Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool: Barclays Premier League as it happened

FULL TIME: Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool

Benteke, cool as you like, sends McCarthy the wrong the way. Liverpool have won this right at the death.

Goal! Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool (Christian Benteke, 90+)

In the last seconds of injury time. Liverpool are awarded a penalty! Delaney comes across to Benteke and goes to ground, but there looks to be no contact between the players.

PENALTY - Liverpool

McCarthy denies Benteke! The Belgian beats Delaney to drift into the box but his shot is too close to the Palace goalkeeper.

Four minutes of added time to play at Selhurst Park.

Bolasie now comes over to the right in space but his ball into the box is a poor one that is cleared by the first man.

Moreno denied by the woodwork! Delaney halts Coutinho with a fine interception on the edge of the D but Moreno meets the follow up with a sweet left-footed strike that comes back off the inside of the far post. The ball is retrieves and flung back into the box for Coutinho, but he gets a scissor kick all wrong and misses the ball completely.

Sako takes it, but blasts it high and wide. Huge waste.

Moreno is the latest player to be booked after a challenge on Zaha out on the right wing.

Just under 10 minutes remain at Selhurst Park.

Here's a double change for Palace with Dwight Gaykle and Bacart Sako on for Joe Ledley and Adebayor.

Great chance for Benteke who has just come off the bench as Lovren's flick on falls to him at the near post, but he can't steer it past McCarthy.

Firmino steps across Bolasie in what looks like a clear foul with Palace on the attack, but the referee waves play on. Bizarre decision.

BREAKING: Chris Smalling returns at centre-half alongside Daley Blind while Fellaini takes a spot on the bench. Marcus Rashford continues up top but Memphis Depay drops to the bench.

Manchester United team to face West Brom: De Gea, Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Herrera, Lingard, Mata, Martial, Rashford.

Subs: Romero, Fosu-Mensah, Varela, Schneiderlin, Weir, Fellaini, Memphis.

Disaster for Alex McCarthy. He makes a mess of a simple back pass, slipping and drilling the ball straight at Firmino. He takes ball a couple of yards inside the penalty area and provides the cool finish, slotting past the Palace goalkeeper.

Goal! Crystal Palace 1-1 Liverpool (Roberto Firmino, 71)

A change for Palace, Mutch is onto replace Cabaye with 20 minutes of the match remaining.

Firmino cuts inside the Palace box and slides one through for Lallana cut tries to cut a ball back across goal for Origi, but Dann sticks near him and defends well. Palace somehow win the goal kick, too.

Firmino tries his luck from range but it is a fairly easy save for McCarthy.

Palace defend brilliantly again as Lallana threatens to jink through but Delaney keeps his eye on the ball and makes a vital interception.

Can looks to have moved to centre half alongside Sakho with Lovren moving to right back.

Liverpool are down to 10 men! Booked for a late challenge in the first half, the Liverpool skipper is shown for a second yellow for sliding again in on Zaha, attempting to halt a Palace counter.

RED CARD - James Milner

An hour on the clock, Jurgen Klopp makes his first change of the game, bringing Philippe Coutinho on for Flanagan.

Adebayor is having a bad few moments; a couple of time he has tried to hold the ball up for his side but has either being muscled off the ball or overhit a simple pass.

Moreno is caught in possession on the half way line and Zaha can spring forward with the ball but the referee pulls play back for a foul on the Spaniard.

Lots of pressure from Liverpool now but the Palace defence holds firm. The home side need someone to relieve the pressure on them at the minute.

Palace fans scream for a hand ball as Abebayor nods a free kick down against Lovren but the referee isn't interested.

Liverpool immediately march up the other end and Ward denies Origi with a fine block to prevent an immediate equaliser.

Palace lead! Soare forces a corner and fires one on goal set piece after it falls to him just outside the six yard area. It's blocked but Liverpool are unable to clear their lines and Ledley gets onto the loose ball and lashes a low effort through a crowd of player and into the bottom corner.

Goal! Crystal Palace 1-0 Liverpool (Joe Ledley, 47)

A sore one for Sakho as he lands on the outstretched leg of Sakho, dragging his studs down his thigh as he lands. Didn't look intentional, looked very painful though,

And Palace get us back underway for the second half.

HALF TIME: Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

Ward lashes a ridiculously ambitious half volley on goal with the outside of his boot that is nowhere on target, but Jedinak almost manages to pull it out of their air inside the box before it gets away from him. Just one minute of time added on here.

Liverpool spring clear on the counter after a series of Palace corners but a poor touch from Can as he approaches the final third sees it break down. Moments later Zaha threatens to break on the counter but Can makes up for his earlier mistake with a fine sliding interception to win the ball back.

Oooof, that's a nasty one from Milner. The Reds skipper slides in late on Cabaye, catching his trailing leg. That will be a booking.

Cabaye flings another one into the box that Scott Dann can reach, but his header is straight at Mignolet.

Lovren now crashes into the back of Bolasie to win a free kick for his side a good 30 yards out. That was clever from the Palace forward, got to the ball ahead of his man and waited for the challenge.

Bolasie does tremendously well with above three Liverpool players on him, cutting across goal before lifting a wonderful ball back across to the far post for Adebayor, but the striker doesn't anticipate it and Flanagan can clear.

Palace finally manage to clear and Zaha threatens to break but Moreno does just enough to hold him up.

Milner takes it and thrashes one on goal, but it comes off Bolasie and out for a corner.

Firmino comes short for a pass from Henderson and is fouled by Cabaye. It was a clumsy challenge and Liverpool have a decent chance here from about 25 yards out.

Can't heavy touch allows the ball to roll to Origi who tries an ambitious curling effort from just outside of the box. It is a fine effort, but it won't drop quick enough and sails over.

Cabaye pings one in and Delaney can't get any real control on his header, lifting it well over the bar.

Zaha gets one on one with Moreno for the first time and beats him with ease before he has taken down by a poor challenge from the fullback. Palace have a free kick that they can swing in from the right.

Lovely play from Palace as they swarm onto a poor Liverpool clearance. Zaha plays the one two with Cabaye, laying the through ball through for the onrushing Frenchman who bursts into the box but his drive flies just wide of the near post.

Zaha shows great footwork to skip inside Moreno inside his own half and past Origi but the Liverpool striker sticks out a leg to trip the winger. Zaha hasn't really had a chance to stretch his legs in the final third yet.

Alex McCarthy and Adebayor leap for the same ball from a Liverpool corner but Palace survive the gaffe.

Liverpool try to pass their way through with Lallana, Milner and Firmino combining before Ward intercepts Henderson's pass. Liverpool have started very brightly here, but Palaxce have enjoyed the better of the chances on the counter attack.

Cabaye lifts a ball out to Bolasie who nods it down first time for Adebayor. His first touch is a brilliant one, knocking it past Sakho but Lovren gets in front to block his ball across goal.

You would have expected Adebayor to have scored there. He had easily slipped past Sakho and a lot of the goal to aim for. The cross bar denied him.

Scott Dann has now been booked for hauling Origi down on the counter. It's a pretty breathless start in south east London.

Adebayor comes close twice! A shot from a narrow angle is well saved by Mignolet and from the resulting corner, the former Tottenham striker rises above his marker but his towering header comes back off the bar!

Milner hangs a brilliant cross up from the left but Firmino can't stretch far enough to make contact. Again, Palace look to break down the left wing but this time Bolasie is cut down by Henderson on the half way line. The Liverpool skipper picks up the first yellow of the game. Brilliant start to this game so far.

Scott Dann is off receiving treatment, he's picked up a cut to his head.

Slick stuff from Liverpool. Lallana elegantly lays a first time ball off for Firmino who has emerged on the right but his drilled ball into the box is stopped by McCarthy. Palace immediately break with Bolasie nodding onto Adebayor breaking down the left. He lifts a brilliant ball into the box for Bolasie who has continued into the box but Mignolet comes out to make a great block and deny the homeside an opener.

Sakho spreads the ball upfield to Milner whose first touch is a rather clumsy one, but he manages to win the first corner of the game off Joel Ward.

Souare flings a hopeful ball down the inside left channel to no one in particular, but Bolasie springs onto it, breaking the offside to retrieve the ball. He cuts inside looking to shoot with his right but Sakho keeps tight and makes a timely interception.

And Liverpool get us started at a rocking Selhurst Park.

The teams are making their way out from the tunnel onto the pitch; kick off is a couple of minutes away.

With Bournemouth winning again yesterday, Palace are now seriously looking over their shoulder. Their relegation form has seen them drop dangerously close to the drop zone and are now just seven points above 18th placed Norwich City.

Palace have won just one league game in their last 11, but if recent results are anything to go by, they firmly have Liverpool's number. The south east London club have won their last three league games against the Reds, spoiling a few parties along the way too. Their win at Anfield back in November consigned Klopp to his first defeat as Liverpool boss, while they ran riot in what was Steven Gerrard's last game for the club at the end of last season.

Before that winning streak, there was that 3-3 at Selhurst Park, where the Eagles came from three down to draw 3-3 in a game that ended Liverpool's title dreams.

Are Liverpool in with a shout of Champions League qualification? It seems unlikely, but three points this afternoon will move them up to seventh, just three points behind Manchester City.

Jurgen Klopp has opted not to recall Philippe Coutinho to his side this afternoon, he remains on the bench that has plenty of firepower on it in Daniel Sturridge. Oh, Christian Benteke is also there.

A couple of interesting selection decisions from Alan Pardew, then. Jordon Mutch drops to the bench while the manager has turned to Alex McCarthy to deputise rather than veteran Julian Speroni.

Alberto Moreno meanwhile returns to the team with Jon Flanagan moves back to right-back.

BREAKING: Divock Origi starts with Daniel Sturridge starting on the bench. Dejan Lovren and Mamdou Sakho return in defence.

Liverpool team to face Palace: Mignolet, Flanagan, Lovren, Sakho, Moreno, Henderson, Can, Milner, Lallana, Firmino, Origi.

Subs: Ward, Toure, Clyne, Allen, Coutinho, Sturridge, Benteke.

BREAKING: Connor Wickham misses out due to that foot injury with Emmanuel Adebayor coming back into the starting XI. Hennessey also misses out with Alan Pardew turning to Alex McCarthy oover Julian Speroni.

Palace team to face Liverpool: McCarthy; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare; Zaha, Jedinak (c), Cabaye, Ledley, Bolasie; Adebayor.

Subs: Speroni, Kelly, Lee, Mutch, Sako, Chamakh, Gayle

Mamadou Sakho also trained this week after he was taken off with that head injury in Sunday's Capital One Cup final.

TEAM NEWS: Crystal Palace

Jurgen Klopp has turned to Lucas Leiva in recent times to fill in at centre half but no longer has that option with the Brazilian ruled out for at least five weeks. Daniel Sturridge trained as normal this week after complaining of a foot cramp last Sunday - one that prevented him from taking a spot kick in the penalty shoot out with Crystal Palace.

TEAM NEWS: Liverpool

Connor Wickham has scored four goals in two games for Palace but a minor knock suffered in the 2-2 draw with Sunderland leaves him a doubt this afternoon. Alan Pardew must also make a late decision on goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, but does have Julian Speroni and Alex McCarthy in reserve. Papa Soare meanwhile is set to return to the first-team.
