Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Liverpool's trip to Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Despite all their injury problems, Liverpool remain top of the table, and victory in this early kick off will, temporarily at least, send them six points clear at the top of the table. Palace are in decent form, however, having gone three unbeaten. Tottenham were pegged back here last week, will Liverpool also drop points?

Not you, again.
42'
Speculative effort from Zaha, but it flashes wide of the far post. With his talent, sometimes those ones go in.
40'
Liverpool back in control here. They are in the hunt for a third.
-
Indeed.
38'
Palace look shocked. It really was in the blink of an eye that Mane fired that into the net.
36'
After nine games without a goal, Mane takes a touch after Firmino's pass into him before arrowing a powerful strike into the net. Palace have dominated much of this half, but in two moves, Liverpool have showed their quality.
35'
GGGGGGOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!! Palace 0-2 Liverpool. Somewhat against the run of play, Mane fires a brilliant second into the bottom corner.

Palace don't really want half time here. They need to make this pressure count.
-
I mean, he really should have picked Zaha out.
32'
Another good save from Alisson from a set-piece. Eze delivers the corner, which Schlupp heads goalwards but can only divert the ball into the goalkeeper's hands.
30'
Matip, down the other end, gets his head to a corner, but can only steer the ball wide.
-
It didn't take them long today.
28'
Ayew again in the thick of it, as he heads straight at Alisson.
26'
Liverpool need to calm this down. Palace are gaining in confidence.
24'
BIG CHANCE! Zaha is all alone in the middle, but Ayew fails to pick him out, playing the ball behind Zaha. Liverpool carved open.
22'
Ayew lets the ball run through his legs, but Minamino is back there and clears. Palace are growing and growing into this.
20'
Jeff Schlupp lifts the cross into the middle but Jordan Henderson hooks it clear. Better from Palace.
18'
Alisson races from his line to slide clear at the feet of Zaha, Luka Milivojevic then tries to catch the Brazilian off his line from 40 yards, but Alisson gets back to gather with ease.
16'
Matip up to Mane, but he is dispossessed. Palace cannot break quickly as Liverpool continue to press high.
14'
Liverpool still comfortable here.
