Crystal Palace vs Liverpool LIVE score: Premier League result and reaction
Liverpool will look to bounce back from their midweek Champions League thumping when they travel to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side took a 2-0 lead against Real Madrid after goals from Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah but capitulated to a dismal 5-2 defeat after goals from Vinicus Jr, Eder Militao and Karim Benzema.
Prior to that, Liverpool had won back-to-back games in the Premier League to sit eighth and will want to continue that form as they chase a top-four spot.
Crystal Palace drew 1-1 against Brentford last weekend and sit 12th but Patrick Vieira’s side are winless in their last eight games in all competitions.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Liverpool are now unbeaten in their last three league games, and this point lifts them up to seventh, six points off Tottenham in fourth. Next up for them is Wolves in midweek. Palace's search for a win in 2023 continues, and they stay in 12th. They travel to Aston Villa next time out.

It finishes goalless between Palace and Liverpool. The Reds dominated most of the game, and struck the woodwork in both halves through Jota's header against the post and Salah's swerving effort off the bar. Matip, Alexander-Arnold, Jota and Salah all forced saves out of Guaita, but couldn't find a way past him. Palace didn't manage a single effort on target in the game, though came close through Mateta just before the break when Mateta also struck the crossbar.

Robertson clumsily bundles Ayew over down the right to give Palace one last chance to put the ball into the box. It also earns him a late yellow card.

21:35 , admin
Into three minutes of added time here, and Liverpool have a free-kick on the right. Milner swings a deep cross in, but Van Dijk can't direct it back towards goal, and Palace clear their lines.

Bajcetic cheaply loses the ball and Palace win it back high upfield again. They switch it to the left, but can't find a way through, so it's sent back out to Ayew on the right, but he can't pick out a cross either.

21:30 , admin
Milner lets the ball run out of play as Doucoure is down. He's struggling with cramp, which Lokonga helps him out with, and he can carry on without treatment.

It's Matip that stops a Palace counter-attack this time, and his name also goes into the book.

GREAT CHANCE! Salah takes over from Elliott in the centre circle and cuts Palace's defence open with his throughball to Gakpo. Guaita reacts quickly, rushing off his line to put Gakpo off and he fires wide.

Liverpool just can't get out of their own half at the moment as Palace up the pressure. Olise curls another cross in from the right, and Mateta glances it on, but there's no one at the far post.

21:05 , admin
Palace break quickly on the counter again, with Olise riding a challenge from Milner before switching it out to Ayew on the right. The cross lets him down though as it loops over everyone onto the roof of the net.

Mitchell finds himself in an advanced position down the left and tries to curl a low cross in. Milner misses it and Mateta is hovering in the middle, but Matip gets in front of him.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
21:00 , admin
SAVE! Alexander-Arnold's corner causes chaos in the box, with three Palace players hitting the floor. It bounces back to Matip at the near post as his team-mates ask for a penalty again, and his volley is tipped wide by Guaita.

20:58 , admin
Robertson whips a free-kick into the far post from the right, and Van Dijk can't bring it under control. There are half-hearted shouts for a penalty for an alleged handball, but the referee shakes his head.

Again, Liverpool work it quickly down their right, with Salah picking out Alexander-Arnold's overlapping run. His cross almost catches out Guaita, who has to parry it over the bar.

At the other end, it's neatly worked down Palace's right, with Olise knocking it onto Clyne. His cross loops to the far post and Alexander-Arnold just does enough to put Schlupp off, and Alisson holds onto the loose ball.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
20:51 , admin
Liverpool are looking to make a quick start to the second half as Elliott lifts a brilliant cross into the middle of the box. Jota stretches out a leg to try and poke it past Guaita, but it's just out of his reach, and the keeper holds it.

Klopp was quickly down the tunnel at the half-time whistle; his side look shaky at the back and are causing a lot of their own problems, which he'll want to cut out after the break. Vieira will be pleased with his players and how they put pressure on the visitors. They got into some good positions, but need to create better chances for themselves.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
20:38 , admin
It's goalless at the break between Palace and Liverpool. The Reds dominated possession and created more chances, with Jota coming the closest when he thumped a close-range header against the post from a tight angle. He and Salah also saw a chance each comfortably saved by Guaita. Palace have caused Liverpool some real problems with their high press. Mateta struck the bar after Schlupp won it on the edge of the box, and Guehi thumped a header just wide.

OFF THE POST! Alexander-Arnold is dispossessed by Schlupp on the edge of his own box, and it's fizzed into Mateta. He hits the shot first time, lifting it over Alisson, but it skims off the top of the crossbar on its way over.

SAVE! Liverpool break quickly on the counter from the resulting corner, and it's played long for Salah to chase. He gets away from Guehi before taking the shot early, but it's another comfortable save for Guaita.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
20:27 , admin
BLOCK! Ayew spins away from three Liverpool players before touching it back to Doucoure, who switches it out to Clyne. He clips it to Olise at the far post, and he hits it on the half-volley, but Keita sticks out a leg to block it.

Palace are growing in confidence, and they're keeping Liverpool penned back in their own half at the moment as they patiently work it forward.

It's a wonderful switch out to Olise, who has space down the right. Instead, he checks back and squeezes a dangerous cross into the six-yard box, but neither Mateta nor Schlupp can get on the end of it.

There's a nervy moment as Liverpool try to play it out from the back again. This time, Mateta chases down Alisson, who just manages to hook it upfield to Salah, but Palace quickly get it back.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
20:19 , admin
Liverpool are starting to up the pressure here. Gakpo's cross pinballs its way through the box to Alexander-Arnold, who tries to recycle it. He has three to aim for in the middle but can only pick out Lokonga.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
20:18 , admin
Alisson decides to go long with the clearance this time, and it looks like Clyne has it covered until Jota gets across. The right-back just manages to clear his lines, but only as far as Robertson.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
20:16 , admin
CHANCE! Salah flicks the ball into a more central position to give Alexander-Arnold a better angle. He puts his laces through it, but it smacks Henderson on the side of the head and bounces wide. There are groans from the away end.

It's better from Liverpool here as they work it down their left. Gakpo is crowded off it, so it's worked back to Robertson. He tries to curl it into the near post, but Andersen makes the block.

19:53 , admin
Alexander-Arnold's wayward crossfield pass gives Palace a throw-in high upfield. Olise controls it before sliding it through to Ayew. He holds off Van Dijk to set up Mateta, but he came back from an offside position to do it.

It's a sloppy pass from Jota deep in his own half as he gifts it to Olise, and he squares it to Mateta on the edge of the box. He leaves the ball behind as he goes around Van Dijk, and Jota recovers to stop him from getting a second attempt.

Patrick Vieira sticks with the same starting line-up that so nearly beat Brentford last weekend. Mitchell is fit enough to retain his place after being forced off by an ankle injury in that game. Ward is back on the bench after overcoming a calf problem.
