Welcome to the Evening Standard's LIVE Premier League match build-up to Crystal Palace vs Liverpool.
League leaders Liverpool are back in action today as Jurgen Klopp's side head to Selhurst Park for what could be a tough test against Roy Hodgson's Eagles.
Palace have struggled after a strong start, though in truth it was to be expected given that Hodgson's side have faced Chelsea, Leicester City, Arsenal and Manchester City in their last four games.
Klopp will have made his players acutely aware that they cannot afford to take Palace for granted, and will want a result to ensure they keep hold of their eight-point lead at the top of the table ahead of a hectic run of festive fixtures.
A few Liverpool players and fans will also have that infamous 'Crystanbul' 3-3 draw from 2014 in the back of their minds, and are hoping that history does not repeat itself in terms of Selhurst being the site for another title challenge coming undone - even this early in the season.
