C Palace v Liverpool

BARCOLA HAS TO BE HITTING THE TARGET!! Liverpool create their best chance of the game so far as Szoboszlai picks out Barcola at the back post. The Frenchman has plenty of time to adjust before the ball comes his way, but he makes a complete mess of the shot, which he blazes high over the crossbar. Barcola simply has to be doing better with that.

Liverpool have looked the more dominant, but the best chances have undoubtedly fallen Palace's way in this first half. The home side could easily have one or two goals to their name already.

PALACE SCORE...BUT THE FLAG IS UP!! The hosts think they've taken the lead as Pino's shot deflects off Mac Allister and into the path of Strand Larsen, who duly finishes from close range. The offside flag is raised against the Palace forward, though, and it won't count! Liverpool breathe a sigh of relief.

STRAND LARSEN SHOULD BE DOING BETTER!! Palace launch a counter down the right through Kamada, who picks out Strand Larsen in space just outside the Liverpool box. The Palace forward then drives before shooting with his right, but Van Dijk recovers to make an important block. Strand Larsen has to get a shot off quicker there.

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is unbeaten in all 13 of his Premier League away games so far in 2026, with his last loss on the road coming at Brentford last December. Only three managers have been unbeaten in 14+ from the start of a calendar year – Alex Ferguson (14 in 1999), José Mourinho (14 in 2005) and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (15 in 2021).

Liverpool win yet another corner down the right through Gakpo. Once again, it's Szoboszlai who takes it and finds the head of Jacquet, but the Frenchman can't keep his effort down, and the ball flies over the crossbar.
