Substitution



Fantastic save from Henderson
Isak exchanges passes with Munoz and is in - but Henderson gets out quickly and is low and equal to his effort.
Wirtz shoots
Simple enough save for Henderson, straight at him this time.
Yellow Card

Yellows all round

Muñoz is booked for Liverpool for simulation in the box, and Lerma is booked for his reaction.
Yellow Card

Yellow Card

Palace threaten again

A cross comes in, Richards scoops up, and Nketiah can't quite get his head on it.
The Eagles have come close on so many occasions this time - it really just hasn't gone our way.
Ahhh!

Nketiah close again - another big chance. Wharton with a clipped pass over the top, Nketiah is played on by the defender on the far side...
It's a tight angle, on his weaker foot, defender racing back... and he leans back and can't quite direct on target. Two big chances in quick succession.
Massive chance for Pino

Ah, Palace have to convert that one.
Nketiah wins it high, Osorio dribbles towards goal and squares for Pino...
He's one-on-one with Alisson, who races from goal... and blocks the placed finish. Has to score...
Substitution

A quieter spell in the game

Palace still getting it into some good positions, but we just haven't found that moment of quality on the edge of the box thus far.
Still a potential route back into this for Palace...
Substitution



Yellow Card

Substitution

Substitution

Mitchell...

... with a couple of threatening deliveries from the left, but Liverpool have got it clear on both occasions.
Palace have kept at it...
Liverpool corner

But Palace, after a couple of headers, manage to get it clear.
The Eagles have put in plenty of positive work this afternoon - important that they can rediscover that momentum.
Kamada has dropped deeper into midfield to accommodate Dario Osorio further forward.
Substitution



Yellow Card

Mitchell slides in...

... to deny Barcola on the overlap. Important that Palace don't go three behind here.
They get the corner clear, and then Barcola hauls back Pino. Yellow.
Liverpool Goal

Liverpool score again - Wirtz

Palace were playing so well at the start of the second-half – some really neat one-touch football in the Liverpool half – but are punished.
Barcola sprints down the right, delivers to the penalty spot, and Wirtz places home the visitors' second.
Wharton is offside

It's a nice pass round the corner and Palace have a two-on-one on Alisson.
Ah, but Wharton is offside.
Palace threatening heavily at the start of the second-half.
Phew
Liverpool win a corner and win the first header, but Araujo doesn't get any force on the knockdown and Henderson can thankfully claim.
A harsh reflection on our first-half performance so far. We deserve to be leading, let alone be behind.
Wharton denied!

Ohhhh. Pino whips it in, Wharton gets a glance on it towards the far post and somehow - somehow - Alisson has saved it again.
Player of the Match so far the Liverpool keeper... which says it all.
The corner comes in and Pino has a pop from the edge of the box... deflects behind for another corner, but Alisson claims this one.
Come on Palace.
Timber twice denied!

Palace not cowed by that goal. Some lovely play involving Mitchell and Pino leads to Timber having some space in the box, but his shot is blocked on the slide.
The Eagles go again and Timber has a pop from 25 yards - Alisson saves low to his left.

Liverpool lead - Mac Allister

Typical of our luck of late.
A contentious handball decision leads a move where Liverpool win a free-kick on our right.
Szoboszlai swings it in, Mac Allister is unmarked at the near post, and his glancing header is beyond Henderson.
Liverpool lead.

Liverpool Goal

OHHHHH!

A stunning save from Alisson - Kamada denied!
Palace spray right to left through Mingueza. Pino leaves for Mitchell, who hits a high cross-field delivery...
Kamada is unmarked at the far post... powerful volley across goal... that's a stunning fingertip save from the Liverpool keeper!
How are we not in the lead?!
Strand Larsen has it in the net!

It's cleared but Mingueza keeps the corner alive and delivers to the far post!
Pino controls, smashes it low across goal, it deflects off a Liverpool play I think... and reaches Strand Larsen just inside the six yard box, tight angle...
Lovely dink ovewr Alisson and into the net! Get in!
Ahh, but the flag goes up - he was offside!
Ohhhhh!

After Mitchell - who looks like he's run off a nasty knock a moment ago - the Eagles counter at pace, and Kamada feeds Strand Larsen, who checks inside... smashes a shot, deflects behind off the defender!
Lovely play!
Jacquet with the header
Decent chance that for Liverpool, as Jacquet escapes the attention of his marker from a corner - but heads well over the bar for the visitors.
Yellow Card

Araujo is booked...

... for Liverpool, after diving in somewhat on Mitchell. The studs rake, rather than land, which probably saves him a worse fate there.
Palace have been bright in this opening quarter of the game. Pino has the chance to deliver from in the Liverpool half... it's floated, Lerma heads into the box, Liverpool clear...
On the break, Liverpool counter, and I think it's Timber with the crucial slide on Isak on the edge of the box. Great tackle.
OHHHHHHH!

Pino has hit the bar!
It's a lovely switch to the left, Mitchell drills a cross in, Pino takes a lovely touch to create space for a shot on his left across goal... it's high and beaten Alisson, but doesn't beat the crossbar, smacking against the frame of the goal!
Mingueza then delivers from the far side and Pino wins the header at the far post, but it's a simpler save for Alisson.
So close!
Gakpo is in space here...
It's one deep cross to the far post and the Netherlands international is competing with Van Dijk for it at the far post.
He goes with it with his foot, and directs it across the face of goal... but thankfully it drifts wide, no real threat.
Szoboszlai lines one up...
It's a crisp low hit on the half-volley from 30 yards or so, and forces Henderson to dive down to his right and tip it round the post.
Liverpool corner.
Liverpool swing a free-kick in...

... and Pino hacks clear, following a good initial header from Disasi. He's started well here, the centre-back.
Liverpool with the early attacking momentum but we've had already a dangerous moment or two as well.
Disasi blocks

Isak looks to wriggle free in the Palace box, but Disasi does brilliantly to get his body in the way.
Up the other end and Timber crosses deep, Mitchell retrieves and fizzes a powerful delivery into the six-yard box... Strand Larsen does some aerial acrobatics to try and direct it on target, but can't quite adjust himself - would've been some improvisation, that!
We're underway...

COME ON YOU PALACEEE!
But first, a moment of silence

The Last Post sounds around Selhurst.
We will remember them.
And here come the two teams...

I'm feelin 'GLAD ALL OVERRRR!' roars the sold-out Selhurst crowd!
A massive, massive game today. Let's sign off for the international break in style, Eagles!
A final reminder of the two teams...
Palace: Henderson (GK), Richards, Disasi, Lerma, Mingueza, Timber, Wharton, Mitchell, Kamada, Pino, Strand Larsen.
Subs: Benítez (GK), Canvot, Khalaili, Chilwell, Doucouré, Hughes, Osorio, McNeil, Nketiah.
Liverpool: Alisson (GK), Araujo, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gakpo, Barcola, Isak.
Subs: Mamardashvili (GK), Gomez, Endo, Tsimikas, Munoz, Nyoni, McConnell, Koumas, Ngumoha.
It's just been announced...

... that Yéremy Pino is your October Temporal Player of the Month!
The World Cup winner enjoyed a fine individual month for the Eagles, scoring in both of Palace’s UEFA Europa League away days – at Olympique Lyonnais and Beșiktaș – to continue his fine run of scoring on the continent this season.
In a month where he also turned 24-years-old, the Spaniard was also on target in our win over Nottingham Forest, scoring his first Premier League goal at Selhurst Park early in the second-half to seal a crucial 3-1 win.
Pino has been a bright spark across Palace’s recent challenging results, starting all but one of the Eagles’ Premier League and UEFA Europa League matches so far this season.
He was presented with his award in front of the Selhurst Park crowd, ahead of Sunday’s fixture against Liverpool.
We Will Remember Them

Today's match falls on Remembrance Sunday (8th November).
A special tribute will be held prior to kick-off at Selhurst Park, as a lone bugler plays The Last Post during a minute's silence. Members of the armed forces will lay wreaths with a standard bearer carrying a flag.
The players will be wearing kits embroidered with the poppy during today's match. These will be auctioned via BUDDS to raise funds for the Royal British Legion in support of veterans.
The Royal British Legion is there for the Armed Forces community throughout their lives, providing a lifeline for serving personnel, veterans and their families, supporting them in the face of hardships, injuries and bereavements.
But that vital work can only continue with your help. By supporting the RBL’s Poppy Appeal you’re helping to provide ongoing vital support to the Armed Forces community and ensure their unique contribution is never forgotten. Go to www.britishlegion.org.uk to learn how your contribution will have an impact.
Liverpool's line-up
Liverpool, meanwhile, make five changes from their midweek defeat to Fenerbahce: Ronald Araujo and Milos Kerkez return in defence at Selhurst Park, with Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz also back in the team.
Liverpool: Alisson (GK), Araujo, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gakpo, Barcola, Isak.
Subs: Mamardashvili (GK), Gomez, Endo, Tsimikas, Munoz, Nyoni, McConnell, Koumas, Ngumoha.
