Crystal Palace vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Diogo Jota secures testing win

24 mins: Mo Salah dances into the box and lets fly but his effort is blocked and deflected out for a corner. Kostas Tsimikas whips in the set piece which gets headed over the cross by Marc Guehi.

21 mins: Cody Gakpo finds a bit of space on the left side of the pitch and whips a fine cross into the far side of the penalty area.

Mo Salah is around as the target of the pass but Tyrick Mitchell leaps ahead of him and confidently deals with the cross.

18 mins: Munoz seems to have an issue for Crystal Palace which will be a big blow. He’s trotted off the pitch for a bit of treatment meaning the hosts are playing with 10-men for the time being.

Nathaniel Clyne eventually replaces him and restores the hosts to parity.

15 mins: Save!

Alexander-Arnold slips a pass into the right side of the box for Mo Salah who collects it with eagerness. He squares a pass into the six-yard area where Alexis Mac Allister leaps over the ball thinking a teammate is behind him.

There isn’t one but the ball is heading for goal until Dean Henderson sticks out a leg and diverts its path with a sharp, late save.

12 mins: Liverpool look in control now. The goal has settled them down and deflated the early momentum of Crystal Palace. Trent Alexander-Arnold is lacing passes all over the pitch but is happy to remain out wide on the right to deliver crosses into the box.

A corner for the visitors is met in the air by Jefferson Lerma who nods is clear with gusto.

Liverpool strike first!

Just as Crystal Palace look to be settling into the game Liverpool break through the lines after a fine pass from Kostas Tsimikas. The pace of the attack quickens up as Cody Gakpo flies down the left and slides a ball into the middle of the box.

Diogo Jota bursts through the cluster of defenders, gets to the ball first and guides it home!

6 mins: Daniel Munoz gets forward for Palace and looks to cut a pass into the box which Virgil van Dijk turns behind for a corner.

Eberechi Eze swings it in but it’s cleared without too much trouble.

3 mins: Liverpool were almost rocked in just 22 seconds as Crystal Palace sought to emulate Brentford’s early goals. Eddie Nketiah just drifted too far forward and the visitors have a reprieve.

Since then, the Reds have got themselves on the ball and are forcing Palace to defend inside their own half.

Palace get the ball rolling and boot it long over to the right side of the pitch. Liverpool look to break through the middle but Jefferson Lerma lunges in and nicks possession.

He gives it to Adam Wharton who slides a fine pass out to Ismaila Sarr.

Sarr squares a pass into the box where Eddie Nketiah scores! What a start... oh no.

The offside flag goes up and the goal is chalked off.

“Big atmosphere pre-match at Selhurst as usual - the home fans don’t seem particularly downbeat despite being winless so far.

“Facing the league leaders isn’t really what you want in that kind of situation but Liverpool have already shown they are not fallible - and Arne Slot has made a few changes today too.

“This is usually a good fixture in terms of action and talking points, but until the end-of-season win for Palace last term, it’s also a fixture the Reds have been heavily dominant in for a few years.”
