Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 70

Draws: 14

Crystal Palace and Liverpool have locked horns on 70 occasions over the years, kicking off with a third-round FA Cup tie in 1937-38, which the Reds won after a replay.

That victory was the first of 38 for the Merseysiders in this fixture, though the Eagles have earned a commendable 18 wins of their own, while a further 14 clashes have seen the sides share the spoils.

In more recent years, Palace have enjoyed great success against Liverpool, having ended a 13-match winless run in this matchup with a memorable 1-0 triumph at Anfield in April 2024, courtesy of a strike from Eberechi Eze.

All-in-all, the Reds have only won three of their last 10 games against the Londoners, coming out on top at Selhurst Park in 2023-24, before repeating the trick early in 2024-25, when - despite losing Alisson Becker to injury - they were able to secure a 1-0 triumph thanks to a winner from Diogo Jota.

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.

However, Palace were Liverpool's bogey team yet again in 2025-26, beating Arne Slot's side in August's community shield, before downing the champions 2-1 at Selhurst Park in September, and knocking the Reds out of the EFL Cup with a 3-0 hammering in October.

In fairness to the Merseysiders, they had made 10 changes to their lineup from their Premier League game against Brentford four days prior to that cup clash, and with no recognised stars on the bench, a loss was a predictable outcome.

Liverpool were able to salvage some dignity in April 2026, though, when goals from Alexander Isak, Andrew Robertson and Florian Wirtz earned the Anfield club a 3-1 victory, rendering Daniel Munoz's controversial effort meaningless in the process.

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.
