From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Crystal Palace were the last team to beat Liverpool at home in the Premier League, in April 2017, and they travel to Anfield this weekend.

League leaders Liverpool got back to winning ways with a disciplined 1-0 win at Brighton last week, and can stretch their lead at the top to seven ahead of Manchester City’s game at Huddersfield on Sunday.

After losing 2-1 at home to Watford last week, Roy Hodgson’s team lie in 14th place on 22 points, but just four points off the relegation zone. Follow the live action below.

What time does it start?

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace kicks off at 3:00pm (GMT) on Saturday 19th January.

Where can I watch it?

The match will not be shown live on TV or online in the UK.

Independent Sport will keep you up to date with all the goals as they fly in via our live blog.

Highlights will be shown at 10:20pm on BBC One.

Player to watch…

Mohamed Salah: The Egyptian was once again the match-winner last week at Brighton, winning and scoring the penalty which secured three important points. Currently joint top-scorer in the Premier League on 14 goals alongside Harry Kane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Salah is at times being deployed as a central striker, a role he is thriving in as Liverpool look to stay clear of Manchester City.

Good afternoon and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's 3pm kick-offs across the Premier League.

Team news will be announced across the country at 2pm, which we'll bring you as soon as it drops for all six games that start mid-afternoon.

With Manchester City not playing until Sunday, Liverpool can put the pressure on as they take on Crystal Palace at Anfield, while Manchester United are also at home with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looking to continue his winning streak against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Newcastle United need a win at home to move out of the relegation zone as they face Cardiff City, the team directly above them, while Bournemouth and West Ham meet in a mid-table encounter at the Vitality Stadium. That’s not the only clash on the south coast as resurgent Southampton host struggling Everton, and Watford take on Burnley at Vicarage Road.

If the seven goals at Molineux in the day's early game are anything to go by, we could be in for a superb day of Premier League action.

Six games for your consumption in the three o'clock window, and we'll have updates from all of them during the course of the afternoon...

Bournemouth vs West Ham

No Marko Arnautovic for the visitors at the Vitality Stadium, with the Austrian's departure to China perhaps moving closer by the day despite West Ham's resolve to keep him.

Andy Carroll starts in his absence on the South Coast, while Callum Wilson (another player in the rumour mill this January) returns for Bournemouth.
