Palace have lost three league games in a row without scoring, and Jean-Philippe Mateta is still banned. Liverpool lost 3-2 at Fenerbahçe in midweek, but this is still a game they should win. We back them at a shortened 4/7, and add a Bet Builder in case Palace find a goal.

Crystal Palace v Liverpool Prediction & Team News
Kick-off: 2pm (UK), Sunday 8 November, Selhurst Park. TV: Sky Sports Main Event.
Team news
Crystal Palace: Out: Jean-Philippe Mateta (suspended for Liverpool; appeal dismissed), Ismaïla Sarr (groin), Takehiro Tomiyasu (calf) and Chadi Riad (knee). Midweek: Palace drew 1-1 with Hoffenheim; Adam Wharton took a second yellow there but that ban is European-only, so he is available for the Premier League. Quinten Timber featured against Hoffenheim.
Liverpool: Out: Jeremie Frimpong (fit enough, but the club is delaying his return until after the international break), Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike and Giovanni Leoni. Doubtful: Ryan Gravenberch (heel). Returning/available: Dominik Szoboszlai; Bradley Barcola is expected back on the wing.
Predicted line-ups
Crystal Palace (predicted): Henderson; Canvot, Disasi, Richards; Mitchell, Kamada, Wharton, Mingueza; Pino, McNeil; Strand Larsen.
Liverpool (predicted): Alisson; Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Gakpo, Wirtz, Barcola; Isak.
Form (last 5)
Crystal Palace: D 1-1 Hoffenheim (h), L 0-2 Tottenham (a), W 1-0 Fulham (a, League Cup), L 0-2 Newcastle (h), D 2-2 Beşiktaş (a).
Liverpool: L 2-3 Fenerbahçe (a), L 0-1 Arsenal (h), D 1-1 Chelsea (h, League Cup, won 6-5 on penalties), W 2-0 Brighton (h), W 4-3 Villarreal (h).
Key stats & head-to-head
- Palace are 18th on seven points and have conceded 21 league goals in nine games.
- Liverpool are fifth on 15 points but have conceded nine in nine.
- Both sides played in Europe in midweek: Liverpool lost 3-2 at Fenerbahçe on Wednesday; Palace drew 1-1 with Hoffenheim on Thursday.
- Palace have scored in each of the last five meetings. Liverpool won the most recent one 3‑1 at Anfield in April 2026.
Verdict & prediction
Palace are leaking goals, can’t score in the league and have lost their main striker. That’s a bad mix against Isak and Wirtz.
Liverpool’s midweek defeat in Istanbul and the blank against Arsenal mean this isn’t a free hit. But Arsenal are top for a reason, and Palace are 18th for a reason too. Liverpool have shortened from 3/5 to 4/7 and still look the right side.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1‑2 Liverpool.
WIN
Liverpool to win | 4/7 · bet365
Palace have shipped 21 league goals, have lost three straight league games without scoring and are without Mateta. The risk is Liverpool’s blunt display against Arsenal and the midweek loss at Fenerbahçe, plus a Palace side that has scored in every one of the last five meetings.
WIN
Bet Builder: Liverpool to win & both teams to score | price on bet365 Bet Builder
Liverpool keep leaking goals, and Palace always seem to find one against them. No readable combined bet365 price was available today, so build it on bet365 Bet Builder and take the price there. The risk is that without Mateta, Palace simply don’t score.
