Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace: Head-to-head record and past meetings before EFL Cup last-16 clash

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 69

Draws: 14

A fixture that does not boast the richest head-to-head history, Crystal Palace and Liverpool have met on 69 occasions down the years, beginning with the Reds winning a 1937-38 FA Cup third-round tie after a replay.

That victory marked the first of 37 successes for the Merseyside giants in this matchup, while Palace have earned a respectable 18 wins of their own, and another 14 battles have ended in a split of the spoils.

The Eagles managed to claim a memorable triumph over Liverpool in April 2024, where a solitary Eberechi Eze strike silenced the Anfield faithful in a 1-0 win for Glasner's men, whose victory was a crushing blow to the Reds' title hopes.

Palace ended a miserable 13-match winless run against Liverpool with that surprise Anfield victory over the Easter period, and the Reds have only prevailed in two of their last nine games against the Eagles, although one did come at Selhurst Park in the 2023-24 season.

Liverpool repeated that London trick in the earliest days of the 2024-25 campaign, where despite losing Alisson Becker to injury, they triumphed thanks to an even earlier Diogo Jota strike in a 1-0 success.

In their following meeting in the Premier League that season, the Eagles came to Anfield in late May 2025 in triumphant mood after winning the FA Cup the previous weekend against Manchester City.

Liverpool were also in a celebratory mood given that they had been declared league champions and knew they would lift the trophy later that day, but they had to come from behind after Ismaila Sarr pounced on a mistake at the back to give the Londoners the lead.

Ryan Gravenberch was sent off in the second half for a last-man challenge, but Mohamed Salah inevitably drew the hosts level in the closing stages, and the two teams settled for a point.

Liverpool had seemingly done enough for a slice of the spoils in September 2025 too, only for Eddie Nketiah to come up with an astounding last-minute winner, as Palace prevailed 2-1 shortly after a well-earned Community Shield success too.

Both sides accepted a point apiece in both meetings during the 2022-23 campaign, prior to which Liverpool had overcome Palace 10 times in a row in the top flight, a sequence that includes their 7-0 mauling of Roy Hodgson's side at Selhurst Park in December 2020.

Palace's stadium has traditionally been a happy hunting ground for Liverpool in the Premier League era - at least before September 2025 - as they have won eight and drawn one of their last 10 top-flight matches at Selhurst Park.

However, the ground was also the site of Luis Suarez's tearful outburst earlier that year, as Brendan Rodgers's Liverpool remarkably threw away a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Palace, a result that effectively handed Manchester City the title.

Nevertheless, Palace's 39 home goals conceded to Liverpool - and 70 overall - are their worst records against a single opponent in the Premier League, and Sadio Mane leads the way in terms of individual strikes against Palace with 10, but Mohamed Salah (eight) is not far behind.

The club's last visit to Merseyside came in October 2025, when the Eagles emerged as 3-0 winners in the EFL Cup thanks to two goals from Sarr, and a strike from Yeremy Pino late on.

Liverpool had made 10 changes to their lineup from their Premier League game against Brentford four days earlier, and with no recognised stars on the bench, a loss was the predictable outcome.
