Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of Liverpool and Crystal Palace. The Reds are seeking their first league win of the season - after drawing 3-3 at Watford on the opening day - but they'll have to do so without want-away Philippe Coutinho who conveniently remains injured... Crystal Palace, meanwhile, were humiliated by Huddersfield, the Premier League new boys, last weekend and you sense Frank de Boer is already under pressure.

Firmino is now operating down the middle, with Salah and Mane either side. Probably Liverpool's best front three? They have just over 20 minutes to prove it.
65'
And still the match remains goalless. Liverpool are making hard work of this. Klopp needs to find a way for his team to lift the tempo as Palace are finding it too comfortable at the moment.
