The moment has finally come for Liverpool. Having secured the 2025 Premier League title four matches early, they are set to lift the trophy alongside their supporters for the first time in 35 years, marking the end of a remarkable season.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team wasn’t able to celebrate with their fans when they won the title in 2020. This Sunday, Liverpool will host Crystal Palace on the final day of the Premier League season, which offers a long-awaited opportunity to celebrate, though the recently crowned FA Cup winners know how to disrupt such celebrations.
The Reds will revel in their 20th domestic league title, matching Manchester United’s record in England, despite a shaky form since the title win: they fell to Chelsea (3-1), had a draw with Arsenal (2-2), and lost their most recent match to Brighton (3-2), thanks to a late goal from Jack Hinshelwood.
However, the joy of being crowned champions cannot be diminished, and Arne Slot’s squad is keen to conclude the season with a victory before they head off for a break.
On the other side, Crystal Palace is also enjoying a successful run. Managed by Oliver Glasner, they secured their first major trophy by defeating Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley. With a previous victory of 1-0 during their last trip to Anfield, they are aiming for another win in a matchup that will be repeated in August for the 2025/206 Community Shield.
Even with the recent setbacks post-title, Paddy Power still favors Liverpool for this matchup, with the odds for the champions at 4/11. Crystal Palace’s potential win sits at 5/1, while a draw is at 9/2.

Prediction, tips, and betting odds for Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace
Under 3.5 total goals in the match — 8/11 (Betfair)
While Liverpool leads the Premier League in goals scored (85 in 37 matches) and Crystal Palace netted four against Wolves in their last match, the recent encounters suggest a lower-scoring affair: three or fewer goals have been recorded in the last five matchups at Anfield. Liverpool won three of those (two by 2-0, one by 3-0), while they drew once (1-1), and Crystal Palace took victory in 2024 with a 1-0 scoreline.
Luiz Diaz to score anytime — (11/8, betway)
For Colombian forward Diaz, this Sunday is a double celebration. Not only does he secure his first Premier League title with Liverpool, but he also marks his best European campaign yet, finishing the 2024/25 season with 17 goals across competitions. A fan favorite, Diaz has been particularly effective at Anfield, scoring in his last three home games (against West Ham, Tottenham, and Arsenal), and he’s eager to add to his tally against Palace, a team he also netted against in the 2022/23 season.
