Liverpool vs Crystal Palace LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today
Liverpool's quest for a Premier League title in manager Juergen Klopp's final season with the team suffered a huge blow with a 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace at Anfield on Sunday that left them third in the table.
Eberechi Eze scored in the 14th minute to stun the Anfield faithful in the third consecutive disappointing result for Liverpool. Klopp's men are even on 71 points with second-placed Arsenal, who were playing later on Sunday, and two behind provisional leaders Manchester City.
Tyrick Mitchell found Eze unmarked in the box after some good passing and Eze slotted home with his first touch to put Palace ahead. Poor finishing by Liverpool, including Curtis Jones's shot on a breakaway that he fired wide, secured the win for the visitors.
Liverpool were coming off a 3-0 loss to Atalanta in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday and a costly 2-2 draw with Manchester United in their previous league game on April 7.

Unanticipated anguish leaves Liverpool's hopes hanging by a thread
16:30 , Jonathan Gorrie
A week is a long time in football, and seven days of wholly unanticipated anguish have severely harmed Liverpool’s hopes of lifting silverware in Jurgen Klopp’s final season at the helm.
Last Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford was the one that got away for the Reds — their dominance untold by the final score-line. But twice in the last four days, a return to their trusty fortress of Anfield has thrown up shock defeats that threaten to ruin Liverpool’s once oh-so-promising campaign.
Just as Thursday’s 3-0 Europa League pummelling here at the hands of Atalanta, precious few saw Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace coming. It hands Arsenal and Manchester City genuine boosts in their title charge but was all of Liverpool’s own making.

88 mins: Edouard on for Mateta now as Palace look to freshen things up. You sense they’ll be doing a LOT of defending in the closing stages.

85 mins: Palace very last ditch now, as you’d imagine.
They’re hoofing everything away.

15:38 , Jonathan Gorrie
Huge chances for Mateta and Jones (twice) go begging. This game should be about 3-3. Instead, the hosts are still yet to beat Dean Henderson.

Exceptional clearance over the bar by Andersen, with Henderson immediately embaccing him. Into the final 20 minutes and Palace still lead. What an incredible result this would be for them, and for the complexion of the title race at the other end of the table.

65 mins: Gakpo and Jota coming on for Nunez and Diaz as Klopp goes for broke.

15:18 , Jonathan Gorrie
Dean Henderson playing a blinder at Anfield. With Sam Johnstone injured, Henderson surely the most likely candidate to go to Euro 2024 as England's third-choice GK behind Pickford and Ramsdale.

15:16 , Jonathan Gorrie
54 mins: WHAT A SAVE!
Nunez swivels and shoots on Van Dijk’s knockdown from a corner but fires it straight at Henderson!
It’s a fine stop but the striker should be scoring.

Palace, as they were in last weekend’s 4-2 defeat to Manchester City, just such a threat on the counter-attack. Eze crosses early and Mateta gets ahead of the Liverpool backline to punch a header just over the bar. Again, unlucky from Oliver Glasner’s side. Yes, Liverpool have had chances, but they could be three up!
HT: Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
14:51 , Jonathan Gorrie
Reds lucky to head into the break only a goal behind.

41 mins: Alisson gets down well to deny Olise from just outside the box.

14:43 , Jonathan Gorrie
Understandably given the score and the repercussions defeat here would have on their title chances, Liverpool’s fans are voicing their frustration whenever the defence does not play the ball quickly into midfield or beyond. The last thing Liverpool fans want to see from their side here is a lethargic performance when their side are already a goal down.

Encouraging for Liverpool — and daunting for Palace — that Salah is just beginning to assert himself on this game.

35 mins: Olise’s touch lets him down after a lovely ball from Eze.
Palace, despite Liverpool’s recent dominance, could be 3-0 up.

Endo so close to giving Liverpool the early equaliser they crave here. And now Henderson springs up to deny Diaz from close range. Liverpool pushing Palace hard now, as Konate heads over the bar. You sense it won’t be long before they’re level.

27 mins: OFF THE BAR!
A melee in the Palace box after a corner and Endo fashions a shot, which hits the bar.
Couldn’t sort his feet out in time to get a clear connection.

28 mins: Henderson keeps Diaz’s acrobatic effort out after a fine cross-field ball from Robertson.
Konate then heads over the resulting corner.

14:22 , Jonathan Gorrie
What a clearance from Andy Robertson. The sort of fine margin that could decide the title. Incredible. Mateta inches from scoring Palace’s second.

17 mins: OFF THE LINE!
Van Dijk slips and Mateta is through on goal, he looks to chip Alisson but Robertson clears it off the line!

14:19 , Jonathan Gorrie
What a moment for Palace, and what a potentially seismic moment in the shape of the title race! A lovely flowing move down the left totally beats Liverpool, with Eze on hand to convert from close range.

Lovely patient play from Palace down the left sees Mitchell find Mitchell, who pulls back for Eze to fire underneath Alisson.

Pretty end-to-end start here, and Liverpool nearly into the lead through Nunez. Uruguayan could maybe have taken an extra touch to get him closer to the goal from Robertson’s lay-off. Henderson made a comfortable save

So, [they] looked very good yesterday, to be honest.”
Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic, and Ben Doak are all out.
