Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Preview and Team News
Liverpool Team News
One of the best teams in Europe, Liverpool, will have to make do without a few crucial players. Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong, Alisson Becker, Ryan Gravenberch, Giovanni Leoni, and Stefan Bajcetic have all been ruled out with injuries.
Manager Arne Slot, who helped the Reds win the Premier League in 2024-25, has recently experimented with the idea of a 4-4-2 formation, but it remains to be seen whether it’ll work out.
He could stick with that setup or return to their usual 4-2-3-1 formation. He may also rotate his squad against Crystal Palace and give some of the youngsters on the bench an opportunity.

The Reds were defeated 2-3 by Brentford on Saturday in the Premier League, a result that should serve as a big wake-up call for Slot’s men. It was only thanks to Mohamed Salah’s late goal that they managed to reduce the deficit. Otherwise, the match would have ended in a 1-3 defeat.
Hungry after this loss, in which they could not make good use of their 66% possession, Liverpool should be a changed side against Palace. What will frustrate Slot a lot is the fact that they took 18 shots against Brentford and even maintained an 88% accuracy in passing, but to no avail. Slot should ensure that his wards train hard in their zonal marking system before hosting the Eagles.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace (4-2-3-1): Woodman; Robertson, Gomez, Konate, Bradley; Mac Allister, Endo; Gakpo, Jones, Rio; Chiesa.
Crystal Palace Team News
Crystal Palace are dealing with three injuries: Caleb Kporha, Chadi Riad, and Cheick Doucoure. The club may also look to rotate their squad, though not to the extent that Liverpool gain a complete advantage over them.
The Eagles are renowned for playing on the break and making transitions quicker than their fans can understand their moves. This is bound to pose some challenges to the Reds’ defense, especially if long balls are played towards them.
Palace, who have been one of the surprise packages in the Premier League this season, come here on the back of a narrow 0-1 loss to their London rivals Arsenal on Sunday. That result has dented their recent form, leaving them with three losses in four matches.

It was a matter of great irony that it had to be Eberechi Eze who scored Arsenal’s lone goal against Palace, after moving there from Selhurst Park earlier this year. Manager Oliver Glasner opted for a compact 3-4-2-1 formation, but it wasn’t enough to counter Arsenal’s speed and accuracy of passing.
Against the Reds, Palace will need to be sharp in their man-marking and avoid giving their opponents much space on the flanks.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Liverpool (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Guehi, Lacroix, Richards; Mitchell, Kamada, Hughes, Munoz; Pino, Sarr; Nketiah.
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Prediction
- Pick: Liverpool to win
- Odds: -182 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Crystal Palace
We expect Liverpool to win. Even with some rotation, they should have enough quality in their XI to overcome any challenge sent their way by Palace. The visiting side's shoddy defending, particularly in one-on-one situations, will likely allow the Reds to have complete control.
What's more, if things look dire, Slot can always call upon the likes of Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah from the bench towards the end of the evening. Liverpool are expected to overpower their opponents largely through the quality and experience of all their players.
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -159 (20Bet)
We expect both teams to get on the scoresheet. While Liverpool will have an edge over Palace, the latter are no minnows and can strike back with precision if they string a few passes together.
Most importantly, the visitors need to ensure that they don’t allow the Reds to gain momentum in midfield. If the Eagles succeed in doing that and capitalize on set-piece opportunities in the final third, they can cause a lot of trouble.
Liverpool, for their part, need to retain their focus on zonal marking and not give their opponents much time on the ball, especially during transitions.
