Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Prediction: Battle of the Undefeated

Comments on the match Crystal Palace vs Liverpool in round 6 of the Premier League 2025 - 2026. The confrontation between the only two unbeaten teams, with Liverpool leading the table and Crystal Palace challenging at Selhurst Park.

Liverpool "conquer" Selhurst Park

Round 6 of the 2025 - 2026 Premier League witnessed a dramatic confrontation between Crystal Palace and Liverpool, the only two teams that still maintain an unbeaten record. Liverpool, with their devastating form, is leading the rankings after 5 consecutive wins. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace, under the leadership of coach Oliver Glasner, is creating a big surprise by ranking 5th with 9 points from 2 wins and 3 draws.

Selhurst Park, where Palace have yet to lose this season, will be a real test for Liverpool, who are looking to extend their winning streak to consolidate their top spot.

Liverpool: Arne Slot's winning machine

Liverpool entered the match with great confidence. Under coach Arne Slot, they not only maintained a stable performance but also showed diversity in their playing style. With 11 goals in 5 matches, Liverpool's attack, led by Mohamed Salah, is a nightmare for every defense. Salah, who has contributed to 51 goals in the Premier League since the start of last season, continues to be the team's main striker.

However, Liverpool will be without Hugo Ekitike due to suspension, and Alexander Isak is likely to be given a chance to start. This is the time for Isak to prove his worth after scoring his first goal for the team in the League Cup match.

Crystal Palace: When resilience is the strongest weapon

Crystal Palace don’t have the same flashy squad as Liverpool, but they are masters at making the most of their resources. Manager Oliver Glasner has built a disciplined, solid and efficient team. With just two goals conceded in five games, Palace have the best defence in the league.

Jean-Philippe Mateta, with 29 goals in 55 games under Glasner, is a formidable spearhead for the home side, while the return of Ismaïla Sarr and Yeremy Pino (if fit) will bring more innovation to the attack.

Hot spots that decided the match

Midfield battle: Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai will have to face Adam Wharton and Will Hughes, who have helped Palace control the midfield well in recent matches.

Palace vs Salah defense: Mohamed Salah, with his brilliant form, will be a difficult problem for the central defender trio Marc Guehi, Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards.

Palace's counter-attacking speed: With a direct style of play and high speed (2.02 m/s, second highest in the league), Palace can surprise if they make good use of transition situations.

Predict the match and score

Liverpool are rated higher thanks to the quality of the squad and stable form. However, Selhurst Park is not an easy place to win, especially when Palace is on an 11-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League.

Score prediction: Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool

Expected lineup:

Crystal Palace (3-4-3): Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Muñoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Pino, Kamada, Mateta.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Bradley, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Isak.
