M. Meyer has scored a goal for Crystal Palace! Assist by C. Wickham.
Wickham used his strength to knock the ball down, perfect for Meyer to run onto and he was in the right place at the right time to slot the ball home.
GOOOAAALLL! Palace have another goal! It's 4-3, what a game! The visitors haven't given up just yet. Wickham cushions the ball down for Meyer who smashes the ball past Alisson, to make it a very interesting at the end of the game.
90' +4

No hat-trick for Salah today, he is replaced by Camacho late on, who slots into the vacant right-back position.

S. Mané has scored a goal for Liverpool! Assist by A. Robertson.
GOOOAAALLL! Liverpool have their fourth goal! The hosts should now have the game wrapped up, it's 4-2 with just a couple minutes of added time remaining. The Reds broke forward on the counter, with Robertson feeding the striker and he then slides the ball underneath Speroni from a tight angle.
Robertson did brilliantly to keep the ball in play and then release Mane through on goal, who just manages to stay onside.

Minute
Description
79'
As it stands, Salah's 50th Premier League goal will send Liverpool seven points clear at the top of the table as Manchester City don't play until tomorrow.
75'
J. Schlupp enters the game and replaces C. Kouyaté.
Mohamed Salah has scored a goal for Liverpool!
Palace make their first change of the game in the aftermath of Liverpool's third goal, with Kouyate coming off and he has been replaced by Schlupp.
GOOOAAALLL! Liverpool take the lead once again, it's now 3-2! Huge mistake by Speroni and it hands Salah one of the easiest goals he will ever score in a Liverpool shirt. Milner was played in-behind and he just manages to keep the ball in, chipping the ball into the air and Speroni fails to deal with the ball, tipping it behind him and Salah races in to smash the ball into the net on the goal line. It looks like the Palace keeper tried to tip the ball over the crossbar, but he got it all wrong.
71'
X. Shaqiri enters the game and replaces N. Keïta.
Liverpool make the first substitution of the game, with Keita coming off and he has been replaced by Shaqiri.
69'
Good goalkeeping by Speroni! The Palace is called into action to deny Salah and Mane from close range, smothering their shots from just a couple of yards out.
67'
The urgency is back from Liverpool, they allowed the tempo to drop after scoring their second goal and Palace have punished them.
65'
J. Tomkins has scored a goal for Crystal Palace! Assist by L. Milivojević.
Milivojevic whipped the ball into the penalty area from the set piece, straight onto the head of Tomkins who produces a fine header.
GOOOAAALLL! Palace equaliser, it's 2-2! The visitors have their first corner of the game after Ayew's shot is blocked. Tomkins is unmarked at the far post, he powers his header into the bottom corner. He made it look easy, but poor defending by Liverpool to allow Palace back into this game.
62'
Almost! Palace do break forward quickly, with Zaha down the left, he pulls the ball back but this time Liverpool have defenders in the right places. A scramble ensues as the ball bounces dangerously around the box, but Fabinho eventually clears the danger.
61'
Palace are waiting for an opportunity to break forward on the counter and you can sense that they will get another goalscoring chance today.
59'
Milner and Robertson are pressing so high up the pitch from the full-back positions, that Zaha and Townsend are back in their own half defending so when Palace do get the ball, they only have isolated Ayew as an outlet.
57'
It's all one-way traffic at the moment, with Liverpool pushing for a third goal that might clinch the victory. Palace don't look as assured at the back now and the Reds are finding spaces all over the pitch to play into.
53'
Roberto Firmino has scored a goal for Liverpool! Assist by N. Keïta.
Keita finds himself out on the left wing, plays the ball into the path of Firmino, who shows great composure with the finish.
GOOOAAALLL! Liverpool take the lead, it's 2-1! Firmino is given far too much time and space in the box as he is fed the ball by Keita, he has time to control the ball and then pick his spot, placing the ball in the bottom corner, with a slight deflection taking it out of the reach of Speroni.
51'
The home crowd are roaring their team forward now as Palace sit deeper and deeper, unable to stick to their midfield five at the moment as the hosts are playing with such pace and intensity.
49'
Liverpool can sense another goal is their's for the taking now, they are piling players forward and putting the visitors under a lot of pressure, playing with much more pace than the first half.
47'
Really poor defending by Palace in the lead up to the goal, with Sakho and Van Aanholt getting in each others way as they attempt to clear the ball, it's a poor clearance which fell straight to Van Dijk, whose long range shot was blocked by McArthur and Salah capitalised.
46'
Mohamed Salah has scored a goal for Liverpool!
The second half is underway!
GOOOAAALLL! Liverpool are back in the game just seconds after the restart, it's 1-1! Salah with the equalising goal, a real poachers goal after a long range deflected shot by Van Dijk loops up in the box and Speroni gets caught in two minds, whether to come and collect or stay on his line. In the end he gets caught in no man's land and Salah sneaks in to flick the ball past the Palace keeper, with no defenders anywhere near him.
45' +2
HALF-TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-1 PALACE
45'
There will be a minimum of two minutes added time played.
44'
Just a couple of minutes left until the break now, can Liverpool find an equalising goal before the half-time whistle?
42'
J. Ayew gets yellow.
Ayew is shown the first yellow card of the game after he catches Henderson late.
40'
Penalty shout! Salah goes down in the box under pressure by Sakho and Milivojevic, but it's very soft and the Palace players are furious with the Egyptian. The referee isn't interested in giving a penalty but does have to break up a few players, as the visitors are unhappy with Salah's actions.
36'
Good block! Milner on the attack at the other end, he races into the box and fires an effort towards goal but Sakho gets across brilliantly and makes a superb block.
34'
A. Townsend has scored a goal for Crystal Palace! Assist by W. Zaha.
Space opened up for Zaha and he sprints past Milner, gets to the byline and pulls the ball back to Townsend, who just had Alisson to beat in the Liverpool goal.
GOOOAAALLL! Palace lead 1-0! The goal comes against the run of play, with the visitors breaking forward on the counter-attack and they have the lead at Anfield. Zaha bursts past Milner down the right wing, gets into the box and pulls the ball back to Townsend who was sprinting into the area and he slides the ball under Alisson and into the back of the net.
32'
Another good effort! Van Dijk rises highest in the box as the ball is whipped into the Palace penalty area, he powers a header towards goal but it takes a deflection and goes just over the bar.
31'
Free-kick to Liverpool in a very good position just outside the penalty area as Sakho plays a poor ball to Kouyate and the midfielder gets the ball nicked off him by Milner, subsequently bringing the right-back down. The Palace defender should be clearing his lines there.
30'
Close! Matip isn't too far away with a header as Milner whips a corner into the penalty area. The centre-back got above his marker and powered a header down towards the far post, but it drifts just wide.
28'
Roy Hodgson should be quite pleased with his sides performance so far, they will have been expecting to be under a lot of pressure today and they've coped well defensively.
26'
The Palace spell didn't last for very long, it's the hosts who are now back in control. However, Zaha has been a good outlet for the visitors, drawing a couple of fouls and running at players in order give his defenders some breathing space.
24'
Good spell here for Palace, they've kept the ball well and are now enjoying some possession in the Liverpool half of the pitch, with Townsend and Zaha switching wings to good effect.
21'
Another corner for Liverpool now as Speroni is unable to stop a deflected cross from going out of play. Salah whips the ball into the box and is met by Mane but it's straight at Speroni who makes a comfortable save.
19'
Not joy yet for Liverpool, the visitors appear to have weathered the storm for now and despite the Matip chance early on, the Reds haven't carved open any other goalscoring oportunities.
17'
The visitors need to try and get Townsend and Zaha on the ball down the wings, especially Zaha so he can run at Milner who is not a natural right-back.
15'
The pressure is constant as Palace are unable to string a couple of passes together, they are just smashing the ball forward in order to get the ball away from danger, so it's all coming straight back at them.
13'
Good effort! Firmino takes on Townsend on the edge of the box, uses Robertson's overlapping run to his advantage as the Palace man doesn't know where to go. The Brazilian cuts inside and fires a curling effort towards the far post, but it flies over the crossbar.
10'
It could be a long afternoon for Palace, they've hardly touched the ball so far and they are camped deep inside their own half as the Liverpool pressure continues.
7'
Liverpool with the first corner of the game after Robertson's cross is blocked. Salah whips a low ball into the box but it evades everyone, however the Liverpool pressure continues.
5'
Ayew is having to do all the chasing up top on his own, with Townsend and Zaha penned back in a defensive formation and the visitors are sitting very deep already here, allowing Liverpool to have the ball in the middle of the pitch.
3'
Early Liverpool possession here, but Palace are managing to keep them away from their final third as they drop into a midfield five. Liverpool will be wary of quick counter-attacks by the visitors, with Townsend and Zaha down the wings.
1'
We're underway!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at Anfield.
Liverpool could go seven points clear at the top of the table today if they can beat Palace, as Manchester City don't play until tomorrow. The Reds had suffered two straight defeats in the league, but bounced back last weekend with a 1-0 victory over Brighton to give themselves some breathing space.
Palace are in decent form themselves, having taken 10 points from their last six games, to move up to 14th position. However, they suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Watford last weekend.
LIVERPOOL (4-3-3): Alisson Becker; James Milner, Virgil Van Dijk, Joel Matip, Andrew Robertson; Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita; Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino
LIVERPOOL SUBS: Simon Mignolet, Daniel Sturridge, Alberto Moreno, Adam Lallana, Xherdan Shaqiri, Divock Origi, Rafael Camacho
PALACE (4-5-1): Julian Speroni; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, James Tomkins, Mamadou Sakho, Patrick Van Aanholt; Andros Townsend, James McArthur, Luka Milivojevic, Cheikhou Kouyate, Wilfried Zaha; Jordan Ayew
PALACE SUBS: Joe Tupper, Scott Dann, Max Meyer, Jeffrey Schlupp, Christian Benteke, Connor Wickham, Martin Kelly
The teams are out on the pitch and kick-off is just a few moments away, stay tuned for all of the match action!
Liverpool have dominated much of the first half, with more possession but they haven't been able to break down this resilient Palace side. The hosts went close early on with Matip forcing Speroni into making a good save from close range, but that's as close as they have come to scoring. Palace always looked dangerous on the counter-attack and that's how they managed to take the lead, Townsend firing home after an excellent move by the visitors.
Zaha burst past Milner down the right and played a perfect ball for Townsend who fired the ball past Alisson, who apart from the goal hasn't had anything to do. Liverpool have lacked a clinical touch in the final third and are struggling to break down the visitors midfield five. Plenty to do in the second half if they are to get back into the game.
That's all from us today folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
Liverpool now have a break in their schedule, facing Leicester at Anfield next time out. Whilst Palace turn their attentions to the FA Cup, they face Tottenham at Selhurst Park on Sunday, before returning to league action in midweek as they travel to Southampton.
