Here are 15 pre-match facts and figures to know, courtesy of Opta and LFC statistician Ged Rea...

Liverpool have lost just one of their last 15 Premier League games against Palace (won 12, drew two), though that defeat was in this exact fixture last season.

Palace’s last four Premier League wins against the Reds have come at Anfield, including last season’s 1-0 victory.

Oliver Glasner could become the fourth visiting manager to win his first two Premier League games at Anfield, after George Burley, Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal.

When finishing the season at home, the Premier League champions have won their final match on 13 out of the last 14 occasions. The only exception was Manchester United losing against West Ham United in 2006-07.

Liverpool haven’t lost their final league game of the season since 2014-15 (won seven, drew two) when they were beaten 6-1 at Stoke City. When finishing the campaign at home, the Reds are unbeaten in 17 (won 15, drew two) since losing 2-0 against Arsenal in 1988-89.

Liverpool have scored two or more goals in a Premier League-record 31 games this season. In top-flight history, only Manchester United in 1956-57 and Tottenham Hotspur in 1960-61 have netted multiple goals in more games in a single campaign (32 games each).

Since confirming the title in April with their win over Tottenham, Liverpool have failed to win all three of their Premier League games (drew one, lost two). The Reds last went four without winning in the competition in April 2023, while in top-flight history, only four sides have won the title despite not winning any of their last four games that campaign: Burnley in 1920-21 and Liverpool in both 1976-77 and 1982-83.

Luis Diaz has either scored (four) or assisted (three) a goal in each of his last seven Premier League appearances at Anfield. Overall, only Mohamed Salah (19) has been involved in more home league goals for Liverpool this season than the Colombian (11 – seven goals, four assists).

With 46 goal involvements (28 goals, 18 assists) in 2024-25, Salah is one short of the all-time Premier League seasonal record of 47, jointly held by Andrew Cole (1993-94) and Alan Shearer (1994-95).

Palace’s midweek win against Wolverhampton Wanderers saw them reach 52 points for the season. When converting to three points for a win, they’ve only recorded more in a top-flight campaign twice before, in 1990-91 (69) and 1991-92 (57).

A win would see Arne Slot achieve the highest win percentage of any Liverpool boss in a first full season in charge since 1894. He currently has a win percentage of 69.09.

Liverpool and Palace have met once before in the final game of a campaign with the Reds winning 2-0 at Anfield in 2021, with both goals coming from Sadio Mane.

Diogo Jota could become the first Liverpool player since Mane in 2017-18 to score the club’s first and last goals of a season.

Salah is on course to start every game of a league campaign for the Reds for the first time in his career. He could also become the only Liverpool player to start 50 games this season in all competitions.

On Sunday, it will have been 12,808 days since Liverpool were last presented with the league title in front of fans (35 years and 24 days).
