Crystal Palace 0-1 Liverpool
Really good strength from Kostas Tsimikas to prevent Ismaila Sarr getting on a run and getting a shot away.
We'll have two minutes added on at the end of the half. Palace will hope they can get in at half time trailing by just the one goal, despite Liverpool's dominance.

The Palace setup is all wrong. Outnumbered in midfield, they can't press Liverpool's build-up at all. There is no pressure on the ball, even in their deep block

Alexis Mac Allister shifts the ball across for Kostas Tsimikas on the edge of the penalty area but his left-footed effort is blocked, much to the relief of Dean Henderson.

Marc Guehi heads behind and Liverpool have another corner, their seventh of the match.
Virgil van Dijk is the target for Trent Alexander-Arnold's delivery but there's a bit too much on the Liverpool captain's header and it goes over.

Gakpo is a magnificent player. Tracking back, pace, vision. Really coming on after a slow start at LFC

Will we see changes from Oliver Glasner at half time? He will need to tweak something to get something from this game, it's been utter dominance from Liverpool so far.

I know it is still early days into the season. The most notable difference I see the team playing is in the final third. Under Klopp, the front three would all like to get a shot from around the box. But under Slot, they're putting nice one two passes in the final third. Even Salah is playing one two.

Oh you just expect Diogo Jota to score that! Ryan Gravenberch finds the Portugal forward in space in the area but his sidefooted effort goes just wide.
Had that gone in it would've already looked like a long way back for Crystal Palace.

Palace need a target.
Their best chance of the game was when they shelled it forward. They're now playing it out from the back and they're putting themselves under pressure.

Lots of pressure from Liverpool, will they regret not making it pay more.

At the moment Palace cannot get a pass right.
Dean Henderson makes a good save off Trent Alexander-Arnold's shot. Nathaniel Clyne is there to play his pass, but the ball trickles out!

A lot of mistakes from the Crystal Palace team so far. the home supporters are starting to get frustrated.
Nathaniel Clyne just mistimed a clearance and gave away a corner as he allowed the ball to go over the line.
Crystal Palace 0-1 Liverpool
Trent Alexander-Arnold fancies a go from range, low and driven and Dean Henderson makes the save down to his right-hand side.
Then there seems to be a bit of confusion as Nathaniel Clyne needlessly gives away a corner while attempting to clear the ball.
Luckily for him, the resulting corner comes to nothing.

If Klopp had moved two seasons ago Slot could really have delivered with the squad when it was at its peak.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt's all been a bit easy for Liverpool so far. Crystal Palace just can't get hold of the ball and most of the football is being played in their own half, if not defensive third.
Arne Slot's side have had more than 80% possession so far.
Crystal Palace 0-1 Liverpool
It's lovely play again from Liverpool, quick one or two-touch passing around the box and it takes a Tyrick Mitchell block to turn behind for a corner.
Marc Guehi heads it behind and the Reds will have another go but Kostas Tsimikas' delivery is cleared.

Ryan Gravenberch is getting so much time to dictate the game. He's being allowed to pick his passes in so much space.

Liverpool have a corner and Jefferson Lerma does enough to clear it away. Crystal Palace look to get on the counter but it's a wasted opportunity as Tyrick Mitchell's cross has way too much on it and Alisson collects.

Everton have lost just three of their last 20 Premier League home games against Newcastle (W12 D5), though two of those defeats have come across their last four such meetings (W2).
Newcastle have won five of their last eight Premier League meetings with Everton (D1 L2), as many as in their previous 24 against them (D6 L13). However, they failed to win either meeting with the Toffees last term (D1 L1).
After losing their first four Premier League matches this season, Everton have picked up four points in their last two games (W1 D1). The Toffees are looking for consecutive wins for the first time since April.
Newcastle United have won 11 points in their six Premier League games this season (W3 D2 L1), their most at this stage of a top-flight season since 2011-12 (12) and Eddie Howe’s best start to a league season since 2010-11 in League One with Bournemouth (11 points).
Everton have won six of their last eight Premier League matches at Goodison Park (L2). Since the first game in this run on April 6, the Toffees have won more home points than any other Premier League side (18).
Only Aston Villa and Manchester City (7) have picked up more points from losing positions in the Premier League this season than Newcastle (5) – the Magpies have only lost two of their last seven games when conceding first (W2 D3), having lost 11 of their previous 13 games when going 1-0 down.
