Match Details
The match kicks off at 3:00pm BST on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at Anfield. This fixture is subject to change depending on FA Cup participation. Crystal Palace have been Liverpool's bogey team this season, inflicting defeats in the Community Shield, Premier League, and EFL Cup - a remarkable hat-trick that makes this encounter all the more compelling.
Anfield
Anfield is one of football's most iconic venues, home to Liverpool FC since 1892. With a capacity of 61,276 following the expansion of the Anfield Road End, it remains one of the largest and most atmospheric stadiums in English football. The famous Kop end continues to generate one of the most intimidating atmospheres in world football, though Crystal Palace have proven remarkably resilient here in recent times.
Head-to-Head Record
Liverpool and Crystal Palace have met 69 times in all competitions, with Liverpool holding a commanding lead of 37 wins to Palace's 18, with 14 draws. However, the recent record tells a different story entirely. Palace have won their last three meetings against Liverpool this season and are unbeaten in their last four visits to Anfield in all competitions. Palace's 70 goals conceded to Liverpool remain their worst record against any single opponent in Premier League history, but Oliver Glasner's side have found a formula to overcome the Reds.
Last Meetings
Crystal Palace have dominated this fixture in 2025-26. In the FA Community Shield at Wembley (August 10, 2025), Palace won 3-2 on penalties after a thrilling 2-2 draw. Liverpool debutants Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong both scored, but Jean-Philippe Mateta's penalty and Ismaila Sarr's equaliser forced a shootout where Dean Henderson saved from Mohamed Salah, Alexis Mac Allister, and Harvey Elliott. In the Premier League at Selhurst Park (September 27, 2025), Eddie Nketiah scored a stunning 97th-minute winner to seal a 2-1 victory after Federico Chiesa had appeared to rescue a point for Liverpool. Then in the EFL Cup fourth round at Anfield (October 29, 2025), Palace hammered a much-changed Liverpool side 3-0 with Sarr scoring twice and Yeremy Pino adding a late third.
Liverpool 2025/26 Season
Arne Slot's Liverpool have experienced a challenging season following their Premier League title triumph under Jürgen Klopp. Summer signings including Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Alexander Isak have added firepower, though consistency has proven elusive. Mohamed Salah continues to be the talisman with 8 goals against Palace in his career, trailing only Sadio Mane's record of 10 against the Eagles. Liverpool will be determined to end Palace's remarkable run against them before the season concludes.
Crystal Palace 2025/26 Season
Oliver Glasner has transformed Crystal Palace into genuine contenders. After winning the FA Cup in May 2025 - their first major trophy - Palace added the Community Shield and are competing in the UEFA Conference League. Key departures include Eberechi Eze to Arsenal (£60m) and Marc Guéhi to Manchester City in January, but the Eagles have recruited wisely with Brennan Johnson and Jørgen Strand Larsen (a club-record £43m) arriving in January. Ismaila Sarr has been sensational against Liverpool, scoring five goals in eight games against them including strikes in all three meetings this season.
