A Battle Between Two Unbreakable Premier League Sides
When it comes to comparing recent form, it can be argued that Liverpool and Crystal Palace are both two of the most in-form Premier League sides since the final phase of the 2024/25 campaign.
Crystal Palace have not lost a single match in the 2025/26 campaign and despite having only won two games, they have also gone through difficult games without suffering a defeat and being able to keep up their momentum.
However, the Eagles are set to face a Liverpool side who can do no wrong. Arne Slot’s side have won all seven matches in the 2025/26 campaign, including all five of their Premier League matches. Even though Liverpool are yet to tap into their best form in terms of playing the most lethal attacking football, they’ve still scored the most goals in the Premier League (11) and are going to look to get another big away win under their belt.
This upcoming Crystal Palace vs Liverpool clash is going to be a particularly intense one because of the recent match between the two sides in the Community Shield. Crystal Palace actually came back from being behind to defeat the Reds in that game, which means Slot’s side will be gunning for revenge.
With a lot of stakes riding on the Crystal Palace vs Liverpool clash, here we look at some key factors to consider.
Can Marc Guehi Survive A Trial By Fire?
Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi went through a chaotic summer transfer window earlier in 2025, as it was packed with him being linked to Liverpool. The deal progressed to the point that Guehi even reportedly completed his medical tests after a £35 million transfer package was agreed between the two sides, only for Crystal Palace to block his move to Anfield at the last moment.
Guehi has been forced to stay put at Selhurst Park for another campaign and will now face a team that could possibly be his future destination.
The England international has showcased admirable professionalism amid all the speculation on his future and helped Crystal Palace keep five clean sheets in nine games across all competitions this season. He’s ensured that the Eagles have only conceded two goals in five league games and frustrated many forwards.
However, Guehi will now face his toughest challenge so far in this campaign in facing off against Liverpool’s intimidating attackers. He will need to maintain a really sturdy defensive line and be proactive to cut out Liverpool’s moves to frustrate them and raise his side’s chances of getting a win.
Alexander Isak Hungry For First Premier League Goal for Liverpool
Alexander Isak was able to get his goal tally started for Liverpool by scoring in his side’s 2-1 win over Southampton in the EFL Cup clash recently.
With Hugo Ekitike getting himself sent off against the Saints and being suspended against Crystal Palace, it now looks like Isak is set to get his first league start for Liverpool. It’s time he turns up his tempo and proves his gigantic price tag!
Isak was able to score 23 goals in the 2024/25 Premier League, and he’ll be determined to get his first league goal for Liverpool, too. Isak was able to score one goal in two games against Crystal Palace last season and will be determined to haunt them again.
He’ll be looking to use his smart off-the-ball runs to get to the end of chances and ruthlessly finish them to inspire Liverpool to a big away win.
