Two teams that are equally unbeaten in the 2025/26 Premier League will face each other this weekend. Crystal Palace and Liverpool, who also recently clashed at Community Shield, met again at Selhurst Park on Saturday night September 227 with their respective impressive records.

Palace appeared consistent under Oliver Glasner's direction. Last week's 2-1 win over West Ham extended their unbeaten streak to 11 consecutive league games. Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell were decisive, while Jarrod Bowen's goal disrupted the Eagles' defense for only two times in the league so far.

The record makes Palace optimistic looking at this duel. Last season they lifted the FA Cup trophy, and are now also ready to make their debut in Europe through the match against Dynamo Kiev at the UEFA Conference League next week. But before that, a big test awaits the reigning champions.

Arne Slot's Liverpool came with seven consecutive wins in all competitions. After beating Everton 2-1 at the Merseyside derby, the Reds also eliminated Southampton at the EFL Cup with the same score. Hugo Ekitike became the hero with the decisive goal, even though the red card was ridiculous because the celebration of taking off his shirt made him miss this match.

Although their performance has not been fully convincing, Liverpool are already five points ahead at the top of the standings and have the opportunity to open the season with six consecutive league wins for the fifth time in history. Their away record to Selhurst Park is also brilliant: nine wins and one draw from the last 10 visits. However, Palace had confidence after beating Liverpool on penalties at Community Shield last August.

Crystal Palace can breathe a sigh of relief because Yeremy Pino and Ismaila Sarr have returned to training after injuries to their knees and thighs. However, they are still without five players: Cheick Doucoure, Chadi Riad, Walter Benitez, Odsonne Edouard, and Caleb Kporah.

From the Liverpool side, Ekitike had to undergo a one-match suspension. Alexander Isak is predicted to be a starter for the first time in the Premier League with the Reds. One bad news came from young defender Giovanni Leoni who was confirmed to be out of action due to an ACL injury. The rest, Slot was able to field the best squad with multiple rotations, including Florian Wirtz's chances of returning to the starting XI after sitting on the bench at the Merseyside derby.

Palace is known to be solid and difficult to penetrate this season, while Liverpool are still looking for a truly convincing victory. With the history of the last meeting at Community Shield and the impressive defensive record of the Eagles, this match has the potential to end in a draw and stop the league's perfect record Reds.

Estimated Line-up of Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Guehi, Richards, Lacroix; Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Sarr, Pino; Mateta.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak.
