Two champions face off again in the Premier League

Liverpool, the reigning champions, visit Crystal Palace on Saturday in a tough clash as part of Matchday 6 of the English Premier League.

The Reds have kicked off their new season in strong fashion, winning seven consecutive matches across all competitions. However, they face a stern test in London before traveling to Istanbul on Tuesday to take on Galatasaray in the second round of the UEFA Champions League.

Liverpool currently lead the table by five points after five straight league wins, making them the only side yet to drop points. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, sit fifth with nine.

The FA Cup holders are also the only Premier League team alongside Liverpool still unbeaten this season. They head into this fixture full of confidence after beating Arne Slot’s men on penalties in the Community Shield curtain-raiser at Wembley back in August.

Palace also managed to hold Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Anfield on the final day of last season, a result that extended their ongoing 16-match unbeaten streak across all competitions—a run that began in April of this year.

Here are the key stats that could help you predict the right outcome and win big with Betway:

Crystal Palace have won just one of their last 16 Premier League matches against Liverpool (D3, L12)—a 1-0 victory at Anfield in April 2024.
Palace have not scored more than one goal in any of their last 12 league encounters with Liverpool (six goals total).
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League away games against Palace (W9, D1)—their longest ongoing unbeaten away run against any opponent in the competition.
Palace are unbeaten in their first five games of a top-flight campaign for the first time since 1990-91 (when they went 10 games unbeaten and finished third—their highest-ever league finish).
Liverpool are looking to win their first six league matches for the fifth time. Only two reigning Premier League champions—Chelsea (2005-06) and Manchester City (2023-24)—have started a season with six wins, and both went on to retain their titles.
Palace are unbeaten in their last 11 Premier League games (W4, D7)—the longest current run of any side. They are aiming to stretch that to 12 for only the second time in their history, after doing so between May and October 1990.
Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored 29 goals in 55 league games for Palace under Oliver Glasner guidance. In Glasner’s managerial career across the Austrian Bundesliga, Bundesliga, and Premier League, only Wout Weghorst (36 in 66) has scored more under his leadership.
Since the start of last season, Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has contributed to 51 league goals (31 goals, 20 assists)—20 more than any other player. His total of 274 goal involvements for Liverpool (186 goals, 88 assists) leaves him just two shy of equaling the all-time Premier League record for a single club: Wayne Rooney’s 276 (183 goals, 93 assists) for Manchester United.

Liverpool’s unbeaten streak and Palace’s impressive run make this clash one of the hardest to call—and that’s exactly why fans in Qatar turn to Betway, the best online betting site, for smarter picks.
