by Liverpool vs Crystal Palace – LIVE!
Liverpool are looking to return to Anfield later today as they chase the Premier League title ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s departure. It obviously remains to be seen whether last weekend’s draw with Manchester United is costly in the title race but Klopp will want to ensure his side at least have some kind of response to Thursday night’s defeat to Atalanta.
The Reds are also welcoming back key players. Diogo Jota is back, and Trent Alexander-Arnold looks set to follow suit as Klopp prepares for his final games in charge of Liverpool.
Palace, meanwhile, have a history with Liverpool in the title race but haven’t won since February. Still, they gave Manchester City problems last time out and there have been promising signs from the Oliver Glasner era so far. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated game blog!
