Crystal Palace and Liverpool Have Far More Than Three Points on the Line at Selhurst Park

The Reds are looking to halt the slide that knocked them out of the Champions League spots against a Palace side that has lost three straight and is fighting to climb out of the relegation zone.

It's rare to see a title contender as in need of points as Liverpool is right now. This Sunday, November 8, they visit Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park Stadium for matchday 10 of the 2026/2027 Premier League season, and there's a lot more riding on this one than meets the eye.

Kickoff is set for 11:00 AM (Argentina, Uruguay and Chile) and 9:00 AM (Ecuador, Colombia and Peru), with coverage for South America through Disney+'s Premium Plan.

Two Different Urgencies, One Shared Goal: Win

For Liverpool, this is no longer just about chasing the title. The 1-0 home loss to Arsenal dropped them out of the Champions League places, and they now sit just one point away from climbing back into that zone. So beyond still dreaming of the crown, the priority now is to stop the bleeding.

On the other side, Crystal Palace is going through a rough patch: they arrive at this match on a three game losing streak, the latest a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, which has dropped them squarely into the relegation zone with just seven points. For the Eagles, there's no room to think about anything other than picking up all three points.

The Names That Could Decide It

For the home side, everything runs through how Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada control the buildup, with Eddie Nketiah, Yeremi Pino and Dwight McNeil forming the front three tasked with hurting the visiting defense.

For Liverpool, all eyes are on Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola, an attacking trio coming off some shaky performances that needs to rediscover its scoring touch. To do that, they'll lean on the creativity of Alexis Mac Allister and youngster Trey Nyoni, who are tasked with supplying an attack that still hasn't fully clicked.

The most recent meeting between the two sides favors the Reds: in matchday 34 of last season, Liverpool won 3-1 at home with goals from Isak, Wirtz and Andy Robertson, while Daniel Munoz had pulled one back for Palace.

With a Liverpool side that can't afford another slip-up and a Crystal Palace team playing almost as if escaping relegation is mandatory, Selhurst Park promises a match with plenty at stake for both sides.
