Liverpool 4-2 Crystal Palace
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Anfield
Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni's error gifted Liverpool the win to keep them on track in the title race after the Premier League leaders had almost squandered their advantage in a 4-3 victory at Anfield.
The Argentinian, who turns 40 in May, was making his first appearance since December 2017 because of injuries to Wayne Hennessey and Vicente Guaita.
After an unexpectedly quiet first half the heat was turned up on Speroni and the pressure eventually told with the score at 2-2 when he palmed James Milner's bouncing cross up in the air virtually into his own net before Mohamed Salah made it 3-2 on the goalline.
It was the Egypt international's 50th Premier League strike in 72 matches - only Andrew Cole, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Alan Shearer achieved the landmark in fewer appearances - having previously scored the goal to get Jurgen Klopp's side back on track at the start of the second half.

Score prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Crystal Palace
