IT'S BACK TO ATTACK v DEFENCE
Palace can't get out. They'll be concerned, or should be, that though their last-ditch defending has been good, they've struggled to limit Liverpool's clear-cut chances.

BUT AS I TYPE THAT
Milner finds Alexander-Arnold, who collects on the stretch then cuts back for Salah! Surely this is 1-0?! No! He punches a foot wide of the near post, and Liverpool cold and should be out of sight already.
22'
PALACE ARE DOING REALLY WELL
At getting in blocks and defensive headers.
22'
LIVERPOOL STEP IT UP AGAIN
Salah getting away down the right and crossing well, Ward doing really well to get rid at the back post.
20'
IS THIS THE LIBRARY?
Sing the Palace fans. They'll be happy with how things are going, because their team are looking a little more solid now, and also able to mix it a little bit when they get the ball.

ZAHA STICKS EZE IN!
But he never looks confident, shooting into Alisson's leg, and the flag then shows he was offside.

MILNER LOFTS ONE OVER THE TOP...
...and there's Robertson in the centre-forward position running onto it! He bent his run beautifully to get there too, but as he brings the ball down, Ward get in and blocks his shot, then Diaz has a shot blocked too.
16'
PALACE HAVE SLOWED IT DOWN A BIT
But they've still mustered the cube root of nowt as an attacking force.
14'
DIAZ DRILLS A GORGEOUS CROSSFIELD BALL
But Phillips botches his attempted cross.
13'
ELLIOTT TRIES TO SLIDE MILNER DOWN THE INSIDE-RIGHT CHANNEL
But a poor first touch sends the ball behind.
11'
PALACE ARE IN THE TUMBLE DRYER
They're not much enjoying it.
9'
LIVERPOOL SHOULD SCORE - THE RETURN!
Van Dijk spreads play with a gorgeous diag, Alexander-Arnold cuts back to the edsge, and Elliott opts not to shoot first time, instead working space by twinkling past the first challenge. But his shot is blocked then, when the ball breaks to Nunez at the far post, he thrashes over the top. If Palace can't get a hold of things, they'll soon be behind.

PALACE CAN'T GET OUT
Along ball finds Salah and his blonde highlights down the right, he finds Elliott who shoots ... but the effort is blocked at source.
5'
LIVERPOOL HAVE STARTED WELL
I daresay they heard seom words from Klopp post-Fulham, and this time it's Elliott attempting a cross, and this time Guaita claims.
4'
HE'S UP
And immediately floats the goalkick into touch. Lovely stuff.
3'
GUAITA IS DOWN
Milner caught him, but I'm sure he'll be fine.

LIVERPOOL SHOULD SCORE!
Alexander-Arnold crosses and with Nunez challening, Guaita is forced to punch. He gets decent contact but marching onto the loose ball is Milner, who controls well enough only to leather high and wide.
