Liverpool welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield as Jurgen Klopp’s side continue in their Premier League title challenge on April 14.
The Reds were beaten 3-0 at home by Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League this week and will be determined to recover quickly as they look to keep their quest for a treble of trophies in 2023/24 alive.
Liverpool play in between their title rivals Manchester City and Arsenal this weekend and Klopp needs to ensure his squad bounce back from their 2-2 draw at Manchester United last weekend.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace live updates and commentary
45 mins: Palace once again make inroads down the Liverpool right. Eze crosses for Mateta, who can’t direct a difficult header on target when under pressure from Van Dijk. We’re heading into two minutes of added time.
42 mins: Henderson gets away with one there! The Palace keeper hesitates as Nunez gets in behind the defence and, when he finally comes off his line, the striker lifts the ball beyond him, but Diaz can’t manage to turn it goalwards. The offside flag is then raised anyway.
37 mins: Eze leads another good Palace break, but his pass to Olise is far too hard and his teammate can’t control the ball heading into the box. That was a decent chance.
34 mins: Salah races in behind Lerma, cuts back onto his left foot and aims for the far corner, but Henderson makes a good save. What follows is a series of 50-50 challenges across the middle third of the pitch that end in, well, about a 50-50 success rate. This has become a good battle.
33 mins: Mac Allister wins a free-kick right on the edge of the Palace box. Salah rolls it to one side and Mac Allister strikes, but Palace were so quick to close down the space, and the shot is easily blocked.
30 mins: Palace get in again, and Mateta attempts an audacious backheel finish from right in front of the Kop. He perhaps knew he was offside.
28 mins: Salah! Robertson’s cross from the left sails to the far post and Salah stretches to get a touch on it, but Henderson covers his post well. From the corner, Ibrahima Konate climbs highest but can only head the ball over the bar.
27 mins: OFF THE BAR! A loose ball in the Palace box drops at Van Dijk’s feet, and nobody seems able to sort their feet out. In the end, Wataru Endo swings a foot at it, and the ball smashes off the crossbar from barely six yards out.
22 mins: Luis Diaz tries to spark Liverpool into life, winning back the ball and allowing Mohamed Salah to play in Nunez, but Jefferson Lerma makes an outstanding sliding tackle. Moments later, Robertson gets into the box down the same side but is denied by another excellent challenge, this time from Nathaniel Clyne.
17 mins: OFF THE LINE! Incredible! Shades of Steven Gerrard 2014 as captain Virgil van Dijk slips over and Jean-Philippe Mateta is through on goal. He chips a finish over the onrushing Alisson, but Andrew Robertson gets back to hook the ball off the line. Brilliant from the left-back, but what a missed opportunity for Palace.

14 mins: GOAL! It’s Palace who get the early breakthrough! It’s a lovely passing move down the left, but Liverpool just don’t close down the play quickly enough. In the end, Tyrick Mitchell gets free inside the box and cuts the ball back to Eberechi Eze, who is completely unmarked six yards from goal as he side-foots home a composed finish.

7 mins: Darwin Nunez has the first shot, but it’s a comfortable stop for Dean Henderson. There’s a bit of a nervy feeling around the ground. Liverpool would love a goal to settle themselves down.
5 mins: It’s been a sedate start here. Liverpool have controlled the early possession but haven’t found a way through the Palace defence.
Kickoff: First half
We’re off and running!
5 mins before kickoff: The teams are out, and Anfield is in full voice as You’ll Never Walk Alone echoes around the stands. The players have now gathered around the centre circle for a minute’s silence.

15 mins before kickoff: This is a huge game for Liverpool today (aren’t they all at this stage of the season?). It would give Arsenal a real lift before their meeting with Aston Villa later if the Reds can’t take all three points.
Palace have only won one of their past 13 away games in all competitions, though, so Jurgen Klopp may consider today’s opponents to be good ones to face today…
Team news
The big news for Liverpool is that goalkeeper Alisson is back in the starting lineup for the first time since February 4. It had been thought Trent Alexander-Arnold might also start, but he’s on the bench again.

1 hour 30 mins before kickoff: This will be a poignant day at Anfield. Liverpool traditionally mark the home game closest to the date of the Hillsborough disaster of April 15, 1989, commemorating the 97 fans who lost their lives as a result of the tragedy. Wreaths have been laid at the Anfield memorial site before kickoff, and there will be a period of reflection before today’s game.
