31 mins - Crystal Palace 0 Liverpool 0: After a frenetic start in the capital both sides appear to now be taking a breather. Liverpool have shown they are ready to fight it out with Palace but it's the hosts who are winning the physical battle thus far.

38 mins - Crystal Palace 0 Liverpool 0: Patience is the order of the day with Palace's defence appearing in no mood to give anything away at present. Daniel Sturridge, on the bench, would lover a match like this, one crying out for a predator in the box.

HT: Not the best of halves at Selhurst Park but it is Crystal Palace who carved out the greater of the opportunities. Liverpool are yet to register a shot on target. Time for a brew.

And the second half begins! We're back under way in the capital with Palace hoping to avoid an eleventh match without success.

GOOAALL! Crystal Palace 1 Liverpool 0 - Joe Ledley

48 mins: Ping ball in the Liverpool box as the guests refuse several opportunities to clear the danger before allowing the ball to fall at Joe Ledley's feet. The Welshman, on the edge of the penalty area, riffles it past Simon Mignolet and puts Palace into a deserved lead. Can the Eagles hold on to it?

57 mins - Crystal Palace 1 Liverpool 0: This has been a good reaction to going behind by Liverpool as they hassle and press Palace into making a succession of errors. Still plenty of time for the visitors to cancel the arrears in the capital.. a fact Alan Pardew won't need reminding of.

RED CARD! James MIlner, Liverpool

61 mins: Well, well, well. This afternoon has just gone from bad to worse for Jurgen Klopp with James Milner being punished for a second bookable offence. Palace within touching distance of their first Premier League win since December.

GOAL! Crystal Palace 1 Liverpool 1 - Roberto Firmino

71 mins: Right place, right time for Roberto Firmino who capitalises on an awful error by Alex McCarthy to give Liverpool a scarcely deserved equaliser. That's what happens when you're at the bottom and, while Palace should be safe, more moments like that could see them plunge yet further into the mire.

86 mins - Crystal Palace 1 Liverpool 1: So close to a Liverpool winner as Alberto Moreno thunders the ball against the post! It would have been scarcely deserved - judging by their earlier efforts - but Jurgen Klopp's men have stepped up in the latter stages. Can they go and and knick it?
