The only two unbeaten teams in the division clash just weeks after their Community Shield showdown
Crystal Palace host leaders Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend.
The showdown in south London is actually a meeting of the two teams still unbeaten in the Premier League after five games played so far this season.
Liverpool currently lead the way having picked up maximum points and may be seeking revenge against Palace for the Community Shield loss on penalties at Wembley Stadium six weeks ago.
That remains the only fixture Arne Slot’s side have failed to win in any competition this season, but they will come up against a Palace side who have become very hard to beat under Oliver Glasner.
With both teams in European action next week, one unbeaten run could fall as this fixture tends to provide a winner.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday, September 27, 2025.
The match will take place at Selhurst Park.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will not be televised live as it lands during the 3pm Saturday blackout.

The Eagles are sweating on the fitness of summer signing Yeremy Pino after he was withdrawn at half-time against West Ham complaining of pain in his knee.
Glasner confirmed Pino was set to be assessed but hoped the issue wasn’t too serious.
Elsewhere, Ismaila Sarr is in contention to return from injury while Adam Wharton should be able to keep his place in midfield and captain Marc Guehi is expected to start against the club he almost joined in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool will be without Hugo Ekitike for the trip to south London because the Frenchman is suspended after being sent-off for two bookable offences in the Carabao Cup win over Southampton in midweek.
As a result, Alexander Isak is likely to lead the line unless Arne Slot opts for Cody Gakpo through the middle with Florian Wirtz out wide.
Captain Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Alisson Becker and Mohamed Salah are among the Liverpool players set for a recall after being rested for the cup tie, but Giovanni Leoni will miss out through injury.
Liverpool haven’t been at their best so far this season and their 100 percent winning record is certainly under threat against a Palace side who are unbeaten in their last 17 games across all competitions.
This run from the Eagles includes results against Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal.
However, all good things eventually come to an end. The Reds have developed a knack of grinding out results and we think that will continue at Selhurst Park.
Liverpool to win, 2-1.
Crystal Palace are unbeaten in the last two meetings against Liverpool - including the Community Shield victory last month - but haven’t beaten the Merseyside giants at home since November 2014.
Crystal Palace wins: 16
