Liverpool face Crystal Palace later today, with the Reds needing a victory to return to the top of the Premier League. The last time the sides met Liverpool won 2 -1, but who has the better head-to-head record?
Crystal Palace are the visitors to Anfield later today, as the Reds go in search of another victory to take them back to the top of the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp will know that his team will have to perform better than they did on Thursday when Atalanta secured a shock 3 – 0 victory in the first leg of the Europa League Quarter-Finals.
Liverpool have already beaten Crystal Palace in the league this season, although they needed a stoppage-time winner from Harvey Elliott to secure a dramatic 2 – 1 victory when the teams met at Selhurst Park in December 2023.
In total, the two sides have played 62 matches, with the first way back in January 1938, in the FA Cup. The first league meeting didn’t happen until August 1967, when Liverpool were 3 – 1 winners at Selhurst Park. The first league meeting between the two sides at Anfield was in April 1970, with Liverpool winning 3 – 0, thanks to goals from Bobby Graham (2) and Chris Lawler.
More recently, Liverpool have won three of the last 5 games between the two sides, with two draws, while Crystal Palace has not beaten the Reds since April 2017.
The biggest win belongs to Liverpool, with the Reds hammering Palace 9 – 0 in 1989, 7 – 0 in 2020, and 6 – 1 in 1994. How Klopp and the Liverpool fans would love a repeat of such a scoreline this afternoon.
There have been a total of 62 matches between the two sides, with 47 of those in the league.
