Mateta's ban leaves Palace short of attacking numbers. They have scored in only one of their last five league games, the 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest on October 11, and all three of their goals in the span came in that game.

Liverpool have the clearer route to the first goal. Palace conceded in the third minute against Forest and three times inside the first 10 minutes at Brighton, one of them an own goal by Jaydee Canvot, so a quick Liverpool start could put Pierre Sage's side behind again.

Palace's route to a result runs through Liverpool's finishing. Liverpool had 17 shots to Arsenal's 10 on November 1 and none hit the target, and Palace beat Forest with 43.4% of the ball. If Palace stay level through the opening 20 minutes, the game turns on whether Liverpool can convert control into shots on target.

What is the latest Palace team news?

Sage used a 3-4-2-1 at Tottenham on October 31, with Dean Henderson in goal, Óscar Mingueza and Tyrick Mitchell as wing-backs and Mateta up front. Mateta was sent off after 13 minutes for a studs-up tackle on Micky van de Ven, and Sky Sports reported that the three-match ban covers Liverpool, Coventry City and Hull City. Eddie Nketiah, who came on at Tottenham, is among the candidates to lead the line.

Ismaïla Sarr (groin) is likely to stay out until after the November international break, Sage said on October 29. Chadi Riad (knee) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (calf) are also out, while Jørgen Strand Larsen (ankle) and Quinten Timber (thigh) are doubts.

Palace host Hoffenheim in the Europa League on Thursday, November 5, just under three days before this game. Sage is under pressure after the Tottenham loss, Palace's third in a row in the league.

What is the latest Liverpool team news?

Andoni Iraola started a 4-2-3-1 against Arsenal, with Florian Wirtz at No. 10 behind Isak and Trey Nyoni and Alexis Mac Allister in midfield. Dominik Szoboszlai and Víctor Muñoz both came off the bench, their first appearances since the October 17 win at Brentford.

Jeremie Frimpong (muscle), Hugo Ekitike (Achilles), Conor Bradley (knee) and Giovanni Leoni (knee) are out. Iraola said a Frimpong return before the November international break would be difficult.

Liverpool visit Fenerbahçe in the Champions League on Wednesday, November 4, just under four days before they travel to face Palace.

What could decide Palace vs Liverpool?

Palace were shut out in each of their last three league games, and Liverpool were shut out by Arsenal on November 1. The side that scores first can change how the other has to play.

Can Palace score without Mateta?

Palace put 17 shots on target in their last five league games and faced 28. Their three goals against Forest came from midfield and the attacking line: Daichi Kamada, Jefferson Lerma and Yéremy Pino. If those runners support Nketiah in the same way, Palace do not need a striker to score every goal.

Is Palace's problem the first 10 minutes or the whole game?

Four of the ten goals Palace conceded came in the first 10 minutes, at Forest and Brighton. The other six arrived from the 25th minute on, including both at Tottenham after Mateta's red card and two in the second half against Newcastle United. Liverpool scored twice by the 21st minute at Brighton, but three of their five league goals in the span came between the 57th and 70th minutes.

Can Liverpool turn control into shots on target?

Liverpool had 76 shots in their last five league games and 18 of them were on target. ESPN's match report put Liverpool's lack of reward against Arsenal down to poor judgment and execution as well as bad luck, and noted that a tug on Isak's shirt went unpunished. Iraola said his team were denied a clear penalty. Palace have faced 98 shots in the same span, so chances are likely to come.

Can Palace punish Alisson Becker's passing?

ESPN's report said Alisson got away with loose passes against Brighton on October 25, then gave Arsenal the goal when his pass to Jacquet was intercepted. Palace averaged 41.8% possession across their last five league games and are likely to see the ball in short spells. A press on Liverpool's buildup is one of the few repeatable ways to win it high up the pitch.

How will midweek European games shape both selections?

Both managers pick for two games in four days. Sage made ten changes for the Carabao Cup win at Fulham on October 28, and Palace's absences narrow his options for Thursday and Sunday. Iraola faces the same call on how to use Szoboszlai and Muñoz, who are back from injury, after the trip to Istanbul.

What is the Palace vs Liverpool head-to-head?

Liverpool won the most recent meeting 3-1 on April 25, 2026, with Isak, Andrew Robertson and Florian Wirtz scoring and Daniel Muñoz replying for Palace. Palace won the two meetings before that in 2025-26: 2-1 in the Premier League on September 27, 2025, and 3-0 at Anfield in the League Cup in October, when Liverpool made ten changes.

Oliver Glasner and Arne Slot were the managers for Palace's two wins. Sage and Iraola are in charge now.
