
What are the best bets for Crystal Palace vs Liverpool?
Liverpool to win or draw
The Reds are the only team to win all of their English Premier League matches this season, but they do tend to struggle against Saturday’s opponents.
I see this going in favour of Liverpool, but Crystal Palace have shown themselves capable of beating Slot’s reigning English Premier League champions.
Mohamed Salah to score or assist
Dubbed ‘The Egyptian King’ by the red half of Merseyside, Salah remains the talisman of Liverpool despite a whole host of new faces in their attack.
He is a guaranteed starter and has contributed to two goals in the last four English Premier League head-to-heads between these clubs.
Jean-Philippe Mateta to score or assist
This landed in the last match between these two clubs and after the departure of Eberechi Eze, Mateta remains the one true goal threat in Glasner’s side.
He also netted in his last match against West Ham last Saturday.
