Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace: Head-to-head record and past meetings before Premier League…

In a precursor to this summer's Community Shield, Premier League champions Liverpool and FA Cup holders Crystal Palace do battle in Sunday's Anfield showdown in the final gameweek of the 2024-25 top-flight season

Arne Slot's side should simply be counting down the minutes until they officially lift the Premier League trophy in front of their own fans, although they are yet to win since being crowned kings of the land.

Meanwhile, Palace also cannot wait for the final whistle to blow on the season so they can celebrate FA Cup glory properly, although the Eagles are still capable of sneaking into the top half of the Premier League table.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two clubs.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 65

Crystal Palace wins: 15

Draws: 13

Liverpool wins: 37

A fixture that does not boast the richest head-to-head history, Crystal Palace and Liverpool have met on 65 occasions down the years, beginning with the Reds winning a 1937-38 FA Cup third-round tie after a replay.

That victory marked the first of 37 successes for the Merseyside giants in this matchup, while Palace have earned a respectable 15 wins of their own, and another 13 battles have ended in a split of the spoils.

The Eagles managed to claim their most recent triumph over Liverpool as recently as April 2024, where a solitary Eberechi Eze strike silenced the Anfield faithful in a 1-0 win for Glasner's men, whose victory was a crushing blow to the Reds' title hopes.

Palace ended a miserable 13-match winless run against Liverpool with that surprise Anfield victory over the Easter period, and the Reds have only prevailed in two of their last five games against the Eagles, although one did come at Selhurst Park in the 2023-24 season.

Liverpool repeated that London trick in the earliest days of the 2024-25 campaign, where despite losing Alisson Becker to injury, they triumphed thanks to an even earlier Diogo Jota strike in a 1-0 success.

The two sides accepted a point apiece in both meetings during the 2022-23 campaign, prior to which Liverpool had overcome Palace 10 times in a row in the top flight, a sequence that includes their 7-0 mauling of Roy Hodgson's side at Selhurst Park in December 2020.

Palace's stadium has been a happy hunting ground for Liverpool in the Premier League era, as they have won eight and drawn one of their last nine top-flight matches at Selhurst Park, where they are undefeated since a 3-1 defeat in November 2014.

However, the ground was also the site of Luis Suarez's tearful outburst earlier that year, as Brendan Rodgers's Liverpool remarkably threw away a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Palace, a result that effectively handed Manchester City the title.

Nevertheless, Palace's 38 home goals conceded to Liverpool - and 69 overall - are their worst records against a single opponent in the Premier League, and Sadio Mane leads the way in terms of individual strikes against Palace with 10, but Mohamed Salah (eight) is not far behind.
