Liverpool endured a week to forget as they suffered their first home loss in the Premier League since October 2022, falling to Crystal Palace on Sunday. The defeat marks Liverpool's first consecutive home losses at Anfield since 2021 and their first back-to-back defeats in all competitions since April 2023.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, ended a 13-game winless run against Liverpool in the Premier League, securing their first league victory over the Reds since April 2017. The Eagles have now won their last four league matches against Liverpool at Anfield.
Liverpool's defeat at Anfield against Crystal Palace was their first in the Premier League since October 2022, ending a 28-game unbeaten run at home in the league. Additionally, Liverpool has conceded the opening goal in four of their last five home league games, highlighting a defensive vulnerability.
The match also saw a standout performance from Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, who scored his 22nd Premier League goal for the club, moving him joint-fifth for the club all-time in the competition.
Despite Liverpool's dominance in expected goals (xG) with a total of 2.87, their most on record in a Premier League match without scoring, they were unable to find the back of the net. This marked the most xG without scoring by any side in the competition since Brighton vs Norwich in April 2022.
The defeat raises questions about Liverpool's form and their ability to maintain their title challenge in the Premier League.
