How the model rates them now
Attack and defence are multipliers on an average side: above 1.00 in attack means the club scores more than the average team in its competition, and below 1.00 in defence means it concedes fewer. The methodology sets out how they are derived, including where the model is known to be wrong.
| Club | Attack | Defence |
|---|---|---|
| Crystal Palace | 0.93 | 1.18 |
| Liverpool | 1.28 | 0.83 |

The two sides
Crystal Palace carry a model rating of 6.73 against 7.07 for Liverpool. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 1.24 goals for Crystal Palace and 2.09 for Liverpool. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Crystal Palace rate 0.93 in attack and 1.18 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Liverpool rate 1.28 and 0.83.
The rest of the season
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Crystal Palace a 0% chance of the title and Liverpool 1.1%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 2,299 correct results out of 4,800 settled predictions (48%), with 474 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.
Full method: how the model works.
Once the match starts, the win probabilities at the top update live from the score, the clock and any sendings-off.
Team comparison
Bars show each side's share of the two-team total, based on the model's attack/defence ratings and expected goals for this fixture.
Why the model favours this side
The model gives Liverpool the highest probability at 52%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.24 expected goals for Crystal Palace against 2.09 for Liverpool. Crystal Palace's attack/defence rating is 0.93/1.18 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.28/0.83 for Liverpool.
How the model reaches 52% for Liverpool to win
Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Liverpool to win. Then home advantage takes away 3 points, Crystal Palace's ratings add 7 points and Liverpool's ratings add 12 points, which lands on the published 52%.

Position by match
Crystal PalaceLiverpool
Crystal Palace are 16th after 7 Premier League matches (between 12th and 20th so far); Liverpool are 5th after 7 (between 5th and 10th). Rebuilt from the season's results after each side's matches (x-axis: that side's match number); ties split on goal difference, then goals scored.
Goals scored and conceded, by minute
All Premier League matches this season: Crystal Palace 7, Liverpool 7.
Crystal Palace score most often in the 31–45 minute window (3 goals); Liverpool have let in 1 there.
Liverpool score most often in the 46–60 minute window (3 goals); Crystal Palace have let in 5 there.
Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window. Each side's goals sit above the goals its opponent has let in over the same minutes; the darker the cell, the more goals in that window. Stoppage time counts in the last window of its half. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it. Context, not a prediction.

Each side's next matches on our board after this one. The colour is how strong the opponent is, from easier to harder as on the scale above: its model rating ranked among the teams of that competition, in fifths, so bright red is the top fifth whoever is playing it. The win figure is this side's own chance in that match, which is where venue and its own level come in. A match already on our board links to its own prediction; the rest follow as their week comes up.
