Crystal Palace Liverpooled Liverpool

After Matchday 6, there is only one remaining undefeated team in the Premier League. This was a likely result, as the last two teams without losses played each other (sure, it could’ve ended in a draw, but for this exercise I’m going to ignore that). Liverpool, winners of ridiculous matches courtesy of late winners, had been not just undefeated but perfect heading into its Saturday showdown at Selhurst Park with Crystal Palace, the most recent team to beat Liverpool, doing so in the Community Shield back in August. Palace hadn’t been perfect at all; through its first five league matches, it had drawn three times, and not against top competition (Chelsea, sure, but also messy Nottingham Forest and newly promoted Sunderland). After 90 minutes in South London, though, the only team to still not taste Premier League defeat is Crystal Palace, and though Liverpool almost loaded up some of its 2025-26 magic to salvage a point, this was a well-deserved victory for the Premier League’s sole remaining Invincible.
