Liverpool have won only two of their last seven meetings with Crystal Palace, but their recent record at Selhurst is near-impeccable, unbeaten in 11 visits, winning ten of them, the Eagles' most-recent home win over the Reds coming in 2014, six months after Crystanbul.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool preview
Only two unbeaten teams remain in the Premier League, and they'll go head-to-head at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, so will either undefeated record come to an end? Liverpool have won all seven matches they've played in all competitions this season, since being defeated on penalties by Crystal Palace in August's FA Community Shield. Last weekend, the Reds beat Everton 2-1 at Anfield in the Merseyside derby, thanks to early goals from Ryan Gravenberch and then Hugo Ekitiké.
This is the only time Arne Slot's side have not required a winner in the 83rd minute or later, continuing this trend in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, with Ekitiké snatching a 2-1 victory against Southampton with only five minutes to play. Their reward? A fourth round tie against Palace next month.
Back in the Premier League, the champions already find themselves five points clear, but this is the start of a challenging period. After this, their next six fixtures are Chelsea (A), Man United (H), Brentford (A), Aston Villa (H), Man City (A) and then Nottingham Forest (H) so, if Slot's team manage to come through that unscathed, we might as well arrange their coronation for late-November.
So, having already fought back from behind twice to beat Liverpool on penalties at Wembley, can Crystal Palace end the Reds' perfect start. Well, Oliver Glasner's side themselves are currently enjoying a 17-match unbeaten streak in all competition, dating back to April, with the Eagles most-recently beating West Ham 2-1, thanks to goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell.
This is only Palace's second league win of the season, but they've also ousted fierce rivals Millwall from the EFL Cup, and booked their place in the Conference League, commencing their league phase campaign against Dynamo Kyiv in Lublin next Thursday. Thus, there is so much hope and excitement in South London just now, so can this team become the first to defeat Liverpool this season?

Crystal Palace team news
Unlike his opposite number, Oliver Glasner has had a week to prepare for this clash, and there is hope that attackers Yéremy Pino and Ismaïla Sarr will be fit, after suffering recent knocks.
Similarly, Eddie Nketiah made his first appearance of the season last weekend following a hamstring injury, adding vital depth ahead of the start of their Conference League campaign next week.
In further good news, Adam Wharton started at the London Stadium, having sat out the previous two matches due to an adductor issue, so will partner Will Hughes in midfield.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (3-4-3): Henderson; Richards, Guéhi, Lacroix; Muñoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Yéremy, Sarr, Mateta.

Jean-Philippe Mateta's opener at West Ham was his 21st goal since the start of last season, including netting against Liverpool in the Community Shield, so could the Frenchman be the hero at Selhurst?
Liverpool team news
Hugo Ekitiké is suspended, earning himself a ban in bizzare fashion, sent off by referee Thomas Bramall for taking his shirt off after scoring the winner on Tuesday, shown a second yellow card.
Thus, the most-expensive player in British football history Alexander Isak will start for Liverpool in the Premier League for the first time; he's not a bad alternative options is he?
Speaking of players who cost £100m+, Florian Wirtz was also on the bench for the Merseyside derby, so will Arne Slot bring the German back into the team, or stick with a more workmanlike trio?
In defence, making his debut for the club, teenager Giovanni Leoni ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament against Southampton, so is set for around a year on the sidelines. Lastly, Conor Bradley is set to get the nod over Jeremie Frimpong at right-back once again.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace: (4-3-3): Alisson; Bradley, Konaté, van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Isak, Gakpo.
Liverpool player to watch vs Crystal Palace
All eyes on Alexander Isak, who opened his Liverpool account in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, and scored the last time Crystal Palace suffered a defeat in any competition, this a 5-0 victory for Newcastle at St James' in April, so can he end the Eagles' streak on Saturday?
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool prediction
We are backing Liverpool to leave South London with their perfect record in tact, and it would be no surprise if Arne Slot's side left it late to win again would it: Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool.
