Crystal Palace v Liverpool kicks off at 2pm (GMT) on Sunday 8 November 2026 at Selhurst Park and is live on Sky Sports. Our Crystal Palace v Liverpool prediction is a Liverpool win: Palace have lost their last three league games without scoring, Jean-Philippe Mateta is suspended, and they drew 1-1 with Hoffenheim on Thursday night, three days before this game. Liverpool have lost twice in four days, 1-0 at home to Arsenal and 3-2 at Fenerbahçe, but Andoni Iraola rested Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo from the start in Istanbul. Palace beat Liverpool 2-1 at Selhurst Park last season. These are our opinions, not certainties, and we don’t quote odds because prices move.

What is the Crystal Palace team news?
Jean-Philippe Mateta is suspended and Ismaïla Sarr remains out. In Crystal Palace’s official 6 November update, Pierre Sage said Sarr will return after the international break. Sage identified Jørgen Strand Larsen and Eddie Nketiah as alternatives to Mateta, and said Strand Larsen could play 60–75 minutes after his return from injury.
Palace drew 1-1 with Hoffenheim on Thursday. Strand Larsen was an unused substitute; availability does not mean he is certain to start. The European fixture has finished, so this preview no longer waits for its team-news aftermath.
What is the Liverpool team news?
Ryan Gravenberch remains a doubt, not a confirmed absence. In Liverpool FC’s 6 November update, Andoni Iraola described the heel issue as day-to-day and dependent on pain. He said Gravenberch was the only doubt and the other availability issues were unchanged. We have not assumed a recovery or named an unconfirmed starting XI.
Liverpool played Fenerbahçe on Wednesday, giving them one day more recovery than Palace. Check the confirmed line-ups before using player markets.
What form are Crystal Palace and Liverpool in?
Crystal Palace have lost their last three Premier League games without scoring: 5-0 at Brighton, 2-0 at home to Newcastle and 2-0 at Tottenham. They have won two of nine league games, their 21 goals conceded are the most in the division, and they are in the bottom three (BBC Sport). Sage admitted on Wednesday that results are “not at the level at the moment”. Palace won last season’s Conference League, and they drew 1-1 with Hoffenheim on 5 November.
Liverpool had won five games in a row before losing 1-0 at home to Arsenal on Sunday and 3-2 at Fenerbahçe on Wednesday, BBC Sport says. In Istanbul they led twice through Trey Nyoni and Isak but conceded three goals from set pieces, which Iraola called “cheap” and “messy”. They are fifth in the league, nine points behind leaders Arsenal.
| Form and table (BBC Sport, 3 November 2026) | Crystal Palace | Liverpool |
|---|---|---|
| League position / points | 18th / 7 from 9 | 5th / 15 from 9 |

What happened when Crystal Palace played Liverpool last season?
The teams won a game each in the 2025/26 Premier League. Palace won 2-1 at Selhurst Park on 27 September 2025: Ismaïla Sarr scored early, Federico Chiesa equalised in the 87th minute and Eddie Nketiah won it in stoppage time (Crystal Palace match centre). Liverpool won 3-1 at Anfield on 25 April 2026, with goals from Isak, Andy Robertson and Wirtz, and Daniel Muñoz scoring for Palace (BBC Sport). Both clubs have a different manager now.
What are the key stats for Crystal Palace v Liverpool?
- Palace have lost three league games in a row without scoring, and Mateta is suspended.
- Palace’s 21 league goals conceded is the most in the Premier League; Liverpool have conceded nine (BBC Sport).
- Liverpool conceded three set-piece goals at Fenerbahçe, and Iraola said they “should definitely defend better”.
- Palace played on Thursday evening and Liverpool played on Wednesday, so Palace have a day less to recover.
- Palace won this fixture 2-1 last season, with the winner in stoppage time.
What is our Crystal Palace v Liverpool prediction?
These are our opinions on how the match might go, not certainties. Football is unpredictable, and any bet can lose. Only stake what you can afford to lose.
Liverpool to win: this is our lean. Palace haven’t scored in three league games, they are without Mateta, and they will have had one day less to recover. Liverpool should have Isak, Wirtz and Gakpo fresh. Against that, Liverpool have lost their last two games and conceded from set pieces in Istanbul, so this isn’t a confident call. If you would rather have your stake back on a draw, draw no bet does that.
Goals: we don’t have a strong lean. Palace’s attack has dried up in the league, but they concede often.
Score guess: Crystal Palace 0-2 Liverpool.
Player markets: wait for the confirmed line-ups. Palace’s rotation after Hoffenheim, Gravenberch’s fitness and who plays right-back for Liverpool are all open questions.
Palace’s Thursday game is covered in our Crystal Palace v Hoffenheim preview, and the pressure on Sage is followed on our next manager sacked page.
