  • 94'
    That's it! Liverpool showed a lot of grit to get that victory, and had luck on their side too. Palace should be proud of their performance but just couldn't find a way to get the ball long enough to create any real chances.
  • 92'
    GOAL!!!! Great counter from Liverpool, as they get the ball forward to Mane who uses his pace to burst in to the box and take it round the keeper to score.
  • 90'
    Great tackle from Tomkins, but Firmino is injured by the follow through.
  • 87'
    Lallana is on for Keita.
  • 87'
    Firmino has been quiet today, and shows that he hasn't got his shooting boots on by smahing the ball in to the stands.
  • 86'
    Liverpool are just passing it around now, trying to see out the game.
  • 81'
    Mane in a good position, but his shot is straight at the keeper.
  • 77'
    Salah goes close with the resulting free-kick, but the wall gets it out for a corner.

  • 75'
    Wan-Bisaka is off! The young defender brings down Salah just outside the box as he's through on goal, and is sent off by Michael Oliver.
  • 68'
    Henderson comes on for Milner.
  • 65'
    There's no getting away from it, that was awful from Benteke. The shot was nowehere near going in and takes a while to land in the stand...
  • 60'
    Salah goes close with a vicious volley followuing a corner, but Schlupp gets a block in.
  • 53'
    Alexander-Arnold brings down Zaha after a good run from the Palace man. Milovojevic takes the free-kick but it's saved well by Alisson.
  • 49'
    CLOSE! Blistering counter from Liverpool, as Robertson plays in Salah who can't quite get the ball in to the net himself and manages to play it back to Mane who shoots just wide.
  • 46'
    Palace get the game back under way.
  • 45'
    That's it for the end of the first 45 minutes. That penalty will leave a sour taste in the mouth for Palace, who have defended well and had good chances themselves. Liverpool will know they need to do better in the final third in the second half.
  • 44'
    GOAL!!! James Milner converts a penalty won by Mo Salah, although Palace fans will say it's very soft.
  • 40'
    Nice ball from Keita in to Mane, but his shot is wild and over the bar.
  • 34'
    Andy Robertson with a good opportunity to volley home from just inside the box. But he can't keep it down.
  • 26'
    Keita shoots on his left foot from close, but Hennesey gets down well to save it.
  • 24'
    Great from Townsend! He makes the most of a poor pass from Keita, cuts inside and curls the ball amazingly in to the far corner, but hits the crossbar!
  • 23'
    Great ball from keita over the top, but Salah can't get the ball to come down quickly enough as he tries to chip Hennesey.
  • 21'
    The ball is in the net, but only after Mane has fouled Hennesey as the Palace keeper collects a cross. No goal.
  • 18'
    Great challenge from Wan-Bissaka on Mane. Gareth Southgate will appreciate that in the stands.
  • 14'
    Mane with a ball in to the box, but Hennesey does well to punch it away from danger.
  • 9'
    Liverpool are keeping the bulk of possession, but haven't had a lot of opportuniites to hurt Palace yet.
  • 4'
    Great from Firmino, who skips past 2 players and tries to get in Mane, but the pass is just too strong.
  • 1'
    Liverpool kick off the game.

    The teams are on the pitch in front of a packed Selhurst Park. This should be a good one!
  • PRVW
    Gareth has arrived! No waist-coat unfortunately though.
  • PRVW
    It has been rumoured that Gareth Southgate will be at his old club to watch Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez for the visitors, as well as Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the home side.
  • PRVW
    Here's what the away team will look like: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Mane, Salah, Firmino
  • PRVW
    Here's how the home team will look: Hennessey; Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Sakho, van Aanholt; Townsend, Milivojevic, McArthur, Schlupp; Zaha, Benteke
  • PRVW
    Crystal Palace will be relying on their main man Wilfried Zaha up front to get their goals. He scored against Fulham last weekend and will hope to add to that tonight.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool will expect their attacking trio of Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane to be on top form, especially Mane who scored twice last week in a 4-0 thrashing of West Ham.
