Liverpool vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League latest goals and updates after Eberechi Eze scores early
Liverpool host Crystal Palace in the Premier League for Sunday’s earlier kick off with the possibilty of moving back into first place should they triumph at Anfield.
The Reds, who have suffered a couple of disappointing results after a 2-2 draw against Manchester United and a 3-0 defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League, will hope to get back to winning ways as some of their key players make returns from injury. Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold could feature today but Jurgen Klopp would prefer dominate the Eagles and not risk them if possible.
Palace meanwhile have not won any of their previous five league games and were easily beaten by Manchester City last time out despite goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Odsonne Edouard. Follow all the action from Anfield below plus get the latest odds and tips right here:
44’ – Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
Final minute of the half. Konate loses the ball when running through midfield and the ball is played right to Olise – Jones tracks him all the way and just about does enough to hold him at bay. Liverpool fortunate.
Eze then crosses and Mateta heads over the bar at the near post – Klopp has a lot of work to do at the break to sort Liverpool out.

41’ – Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
Somehow the equaliser will not come. A pass from deep sees Nunez freed and he squares across the six-yard box with Henderson left stranded – neither Salah nor Diaz can get the touch to finish off the move and then a slightly debatable offside flag goes up to end he move.
Liverpool fans are frustrated again moments later as the referee gives them a free-kick, but halts an attacking move by failing to give advantage.

38’ – Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
Palace not quite able to break out of shape with as much regularity over the last 15 minutes. They still look a threat when breaking with Eze though and Liverpool are certainly going to leave spaces the longer the game goes on.
Salah hasn’t been in the game too much yet though and Nunez has missed a few touches – the Reds need the attack firing.

34’ – Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
Lerma fouls Mac Allister right on the edge of the box. It’s central and just a foot or so from the penalty box line; the No10 takes the set piece himself but it’s blocked by the wall.
Salah curls a shot on target which Henderson palms away; no equaliser yet but Liverpool have significantly raised their tempo and the chances are certainly coming now.

30’ – Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
How has that stayed out! Robertson produces a magnificent run and cross from the left and Diaz is flying in at the far post – his mid-air volley is bouncing down and up and heading in, but Henderson somehow produces a brilliant reflex hand to paw it away! Konate heads the corner over the bar.
It was Endo, meanwhile, who hit the bar a minute beforehand.

28’ – Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
Liverpool almost force an equaliser! A scramble off a corner sees Van Dijk and Salah both trying to toepoke in and eventually there’s both a shot and a ricochet which bounces up and off the crossbar – somehow it stays out and Palace clear.

26’ – Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
Jurgen Klopp has been a picture of frustration for most of this first half. A bit better from the Reds now as Salah frees Nunez into the box and Jones eventually wins a corner – good defending from Munoz twice there.
Diaz then bursts between both Munoz and Andersen but the former just about does enough to lean into the winger and allow Henderson to collect.

22’ – Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
A quarter of the game gone and just the one shot from Liverpool so far. Palace well on top in terms of what they are doing with the ball and creating far more openings with their movement and speed of play.
Lerma is down for Palace now and needing a bit of attention.

18’ – Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
Very, very, very nearly 2-0. Virgil van Dijk slips over as he looks to clear a simple ball and Mateta races through on goal. He clips his shot over Alisson Becker and it’s bouncing in – until Andy Robertson sprints back and just, just manages to clear the ball off the line.
Must have been centimetres in it.
