Selhurst Park will be the scene on 27 September when Crystal Palace host Liverpool in Round 6 of the 2025/2026 Premier League. The setting is familiar — Holmesdale Road, a compact 25,456 crowd and referee Chris Kavanagh taking charge — but the storyline is anything but routine. Palace arrive unbeaten in the league, the surprise of the early campaign with two wins and three draws that have them sitting fifth on nine points. Liverpool, by contrast, have been relentless: five wins from five and top of the table with momentum that reads like a machine in full flow.
Crystal Palace’s slate shows resilience. They’ve collected clean sheets and valuable points with a balanced approach: three draws and two wins in five league matches, with a defense that has conceded just twice overall. Their recent victory at West Ham and a 3-0 win at Aston Villa underline they can punch above their weight. Across the detailed stats, Palace average 72.2 attacks per game and have been efficient enough to keep them unbeaten so far.
Liverpool’s form is dazzling. Ten wins on the latest run, five in the league, and a string of victories across competitions. They lead the league in attacking volume — 103 attacks per match on average — and create significantly more dangerous chances (53.8) than Palace. Their shot numbers are superior too: 71 total shots with 24 on target across the campaign so far, and an 11-goal lead over Palace in total scoring (11 to 6). Recent wins over the likes of Atlético Madrid and domestic rivals show this Liverpool side is not just winning, but doing so against quality opposition. Federico Chiesa’s man-of-the-match performance in the cup underlines the wide options Liverpool can call upon when needed.
This promises to be a contrast of styles: Palace’s disciplined, defensively sound setup versus Liverpool’s relentless attacking press and higher corner and shot volume. Palace do boast three clean sheets already, which will give them confidence at home; however Liverpool’s record of scoring and creating chances suggests they will test Palace repeatedly. Historically recent H2H in the Community Shield ended 2-2, indicating this fixture can produce goals and tension.
Betting suggestion: Based on form, volume of chances and bookmaker pricing, the clearest value is to back Liverpool to win (Away) at the available odds of 1.90. Liverpool’s attacking superiority and unbeaten run make them the logical pick in the 1X2 market.
