LONDON (Interstat) — Liverpool hosts Crystal Palace on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in a Premier League matchup that pits a resurgent Palace against a Liverpool side desperate to reverse recent struggles.

The head-to-head has tilted decisively toward Palace. Crystal Palace won 3-0 at Anfield on Oct. 29, 2025, and followed with a 2-1 home victory over Liverpool on Sept. 27, 2025. Liverpool has lost its last two league meetings with Palace without scoring.

Palace enters on strong form. After a 0-0 draw with West Ham on April 20, manager Oliver Glasner’s side beat Arsenal 3-1 on April 18, adding to wins over Newcastle (2-1 on April 12) and Tottenham (3-1 on March 5). The Eagles are 5-2-3 in their last 10 league matches, with notable road wins at Brighton and Wolverhampton. Their lone poor result was a 4-3 loss at Sheffield United on April 12.

Liverpool, meanwhile, has been inconsistent. A 4-0 friendly win over French side Strasbourg on April 24 provided a boost, but league results have been shaky. The Reds lost 2-0 at Chelsea on April 12 and were crushed 4-0 at Manchester City on April 4. They did manage a 2-0 win at Fulham on April 11 and a 5-2 home victory over West Ham on Feb. 28. Overall, Liverpool is 4-4-2 in its last 10 Premier League outings, with both losses coming away from home.

Analytics firm Interstat projects a 1-1 draw, but its ELO system gives Liverpool a 72.5 percent probability of winning. The discrepancy suggests tight margins, with Palace’s recent away form — unbeaten in three road league matches — providing a counter.

Kickoff at Anfield is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time. Liverpool’s congested schedule includes a trip to Newcastle on Sunday, April 26, followed by a match at RB Leipzig the same day — an unusual double-game day. League commitments continue with visits to Manchester United (May 3) and Aston Villa (May 17), plus home matches against Chelsea (May 9) and Brentford (May 24).

Crystal Palace travels to Bournemouth on May 3, then hosts Everton (May 10) and Arsenal (May 24) with a trip to Brentford (May 17) in between.

Both teams are jockeying for European places in the Premier League table, making this clash pivotal heading into the final month of the season.
