Liverpool 1-1 Crystal Palace: As it happened

Liverpool entertain Crystal Palace in their first home game of the season.

The reds were disappointing in their game away at Fulham but did at the least salvage a point.

Further injuries sustained will not have helped the reds but they will be hoping they can receive a boost from Anfield to kick start their season.

Palace lost their opening game so they too will have plenty of motivation to take advantage of Liverpool's slow start.
