Crystal Palace were the last team to beat Liverpool at home in the Premier League, in April 2017, and they travel to Anfield this weekend.

League leaders Liverpool got back to winning ways with a disciplined 1-0 win at Brighton last week, and can stretch their lead at the top to seven ahead of Manchester City’s game at Huddersfield on Sunday.

After losing 2-1 at home to Watford last week, Roy Hodgson’s team lie in 14th place on 22 points, but just four points off the relegation zone. Follow the live action below.

What time does it start?

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace kicks off at 3:00pm (GMT) on Saturday 19th January.

Where can I watch it?

The match will not be shown live on TV or online in the UK.

Independent Sport will keep you up to date with all the goals as they fly in via our live blog.

Highlights will be shown at 10:20pm on BBC One.

Player to watch…

Mohamed Salah: The Egyptian was once again the match-winner last week at Brighton, winning and scoring the penalty which secured three important points. Currently joint top-scorer in the Premier League on 14 goals alongside Harry Kane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Salah is at times being deployed as a central striker, a role he is thriving in as Liverpool look to stay clear of Manchester City.

Odds…

Liverpool to win: 2/11

Crystal Palace to win: 15/1

Draw: 6/1

Prediction:

Liverpool to win 3-0

Watford 0-0 Burnley, 4 minutes

All the action is at Vicarage Road in these early stages, and James Tarkowski is forced to clear of the line!

Troy Deeney is again the architect, finding Ken Sema who's shot is just about turned away by Tarkowski.

​Liverpool 0-0 Crystal Palace, 8 minutes

First opening at Anfield, and the returning Joel Matip forces Julian Speroni into a save after James Milner's cross. The experienced Argentinian stopper is equal to the effort.

A lovely tribute at Anfield ahead of kick-off

Newcastle 0-0 Cardiff, 13 minutes

Ayoze Perez forces Neil Etheridge into a diving save from a Newcastle corner. Good stuff from the Cardiff keeper.

Harry Latham-Coyle19 January 2019 15:14

Manchester United 0-0 Brighton, 13 minutes

A quiet start at Old Trafford.

Shane Duffy drifts in at the far post but heads straight at David De Gea, who catches with relative comfort.

Harry Latham-Coyle19 January 2019 15:15

A similarly touching tribute to Sir Matt Busby at Old Trafford 25 years on from his passing.

Southampton 0-0 Everton, 15 minutes

Top stop from Jordan Pickford!

He does superbly to get down to his left as Danny Ings flicks a header towards goal.

Harry Latham-Coyle19 January 2019 15:18

And continuing the theme of great tributes, Watford and Graham Taylor. A day tinged with sadness at a number of Premier League grounds...

Harry Latham-Coyle19 January 2019 15:19

Newcastle 0-0 Cardiff, 19 minutes

Ayoze Perez crosses but can't beat Joe Bennett. It appears the ball may have struck the Cardiff defender's arm, but Stuart Attwell is unmoved despite the hosts' protests.

Harry Latham-Coyle19 January 2019 15:20

Bournemouth 0-0 West Ham, 21 minutes

Bournemouth have the ball in the net, but it is offside!

Ryan Fraser's cross is a good one and Nathan Ake finds the goal with his header, but the linesman's flag is up and it will not stand. Callum Wilson is the offending party, and deemed to be interfering with play.

Good start from the home side at the Vitality.
