Crystal Palace vs Liverpool LIVE score: Premier League result and reaction
Crystal Palace 0-0 Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp’s Reds endured a frustrating evening in London as they failed to break down Palace
Liverpool completed a difficult week with a frustrating 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace that did little to enhance their prospects of finishing in the Premier League’s top four.
Thrashed 5-2 at home by Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, Jurgen Klopp’s side laboured against a Palace side who well deserved their point.
Liverpool moved up a place to seventh in the table, six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur. Without a win in eight league games, Palace are 12th, six points above the relegation zone.
Mohamed Salah hit the woodwork for Liverpool in the second half but Palace had two gilt-edged chances in the first period with Marc Guehi heading wide and Jean-Philippe Mateta firing a shot against the crossbar.

Liverpool just can't get out of their own half at the moment as Palace up the pressure. Olise curls another cross in from the right, and Mateta glances it on, but there's no one at the far post.

Liverpool are caught out again, as Mitchell Schlupp bursts forward down the left this time. He has three players with him in support, but the final ball is poor as it's hit straight at Henderson.

Palace break quickly on the counter again, with Olise riding a challenge from Milner before switching it out to Ayew on the right. The cross lets him down though as it loops over everyone onto the roof of the net.

Mitchell finds himself in an advanced position down the left and tries to curl a low cross in. Milner misses it and Mateta is hovering in the middle, but Matip gets in front of him.

SAVE! Alexander-Arnold's corner causes chaos in the box, with three Palace players hitting the floor. It bounces back to Matip at the near post as his team-mates ask for a penalty again, and his volley is tipped wide by Guaita.

Robertson whips a free-kick into the far post from the right, and Van Dijk can't bring it under control. There are half-hearted shouts for a penalty for an alleged handball, but the referee shakes his head.

Again, Liverpool work it quickly down their right, with Salah picking out Alexander-Arnold's overlapping run. His cross almost catches out Guaita, who has to parry it over the bar.
