Liverpool vs Crystal Palace LIVE!
Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 3-1 in the Premier League at Anfield on Saturday.
The resurgent Reds are up to fourth in the table after a third consecutive top-flight win to follow their dramatic Merseyside derby triumph, leapfrogging Aston Villa after the latter’s lunchtime defeat by Fulham and now behind Manchester United on goals scored only, with their rivals meeting Brentford on Monday night before then hosting Arne Slot’s side at Old Trafford next weekend.
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace highlights
Some nervy moments late on at Anfield but resurgent Liverpool rise above Aston Villa into fourth place with a third straight Premier League win.
They are now behind rivals Manchester United - who host Brentford on Monday night - by virtue of having scored only one goal fewer so far this season, with their goal differences identical.
The two sides go head to head at Old Trafford next weekend of course.
Liverpool will be hoping that Mohamed Salah injury is not too serious, while I’m sure Arne Slot will have plenty to say about that controversial Daniel Munoz goal.
Alexander Isak back on the scoresheet is a very welcome sight in light of Hugo Ekitike’s absence.
Certainly not a bad performance by any means from Crystal Palace, who stay 13th and six points adrift of the top seven with five games to go.
They travel to Bournemouth next weekend, but all eyes will first be on the first leg of their Conference League semi-final tie against Shakhtar Donetsk in Krakow on Thursday night.
