Two tables below compile the key metrics from the season and the full historical record.

Have Liverpool ever beaten Crystal Palace?

The short answer is a resounding yes — Liverpool have beaten Crystal Palace in the vast majority of their encounters across all competitions. The two clubs have met 69 times in their history, with Liverpool winning 37 of those fixtures compared to Palace’s 18 victories, according to Sports Mole head-to-head data. The remaining 14 meetings ended in draws. That record makes for grim reading if you’re a Palace supporter, though there have been notable moments that bucked the trend.

Historical Wins

Liverpool’s first meeting with Crystal Palace came in the 1937-38 FA Cup third-round tie, which Liverpool won after a replay — setting the tone for what would become a lopsided rivalry. The most notorious result arrived in 1989 when Liverpool thrashed Palace 9-0, a scoreline that still stands as one of the most emphatic victories in Premier League history.

Perhaps more surprisingly, Palace have managed to spoil Liverpool’s ambitions on key occasions. In April 2024, Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool 1-0 with a goal from Eberechi Eze — a result that dealt a significant blow to Liverpool’s title hopes at the time. Roy Hodgson, then Palace manager, oversaw another memorable day when Liverpool beat Palace 7-0 at Selhurst Park in December 2020.

Notable Matches

Several other results stand out in this fixture’s history. Liverpool won 10 consecutive top-flight matches against Crystal Palace prior to the 2022-23 campaign, demonstrating sustained dominance. The 2022-23 season saw both meetings end in draws, offering Palace rare respite. More recent encounters include a 4-3 thriller on January 19, 2019, and a 3-1 Liverpool victory on January 23, 2022.

Liverpool FC vs Crystal Palace FC Standings Today

Heading into the April 25, 2026 meeting at Anfield, the two clubs find themselves in markedly different positions in the Premier League table. Liverpool currently rank 5th in the standings with 55 points from 33 matches, according to SofaScore current standings. Crystal Palace hold 13th position, comfortably clear of the relegation zone but with little to play for in terms of European ambitions.

Premier League Table Positions

The 8-place gap between the two sides tells the story of their respective campaigns. Liverpool, under pressure to secure a Champions League berth, have accumulated 55 points through a campaign of inconsistent but often brilliant football. Palace, by contrast, have meandered through the season — neither threatening the top half nor facing genuine relegation fears.

Points and Matches Played

At 33 matches played, Liverpool have one fixture remaining after the Palace clash. The significance of that final match depends heavily on results elsewhere, but a victory against Palace would be essential for any top-4 ambitions. Palace, with 13th place essentially confirmed, appear to be playing out the string with little competitive pressure.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Last 5 Matches

Looking at the most recent encounters provides crucial context for the April 25 meeting. The two clubs have played one Premier League match against each other this season, with results swinging dramatically in recent years.

Recent Results

Key Scores

The pattern emerging from recent fixtures suggests Palace have become increasingly competitive against Liverpool. Where Liverpool once dominated this fixture with near impunity, Palace now enter each meeting with genuine belief. The 7-0 thrashing Palace suffered in December 2020 remains an outlier rather than the norm in recent seasons.

Beyond the headline results, examining the full breadth of meetings between these clubs reveals patterns in home versus away performance and overall competitive balance.

All-Time H2H

Across all 69 recorded meetings, Liverpool have established clear supremacy with 37 wins against Palace’s 18, per Sports Mole historical data. The 14 draws represent relatively rare outcomes in what has typically been a fixture with decisive results. FootyStats data on recent meetings shows Liverpool winning 17 of their last 29 encounters, with Palace winning 7 and 5 draws — still Liverpool-favoured but somewhat less lopsided than the all-time record.

Anfield has generally been a fortress against Palace, though recent seasons have seen that advantage diminish. The April 25 meeting at Anfield gives Liverpool the home advantage they desperately need for their Champions League push, but the form guide suggests Palace will not arrive as passive opponents.

The head-to-head standings between these two clubs provide the definitive statistical record of their rivalry, though different trackers report slightly varying figures depending on which matches they include.

Win Records

According to the most comprehensive tracker covering all 69 meetings, Liverpool have won 37 times, Crystal Palace 18 times, with 14 draws. However, alternative sources show different figures. According to FotMob alternate H2H record, Liverpool have 18 wins, Palace 7 wins, and 5 draws in their tracked record. The discrepancy likely reflects different time periods or competitions included.
