The Kop are doing their best to galvanise the Liverpool players with some great noise at the start of the second half, after Federico Chiesa had a shot blocked.

But Palace could have stretched their lead to three when Jean-Philippe Mateta was far too fast and too strong for Andy Robertson.

Liverpool struggled at the end of the first half defensively and will not have been happy to see Mateta, who already has seven goals this season in all competitions, come on at the start of the second half.

"To the Arsenal 1-0" sing the fans inside the Emirates.

It's been far from easy for the Gunners tonight.

More frustration for the hosts as Liverpool's captain-for-the-night Andy Robertson is booked for a naughty challenge on Yeremy Pino.

It's been one-way traffic since the restart. Manchester City have found their groove in the final third.

Swansea are compact and the back and just about managing to hold them off for the time being.

Chelsea are playing sloppily enough to concern manager Enzo Maresca.

The Italian just went over to Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella, who are warming up with intent, alongside fit again striker Liam Delap.

Wolves have pulled one back and deserved to and Chelsea have been poor since half-time.

An attempt by Federico Chiesa is blocked after good work by Kieran Morrison, who has been a rare positive for the Reds along with Rio Ngumoha.

Carlos Baleba and Max Dowman go shoulder-to-shoulder. There's only one winner there and he's wearing blue and white.

Ethan Nwaneri takes a touch in the box. Sets himself and lets fly in the box but Jason Steele dives on it.

If only Arne Slot had someone like Trent Alexander-Arnold to send on and rescue this tie.

Alexander-Arnold is back at Anfield next Tuesday. The thing is he will be turning out for Real Madrid.

Liverpool need to try get themselves a goal and get themselves back into it as quick as possible. Arne Slot might feel there is enough quality in this team to get something from it. He will be hoping to give the crowd something to hold onto.

The Brighton fans fancy this and I don't blame them!

Georginio Rutter goes left to Maxim De Cuyper and his effort is punched clear by Kepa.

Oliver Glasner is going for the kill.

He's sent on Jean-Philippe Mateta for Eddie Nketiah at the start of the second half.

Meanwhile, Arne Slot has opted against making any changes for now.
