Crystal Palace have conceded more Premier League goals against Liverpool than they have against any other opponent both overall (69) and at home (38). Indeed, the Reds are responsible for the Eagles’ two biggest home defeats in the competition’s history (6-1 in August 1994, 7-0 in December 2020).

Crystal Palace remain winless in their six Premier League games so far this season (D3 L3). Only in 1992-93 (8), 1994-95 (7), 2004-05 (7) and 2017-18 (7) have they gone longer without a win from the start of a top-flight campaign, being relegated at the end of the first three of those.

Mohamed Salah has scored in all three of Liverpool’s Premier League away games so far this season. There have been nine previous occasions of a player scoring in his side’s first four on the road in a single campaign – the Egyptian could be the first player to do so twice (also in 2021-22).
