United States Crystal Palace vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today
(REUTERS)
Liverpool head to Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon, hoping for a third win in a week to start to put pressure back on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. Victory for the Reds would leave them nine points adrift of the reigning champions with a game in hand, following their draw with Southampton on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp’s team have rediscovered form of late after a slight stutter, beating Brentford last weekend before dispatching Arsenal in midweek to reach the Carabao Cup final.
For Palace, this has undoubtedly been a season of progress and putting into place building blocks for an exciting-looking future, after a summer squad overhaul and the appointment of Patrick Vieira as manager. They sit 13th in the table, with just one win from the last five following a draw at Brighton last time out.
Victory would push the Eagles back into the top half, though the scale of their task is underlined by the fact the Reds have emerged triumphant in all of the last nine competitive meetings between these two teams, including a 3-0 win at Anfield in September and a 7-0 thrashing at Selhurst Park last term. Follow all the team news and match action as Crystal Palace host Liverpool below:
- Crystal Palace: Butland; Mitchell, Guehi, Andersen, Ward; Schlupp, Hughes, Gallagher; Olise, Edouard, Mateta
- Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Jones; Jota, Firmino, Oxlade-Chamberlain
- 8’ GOAL! Van Dijk powerfully heads Liverpool into early lead, 0-1!
- 32’ GOAL! Oxlade-Chamberlain converts a delightful Robertson cross, 0-2!
- 55’ GOAL! Edouard puts the Eagles back in it, lovely work from Mateta too, 1-2 and game on!
- 89’ GOAL! Fabinho converts from the spot after a controversial penalty awarded to Liverpool by VAR after Jota is fouled by Guaita, 1-3!
At the Emirates Stadium Arsenal failed to break down Burnley and that game finished goalless wile the points were also shared between Leicester and Brighton. Patson Daka put the home side in front before the Seagulls levelled things up through Danny Welbeck.
Coming up, Chelsea host Tottenham in a clash with ramifications for the top four. Kick off for that game is at 4.30pm.

90+6 mins: There’s the final whistle! Liverpool were fortunate to win a penalty that tled to the third goal and killed the chance of an exciting finish. Crystal Palace where all at sea in the opening 30 minutes but after that were fantastic. Alisson made a bunch of great saves for Liverpool who looked uncharacteristically poor defensively.
The bottom line is that Liverpool pick up all three points at cut the gap of Manchester City to nine.
