Kick-off time and key broadcast details
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace takes place at Anfield on Saturday, April 25, with a Liverpool Palace kick off time of 3:00 p.m. local. That translates to 10:00 a.m. Eastern, 9:00 a.m. Central, 8:00 a.m. Mountain and 7:00 a.m. Pacific in North America. In the UK, the match falls under the traditional Saturday 3:00 p.m. blackout, so there is no live Premier League TV channel coverage or domestic Premier League live stream. Fans outside the UK have more options. In the United States, the match is scheduled on NBCSN with a simultaneous stream on Peacock. Selected broadcasters in other territories carry the game on their Premier League packages, so always check local listings or the official club and league websites for final confirmation before kick-off.

Form guide, line-up news and what is at stake
Liverpool enter this clash under pressure but with momentum after a dramatic 2-1 win over Everton, sealed by a Mohamed Salah opener and a 100th-minute Virgil van Dijk winner in the Merseyside derby. Arne Slot’s side sit fifth, just behind fourth place, and another victory would strengthen their Champions League push after a rocky spell that included four defeats in six across all competitions. Palace, coached by Oliver Glasner, arrive in mixed domestic form but high on confidence from reaching the Conference League semi-finals by beating Fiorentina 4-2 on aggregate. They have already beaten Liverpool three times this season in the Community Shield, the reverse league fixture and an EFL Cup tie, and currently sit 13th yet within striking distance of the top six. For Liverpool, the stakes are Champions League qualification; for Palace, it is a potential surge back into European competition.
Tactical talking points and key match-ups to watch
On the pitch, expect Liverpool to dominate possession and territory, using quick passing and high pressing to pin Palace back. The hosts will try to stretch the visiting back line with width and diagonal balls, creating space for Salah and other forwards to attack the inside channels while van Dijk anchors from the back. Palace’s recent success in this fixture has been built on a compact defensive block, sharp counter-attacks and set-piece threat. Their wide players will look to exploit the space behind Liverpool’s advanced full-backs, while their forwards press selective triggers to disrupt Liverpool’s build-up. Individual matchups such as Liverpool’s wide attackers against Palace’s full-backs, and van Dijk’s aerial duels against Palace’s target men, could decide the tone. If Liverpool move the ball quickly and avoid cheap turnovers, they can break Palace’s resistance; if not, the visitors are dangerous on the break.
