Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Liverpool's match against Crystal Palace.

Adrian Mariappa comes up with a timely tackle to win the ball from Suarez in the visiting area.

Suarez with a handling offence under pressure from Ward. Palace can relieve some of the pressure. For the moment at least.

Liverpool are the highest first half scorers this season with 10 Premier League goals and joint best defensive side in the first half after conceding just once.

Gayle replaces Kebe, while Campana takes over from Jerome for Palace at the break. They might be content to get out of this losing 3-0 the way this afternoon has gone.

Sakho rises to head a corner a few yards wide of goal. Liverpool on the front foot from the outset of this half.

Off we go then with this second half.

Speroni with another excellent stop to prevent Suarez from finding the net. The whistle sounds for the break. Liverpool lead 3-0 at Anfield.

Jedinak miles wide of goal with an effort as if to sum up Palace's struggles in the first period.

Steven Gerrard scores his 99th Premier League goal for Liverpool. Not a bad return from the club captain who side are occupying their highest league position of first spot since 1996.

The referee made that penalty call on the advice of the linesman. Not sure the referee would have awareded any sort of foul against the visiting side there.

All Liverpool at the moment. And then some as Sturridge fires another shot at goal that Speroni holds.

Moses knocks the ball off the bar from four yards. Brilliant work by Suarez again with the cross. How did that stay out.

GOAL! Gerrard plants the penalty to his left, Speroni flew to his left. First goal of the season for the Liverpool captain. Liverpool lead 3-0.

PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL! Sterling taken out of the action late by Moxey. Looked like it was just outside of the box. Very harsh on Palace. Was outside of the box.

Newcastle’s last 11 Premier League goals have been scored by Frenchmen. The Premier League record for most successive Premier League goals from a foreign nationality for a single club is 12 French goals in a row for Arsenal from March to April 2004.

Jerome can't control the ball on the run as Henderson smuggles the pass back to Mignolet.

Nice piece of play again involving Suarez and Sturridge. Palace scramble the ball clear, but that partnership continues to flourish.

Offside flag goes up against Suarez after he set off too soon.

Jerome with a fine cross, but Sakho almost shanks the cross into his own net in rushing the clearance. So fortunate to escape an own goal there.

Liverpool have never lost a home Premier League match when leading by a two-goal margin. They last failed to win at Anfield when two goals ahead in a 2-2 draw with Birmingham in September 2002, over 11 years ago.

Ward with the cross, buit Kolo Toure with the clearing header. Palace looking to reduce their arrears before the break.
