Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

14:44

Liverpool complete a late second-half turnaround to take all three points from Selhurst Park, with goals, cards and VAR drama making for one hell of a spectacle! Awarded a penalty by VAR's intervention some two minutes after the initial challenge, Palace took full advantage as Mateta slotted home the opener. With Liverpool still being restricted to half-chances, Palace looked to be heading for a historic victory, but all that changes 15 minutes from time when Ayew's needless challenge yielded his second yellow card. The Eagles didn't even get chance to organise themselves when down to 10 men, as Salah struck home the equaliser from close range less than 100 seconds later, netting his 200th goal for Liverpool in the process. From there, the Reds laid siege to Palace's box, and hit the jackpot a minute into the 10 added on for stoppages. Harvey Elliott cruised through the middle to curl in a sumptuous winner, and despite a late chance for Andersen and flurry of yellow cards for both sides, Liverpool held on to secure a comeback victory which sends them to the summit of the Premier League table.

Jurgen Klopp has won 12 of his 16 Premier League meetings with Crystal Palace, his joint-most against any side in the competition. In his managerial career, only against Freiburg (13) has he won more league games, and that record is just seconds away from being matched!

Yellow Card Joseph Dave Gomez

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

14:30

BALL IN THE NET!!! Liverpool are denied a third!! Elliott slips a lovely throughball in behind the defence, and Diaz bursts onto it to scoop the ball over Matthews and into the back of the net! He's always offside from the initial pass though, and the flag is raised accordingly to rule it out!

14:25

Diaz is giving chase to Elliott's looping ball into the six-yard box, but Matthews climbs higher to pluck the ball out of the air.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

14:23

Goal Harvey Daniel James Elliott

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

14:22

Palace boss Hodgson has lost each of his last eight Premier League games against former club Liverpool, since a 1-0 win with West Brom in April 2012. Indeed, managers to have previously taken charge of Liverpool in the Premier League have lost 17 of their last 19 games against the Reds in the competition, the exceptions being two Brendan Rodgers wins with Leicester in 2021.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

14:18

The Reds are now threatening to open Palace up at any and every opportunity, but Clyne recovers well to close the space on Gomez and put his low cross behind for a corner.

Elliott tees up a Gomez cross from the right-hand byline, which dips awkwardly at the far post before being pawed away from danger by Johnstone!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

14:15

Substitution Jeffrey Schlupp Naouirou Mohamed Ahamada

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

14:15

Salah's goal was his 200th for Liverpool in all competitions, becoming just the fifth player in the club's history to reach that landmark. The equaliser came just 98 seconds after Ayew's red card. Costly.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

14:08

CHANCE!!! Alexander-Arnold's free-kick sails towards the far post, but Nunez tries a volley rather than heading the ball and gets it all wrong as the ball bounces behind!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:56

Yellow Card Jefferson Andrés Lerma Solís

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:52

PENALTY!!! What's happened here then? VAR has advised the referee to take a second look at Quansah's previous challenge on Mateta in the box, and replays show that there is indeed contact! Even though that passage of play occurred several minutes ago, the referee points to the spot and Palace have a chance to open the scoring from 12 yards here!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:51

Mateta looks to get on the end of Hughes' cross at the near post, but Quansah gets across him first and flicks the ball away from danger.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:51

Yellow Card Jordan Pierre Ayew

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:44

WIDE!!! Diaz cuts inside off the left and curls a shot towards the far corner. Nunez gets a slight flick on the ball as it whistles past the post, but does so from an offside position and the flag goes up!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:43

Palace's first free-kick of the half causes trouble for Liverpool as Ward knocks the ball back into the box, but Van Dijk nods it clear ahead of Guehi.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:41

Hughes will get the second half underway at Selhurst Park, as the Eagles have us back up and running..

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:36

Substitution Wataru Endo Joseph Dave Gomez

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:36

Substitution Odsonne Édouard Jean-Philippe Mateta

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:36

Only a miraculous Alisson save prevented him scoring the opener, but Jefferson Lerma has been impressive regardless in Palace's midfield. His goalbound shot had 0.5 xG behind it, and the Colombian has also completed more touches and passes than any other Palace player, completing nine balls into the final third. Lerma has also come up with possession a game-high six times, winning three of four duels, one tackle and one free-kick apiece. Engine.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:30

It's goalless at the break in south London, with Liverpool yet to really find their rhythm and the hosts going closest to an opener so far. The Reds controlled much of the ball in the opening 25 minutes or so, but couldn't create anything in the final third thanks to staunch, organised Palace defence. The Eagles flew up the other end and had the only real guilt-edge chance of the game moments later, with Alisson recovering well to deny Lerma with a double save. VAR intervened to deny Palace a penalty after Van Dijk took Edouard to ground, with an earlier foul from Hughes on Endo giving Liverpool an almighty let-off. Klopp's side did build some impetus towwards the back end of the half with Salah and Szoboszlai having shots blocked, but this is still anyone's game with the second half coming up.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:25

HALF-TIME: CRYSTAL PALACE 0-0 LIVERPOOL.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:24

Liverpool are keeping possession well in Palace's half and Alexander-Arnold tries a scooped pass wide to Van Dijk, but it's several yards behind the centre-back and rolls over the touchline to the home crowd's delight.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:23

BLOCKED!!! Alexander-Arnold's cut-back for Salah is struck first-time by the Egyptian, but hits a Palace defender. The rebound comes out to Szoboszlai on the edge of the box, but Hughes gets in the way of his effort to put the ball behind for a corner!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:21

We're into five additional minutes at the end of this fiery first half at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:21

Diaz bursts past Ward on the inside and looks to combine with Gravenberch and Nunez in the middle, but the latter's final ball doesn't stick and Ayew gets back to recover possession for Palace.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:19

Tsimikas and Nunez come forward for Liverpool and the Uruguayan drifts inside before teeing up Endo, but Schlupp's intervention sends the ball behind for a corner before the midfielder can pick out a shot or pass.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:18

Hughes and Endo collide in midfield once again, but this time the Palace midfielder is penalised immediately on the halfway line.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:16

Since the start of October, no side have won fewer Premier League games than Palace (one), while only Sheffield United (six) have scored fewer goals than the Eagles' seven.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:12

Another Ward free-kick sails into the box, but a mix-up between Alisson and Van Dijk sees both players go for the ball, with the latter sending a header spiralling into the air before it's collected by his goalkeeper!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:11

Play halts momentarily as an injury to Edouard is assessed, and Palace's French striker is taken off the pitch for now, but you'd imagine he'll be able to continue.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:10

Since the start of last season, Liverpool have won just one of their seven Premier League away games kicking off at 12:30pm on a Saturday, beating Wolves 3-1 in September. Of all the kick-off times the Reds have played 10+ games under Klopp in the league, their lowest points-per-game average is at 12:30 (1.76).

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:08

Yellow Card Joel Edward Philip Ward

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:08

NO PENALTY!!! Hughes does get into quite the tangle with Endo on the edge of Liverpool's box, and the contact is enough for the referee to reverse his initial decision! Palace are denied a spot kick, but you can't help feel that Liverpool have gotten away with one there!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:06

Replays are suggesting a foul on Endo from Hughes to kick-start that Palace attack, and the referee is heading over to the pitch-side monitor for an even closer look!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:06

Is it a penalty? Endo is caught out in possession by Hughes as he collects a Van Dijk pass, and the Palace midfielder feeds Edouard in the box. He looks to beat Van Dijk but is brought down by the Liverpool defender, and the referee has no hesitation in pointing straight to the spot! The referee's also reaching for a card, but the VAR officials are asking him to double-check this...

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:03

SAVED!!! A miraculous stop keeps Palace at bay! The hosts break at speed as Ayew charges into open space down the right-hand side. His low cross into the middle is missed by Edoaurd but met by Lerma, whose first-time shot is heading for the bottom corner! Alisson's initial save doesn't get enough on it, but the goalkeeper retreats brilliantly to claw the goalbound ball off the post and the line at full stretch!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:00

Liverpool have won just four of their last 15 Premier League games in London, losing on their last trip to the capital against Tottenham. The Reds haven’t lost back-to-back Premier League games in London since defeats at Palace (November 2014) and Arsenal (April 2015).

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

13:00

Yellow Card Virgil van Dijk

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:58

Alisson comes a good 20 yards out of his box to link up with his defenders passing the ball around at the back, and is almost caught on the hop by Edouard before Quansah and Van Dijk get Liverpool out of trouble!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:56

Another cross-field free-kick from Palace is brought down superbly by Schlupp, who takes Alexander-Arnold on down the byline and wins a corner off the Liverpool defender.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:55

Liverpool have lost just one of their last 26 Premier League matches, a 2-1 defeat to Spurs in September. Since they lost to Man City in April, the Reds have won more points than any other side in the competition (59).

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:54

Guehi brings down a high ball and sets off on the charge for Palace. He plays a smart one-two with Lerma on the turn and spreads it wide to Ayew, but the Ghanaian's cross for his captain is cleared by the Liverpool defence.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:53

With an average age of exactly 29 years, this is Crystal Palace's oldest starting XI in the Premier League since a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in May 2021, during which the average age was just one day short of 30 years.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:51

From the cleared Liverpool corner, both Szoboszlai and Gravenberch have shots blocked from the edge of the box, in some real backs-to-the-wall defending from the home side!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:50

Alexander-Arnold's cross takes a deflection as Nunez closes in at the far post, but Ward's there to nod the ball behind for a Liverpool corner.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:50

Nunez's lofted ball in behind has Salah racing after it, but Johnstone springs off his line to come out and collect the ball before the Egyptian can get there.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:49

Hughes' delivery is headed away by Liverpool, who immediately set off on the counter-attack. Ward's sliding challenge forces Salah wide, and his cross into the middle is well claimed by Johnstone for Palace.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:46

Quansah's clearance is brought back down the left flank by Schlupp, whose cross deflects behind off Alexander-Arnold for the game's first corner.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:43

A smart inside ball from Gravenberch opens up space on the right for Salah, who finds Tsimikas in the box before the Greek left-back has a shot deflected clear!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:41

Palace captain Ward is making his 148th Premier League appearance at Selhurst Park, overtaking Wilfried Zaha (147) for the most games played there in the competition.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:40

Ward's long free-kick into the Liverpool box is nodded down by Richards and flicked towards goal by Lerma, but Van Dijk heads clear before Guehi can get his head to the ball.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:39

Crystal Palace haven't won any of their last 12 Premier League meetings with Liverpool, of which they've lost 10 - their longest ongoing winless run against an opponent.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:37

Endo is dispossessed by Hughes and Richards plays a throughball down the middle for Edouard to chase, but Van Dijk's on the scene for Liverpool and recovers the ball.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:35

The ball breaks nicely for Tsimikas some 30 yards from goal, who fizzes a half-volley that swerves several yards away from the intended target!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:34

Liverpool have never lost a Premier League away game at Crystal Palace under Jurgen Klopp, winning seven out of their eight visits. Their last defeat there was in November 2014 under Brendan Rodgers.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:32

Nunez kicks the game off for Liverpool, and we're up and running in south London!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:30

The two teams trudge out onto the pitch as the rain pours down on Selhurst Park, and we'll be ready and set for kick-off in just a matter of moments!

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:25

Meanwhile, Liverpool have made five changes from the 2-0 win over Sheffield United, their most from one match to another this season. They come from back to front too, with Alisson between the sticks and Jarell Quansah and Kostas Tsimikas slotting into the backline. Ryan Gravenberch takes the midfield place of the injured Alexis Mac Allister, while Darwin Nunez leads the line with Cody Gakpo amongst the substitutes.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:21

Roy Hodgson makes two changes from the side defeated 2-0 in Croydon by Bournemouth, with ex-Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne coming in for the injured Tyrick Mitchell and captain Joel Ward switching to left-back. Michael Olise, a transfer target for Liverpool last summer, drops to the bench, with Will Hughes taking his place in midfield.

Conversely, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last eight, and have suffered just one defeat so far this season. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds come into this game off the back of successive victories over Sheffield United and Fulham, and could overtake Arsenal at the top of the table with another win here.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

12:05

14th-placed Palace are in a really poor spell of form at the moment, having won just once in their last eight league games. They’ve taken just one point from 12 available since that 2-0 win at Burnley, drawing 1-1 with West Ham before a 2-0 home loss to Bournemouth last time out.
