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.

SAVE! Liverpool break quickly on the counter from the resulting corner, and it's played long for Salah to chase. He gets away from Guehi before taking the shot early, but it's another comfortable save for Guaita.

BLOCK! Ayew spins away from three Liverpool players before touching it back to Doucoure, who switches it out to Clyne. He clips it to Olise at the far post, and he hits it on the half-volley, but Keita sticks out a leg to block it.

Palace are growing in confidence, and they're keeping Liverpool penned back in their own half at the moment as they patiently work it forward.

It's a wonderful switch out to Olise, who has space down the right. Instead, he checks back and squeezes a dangerous cross into the six-yard box, but neither Mateta nor Schlupp can get on the end of it.

There's a nervy moment as Liverpool try to play it out from the back again. This time, Mateta chases down Alisson, who just manages to hook it upfield to Salah, but Palace quickly get it back.

Liverpool are starting to up the pressure here. Gakpo's cross pinballs its way through the box to Alexander-Arnold, who tries to recycle it. He has three to aim for in the middle but can only pick out Lokonga.

Alisson decides to go long with the clearance this time, and it looks like Clyne has it covered until Jota gets across. The right-back just manages to clear his lines, but only as far as Robertson.

CHANCE! Salah flicks the ball into a more central position to give Alexander-Arnold a better angle. He puts his laces through it, but it smacks Henderson on the side of the head and bounces wide. There are groans from the away end.
