The Premier League serves up a fascinating clash this weekend as the two remaining unbeaten sides, Crystal Palace and Liverpool, lock horns at Selhurst Park. Both teams have made positive starts to the campaign, but for very different reasons.

Palace’s transformation under Oliver Glasner has been nothing short of remarkable. The Eagles have built momentum on solid defensive foundations, combining discipline at the back with a counterattacking approach that has proven difficult to break down. They remain undefeated across all competitions this season (W5, D4), and their five-match unbeaten run in the league (W2, D3) marks their best top-flight start since 1990/91. That campaign ended with Palace finishing third in the First Division, still their highest-ever league placing. Supporters may not be expecting such a lofty finish this time around, but the excitement around the team is palpable.

Consistency has been a key theme. Palace are now 11 Premier League games unbeaten (W4, D7), the longest ongoing run in the division. Extending that to 12 would mark only the second time in their history they have achieved such a feat. At Selhurst Park, they have looked especially stubborn, refusing to trail at half-time in any of their last 11 home fixtures.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are thriving on momentum and resilience. Arne Slot’s men have won all seven of their matches this term, including five in the Premier League, and they seem to have rediscovered the habit of grinding out victories. Their ability to strike late has been especially telling, with several of their wins secured by goals in the closing stages. This never-say-die mentality has allowed the Reds to maintain a perfect record despite not always performing at their best.

Winning their first six top-flight games of a season would be historic. It has only been done by reigning champions twice before – Chelsea in 2005/06 and Manchester City in 2023/24 – and on both occasions, those teams went on to retain their titles. For Liverpool, achieving this milestone would send a strong message to rivals that they are more than capable of mounting a serious defence of their crown.

تاريخ المواجهات المباشرة

While Palace have reason to believe in their resilience, recent head-to-head records against Liverpool tell a different story. The Reds have dominated this fixture for over a decade, winning 12 of the last 16 Premier League meetings (D3, L1).

Selhurst Park has also been a happy hunting ground for Liverpool. They have won on nine of their last ten visits in the league (D1), regularly combining clinical finishing with defensive solidity in south London. Palace’s solitary bright spot in recent memory came in August when they beat Liverpool on penalties to lift the Community Shield, but that success does not erase the overwhelming dominance Liverpool have displayed in league encounters.

الإحصائيات والتسلسلات الساخنة

• Only one of Palace’s last ten competitive matches has been decided by more than one goal.
• Palace have not trailed at half-time in any of their last 11 home games.
• None of Liverpool’s last six matches have been settled by more than a single goal.
• Liverpool have scored first in eight of their last nine away games.
• Liverpool’s last three league matches have all been won by a one-goal margin.

Key Players to Watch and Missing Players

Crystal Palace captain مارك غويهي has been a rock at the back, continuing to marshal the defence with composure and authority.

His leadership has been vital to their five clean sheets in their last eight matches, and his consistency remains a cornerstone of Palace’s strong start. Interestingly, he was strongly linked with Liverpool during the summer, but stayed put in south London, and will now face the Reds directly.

For Liverpool, summer signing ألكسندر إيزاك made an impact in midweek by scoring his first goal for the club in their EFL Cup clash with Southampton.

Known for his ability to stretch defences and strike early, four of his last seven goals at club level have been the opening goal of the game. His presence in the attack, alongside the usual creative outlets, gives Liverpool a dangerous edge going forward.

On the team news front, Palace could again be without Ismaïla Sarr, who is recovering from a hamstring problem. Liverpool are missing Hugo Ekitiké due to suspension after his midweek red card. However, the Reds have otherwise managed to keep their injury list relatively short compared to previous seasons, which is another reason for their promising start.

التنبؤ

This is a clash that pits Liverpool’s relentless winning mentality against Palace’s defensive resilience and unbeaten run. Palace will lean on their organisation, looking to frustrate the visitors and exploit set-pieces or counterattacking chances. Their recent track record of staying level at half-time suggests they may well keep things tight early on.

Liverpool, though, have shown an ability to adapt in difficult situations. Even when performances have not been dominant, their knack for late goals has been decisive. Slot’s men are also battle-hardened from their experience of grinding out narrow wins, which could be crucial in a match where patience may be needed.

While Palace will take heart from their Community Shield victory, Liverpool’s overwhelming league dominance in this fixture cannot be ignored. Expect the Eagles to push the Reds hard, but Liverpool’s quality and belief should eventually shine through.

Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool
