KEY EVENT
PLAYER RATINGS: Jones and 2 more stand out
That was certainly a much harder afternoon than it looked like it would be when Diogo Jota scored early in the first half.
Liverpool really should have made lighter work of that, and should have been out of sight long befoe that nervy finish.
but they've managed to come through with another three points.
Matt Addison was at Selhurst Park for us, and he has passed his verdict - here are his player ratings following that victory.

PALACE 0-1 LIVERPOOLKEY EVENT
Full-time
That's it, they made it much harder work than they should have, but Liverpool see off Crystal Palace with a 1-0 win.
We'll bring you all the reaction to that victory, which looks to have come at some cost as Alisson Becker limps his way off the pitch.

Substitution
Vitezslav Jaros makes his way on to replace the injured Alisson.
Andy Robertson is also coming on for Tsimikas

Alisson injury
This is a worry.
Alisson has gone down, and he's holding his hamstring.
He's already taken his gloves off - he looks like he's going to have to come off here.

72' Substitution
Second Liverpool change, and here's a sight you don't often see.
It's Salah who's making his way off, with Luis Diaz replacing him.

70' Alisson saves
Alisson called into action again - this time, it's Eze who stings the palms of the Brazilian with a powerful effort from distance.
From the resultant corner, Alisson has to be alert again as he punches the ball away on his own goal line.

64' Alisson save
And there's the danger of not taking your chances - Alisson is called into action with a routine stop to deny Nketiah after a bit of sloppy play from Liverpool inside their own half.
The Reds could really do with finding a second just to ease things for themselves.

62' Chance!
Liverpool should be home and dry by now.
It's another golden opportunity for Jota, who gets his head to Alexander-Arnold's free-kick, but skews his effort wide.

Close to a second for Liverpool as Salah is denied by Henderson at point-blank range!

55' Chance
Good build-up again from Liverpool as it's played along the line toward Alexander-Arnold, whose ball across is pushed out by Henderson.
A fairly sedate start to the second half so far, hopefully the Reds can find a second here soon.

Half-time
Not long after that chance for Palace, the referee brings an end to the firts half.
Liverpool ahead, although they should probably have made the scoreline a bit more comfortable for themselves.

45+2' Big save from Alisson
Huge save from Alisson as he keeps Sarr out, with the Brazilian at full stretch.
That certainly would have been a big kick in the teeth for the Reds had that gone in.

45' Stoppage time
Two minutes added on here.
Plenty of threat from set-pieces again though.

34' Jota chance!
How's he missed that?!
Brilliant work again from Gravenberch as he links up with Salah down the right before picking out the perfect ball to Jota, who's in acres of space in the penalty area, but he gets his finish all wrong as he somehow side-foots it away.
PALACE 0-1 LIVERPOOLJames Findlater
31' Yellow card
Cody Gakpo goes into the book for a foul on Sarr.
It's a foul, but not sure it warranted a yellow card.

29' Alexander-Arnold chance
It sits up nicely for Alexander-Arnold to strike from distance, but Henderson manages to push the effort out - he was made to stretch for that, and it's a good save in fairness.
PALACE 0-1 LIVERPOOLJames Findlater
28' Gakpo chance
Good build-up from Liverpool as they knock the ball about confidently.
Gravenberch is looking absolutely supreme in midfield again.
It's worked over to Gakpo on the left, who cuts inside just outside the penalty area and looks to curl one in, but he's started it too high and wide.

17' Substitution
The hosts are forced into an early change, with former Red Nathaniel Clyne replacing the injured Daniel Munoz.
PALACE 0-1 LIVERPOOLJames Findlater
14' Close!
Alexander-Arnold finds Salah, who plays the ball toward the near post where Mac Allister is running on to it.
The midfielder lets it run rather than trying to guide it home, perhaps expecting a teammate to be behind him, but Henderson parries it out.
PALACE 0-1 LIVERPOOLJames Findlater
Jota the slotter
Pretty much Liverpool's first chance of the game, and they make it count.
Gakpo slides the ball across for Jota after a terrific pass from Tsimikas.
Jota scores!
Liverpool have the lead, and it's Diogo Jota!
PALACE 0-0 LIVERPOOLJames Findlater
1' Goal disallowed
Almost the worst possible start for Liverpool as Palace has the ball in the back of the net after just 20 seconds.
Nketiah just strayed offside before poking the ball home - big let-off for the Reds.
