Watford's new Brazilian starlet Richarlison has got his first goal for the club, scrambling home after his initial effort was blocked. And down to 10-men, West Ham have come from two goals behind with Javier Hernandez again pouncing in the box, jumping onto a loose ball after Forster made a remarkable save to stab home from five yards out.
Goals everywhere at the moment. Hal Robson-Kanu has given West Brom the lead at Turf Moor, finishing at the near post after reaching a knock on from Matt Phillips. Meanwhile at Anfield Liverpool have finally found the breakthrough with Sadio Mane reacting quickest, toe-poking into the back of the net after the ball spilled in front of him.
Frank de Boer makes two changes to the side that was humiliated by Huddersfield last week with Wilfreid Zaha's injury opening up a spot for Andros Townsend in the starting XI. James Tomkins is also in to replace new signing Jairo Riedewald. It's 3-4-3 again from the Dutchman, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek starting in a more advanced role.
Jurgen Klopp makes five changes to his side after naming the same XIs against Watford and Hoffeheim. Andy Robertson comes in for Alberto Moreno to make his debut for the club while Joe Gomez comes in for Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right. Ragnar Klavan is also in at the back to partner Dejan Lovren.
James Milner takes up his old role in midfield while record signing Mohamed Salah drops to the bench with Daniel Sturridge starting his first game of the season.
Frank de Boer's 3-4-3 formation didn't quite go to plan last weekend as his side fell to a humiliating defeat to newly promoted Huddersfield. The tactical switch has raised some eyebrows with former chairman Simon Jordan among those to question the change in the club's football philosophy but the Dutchman is adamant he can get it right.
"No, I'm not a manager who, if we lost 3-0, suddenly [changes things]. I already said I saw some positive things, so I'm not going to change the system for this game.
"I think we don't have to use excuses for our style of playing, because the system is not so difficult to play, it's quite easy. But the Premier League is so competitive you have to work always as a team to get a result."
Team news: Crystal Palace
Wilfried Zaha faces up to four weeks on the sidelines after a knee injury he picked up in the 3-0 defeat to Huddersfield Town last Saturday; a major blow given how the Ivory Coast has previously ran rings around today's opposition. Yohan Cabaye and James McArthur have recovered from knocks and are pushing for starting places.
Team news: Liverpool
Daniel Sturridge will be hoping to make his first appearance of the season today. Jurgen Klopp decided against bringing the England international out to Germany for the midweek Champions League playoff against Hoffenheim but spoke confidently about his striker's chances of featuring today.
Team news: Liverpool
The Philippe Coutinho transfer saga rumbles on with Liverpool rejecting a third bid from Barcelona for their playmaker on Friday, an offer said to be worth £114m. The Brazil international will not feature today however as he continues his recovery from a back injury.
Nathaniel Clyne is another absentee with Trent Alexander-Arnold, who netted that stunning free kick against Hoffenheim midweek, expected to fill in again. Adam Lallana meanwhile is facing three months on the sidelines due to a thigh injury.
Crystal Palace have a record to break this afternoon. Another win on the red half of Merseyside today will see them become the first team to win four consecutive top flight games at Anfield since Arsenal last achieved that feat in 1935.
Liverpool have struggled to deal with Palace on their own turf with their old boy Christian Benteke putting them to the sword last time they met, scoring twice as the Eagles returned to south east London with three points.
Liverpool are still struggling with the defensive woes that plagued them last season but with their new front three of Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, Premier League defences will be worried.
That is one of five 3pm fixtures we will be bringing you this afternoon; team news from all of them coming up.
