Crystal Palace have failed to win in their opening six Premier League games this season and the Eagles have only managed a worse start in 92/93, 94/95, 04/05 and 17/18 – being relegated in the first three.

The Eagles have picked up just three points from their opening six Premier League matches (3D & 3L), meaning they sit 18th ahead of GW7.

Oliver Glasner lost key players in the summer transfer window, including Michael Olise and Joachim Andersen – with their replacements struggling to fill the hole.

So far, the Eagles have picked up draws against Manchester United, Chelsea and Leicester – leaving them as one of the favourites to be relegated on UK betting sites.

However, Glasner’s side have suffered defeats to Everton, West Ham and Brentford – losing the opening two games against London-based clubs.

When looking at previous seasons for Crystal Palace, they have only recorded a worse start in four other seasons in the Premier League.

Unfortunately for Palace fans, they have been relegated from the top division on three of these four occasions – which does not bode well for this season.

Securing their first three points of the season will not be a simple task, as they welcome table-topping Liverpool to Selhurst Park.

The Reds have made a strong start to their new era under Arne Slot, winning 5 out of 6 Premier League games and boasting a faultless record in the Champions League so far.
