2026/27 Premier League, Matchday 10

 

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

 

Selhurst Park, London

 

Sunday 8 November, 16:00

 

 

Liverpool will look to bounce back to winning form in the Premier League when they face struggling hosts Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on the afternoon of Sunday 8 November. Kick-off at 16:00.

 

 

Form

 

Palace suffered a fourth successive Premier League defeat when they were beaten 2-0 away to Tottenham on Saturday, leaving them mired in the relegation zone. The Eagles’ hopes of a result were crippled early on when striker Jean-Philippe Mateta received a red card just 13 minutes into the game.

 

Liverpool suffered a second Premier League defeat of the season when they were beaten 1-0 at home by log leaders Arsenal on Sunday. Both of the Reds’ defeats have come at home to fellow heavyweights (0-1 to Arsenal and 0-3 to Manchester City).

 

 

Team news

 

Palace will be without Mateta due to suspension, but Jorgen Strand Larsen has recently returned from an ankle knock and should be fit to replace him upfront. Ismaila Sarr and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain sidelined with minor injuries until after the international break.

 

Ahead of a UEFA Champions League clash away to Fenerbahce on Wednesday, Liverpool will be without Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Hugo Ekitike, while Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz will be carefully monitored.

 

 

Head-to-head

 

Palace and Liverpool have met in 67 matches across all competitions. The Reds have claimed 36 wins compared to 18 for the Eagles, while 13 games have been drawn.

 

The teams met four times last season: Palace won on penalties in the Community Shield, as well 2-1 (home) in the Premier League and 3-0 (away) in the EFL Cup, but Liverpool recorded a 3-1 win at Anfield in their most recent league meeting in April 2026.

 

 

Quotes

 

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola:

 

“I can say what I think about the situations but we cannot waste too much time about the refereeing decisions. We have to say what it is, I think it is a pen, but we have to control the things we need to improve to be on the right side of these close games. I think we’ve done today more than enough to score. Probably what we need to correct is the beginning of the game until we conceded.

 

“It’s true we conceded when we mess up a goal-kick, but the feeling I had before was that their goal was closer than ours and from that moment I think the game has changed to our favour. It is true that probably they didn’t need to take risks and they go deeper, but I honestly felt our goal was coming because I think we’ve created enough pressure.”
