    Will Steven Gerrard finish the game? Brendan Rodgers must be thinking about adding some fresh legs but will he dare bring the captain's final home game to a premature end?

    Former Liverpool midfielder Jimmy Case: "It's getting more and more open as the game goes on. Liverpool aren't getting a foot hold. Palace are creating the better chances and Liverpool need to step up the efforts now."

    Liverpool's defence is all at sea. Big shouts for a penalty from the visitors as Martin Skrtel appears to clip Lee Chung-yong's right boot. Nothing given and Alan Pardew is furious.

    The Kop is urging Liverpool forward. A brilliant ball by Philippe Coutinho is chested down by Jordan Henderson but he mis-hits his shot. The ball falls to invitingly for Jordon Ibe who fires into the side netting.

    Steven Gerrard played 35 passes in the opening half, completing 86%. He touched the ball 41 times, only Emre Can, Jordan Henderson and Martin Skrtel saw more of the ball in red.

    A chance for Palace right at the start of the half. Joe Ledley is nearly in but his first touch is too heavy allowing Simon Mignolet to gather. Warning signs for Liverpool.

    Joey, London: Palace the better side in the first half. Zaha on 2nd half to win it. Stevie G #invisible.

    Steven Gerrard's last 45 minutes at Anfield as a permanent Liverpool player coming up. Can the Reds make it a winning farewell for their captain? We're back under way

    It is hard to argue Crystal Palace did not merit their leveller. The London club have threatened with less possession than their hosts and had as many shots - six.

    Former Liverpool midfielder Jimmy Case: "Liverpool haven't so much as laboured through that first-half, but they've not stretched Crystal Palace enough. They've almost taken their foot off the gas after the opening goal and said what will be, will be."

    "After the fanfare for Steven Gerrard, this has been a strangely flat Anfield - almost as if many are waiting for the final whistle to pick up the mood once more as Liverpool's captain says his final farewell. On the pitch, the current scoreline of 1-1 is the least Crystal Palace deserve. They have been the better side."

    Kahn Karn:, external That just sums up Simon Mignolet, great free-kick but terrible keeping, moved the other way, didn't even get near the ball.

    Chris Wright:, external Not quite John Barnes, but magnificent free-kick from Puncheon! Palace deserve that.

    Steven Gerrard does not look happy as he makes his way to the dressing room. Liverpool have not got going despite Adam Lallana giving them the lead. It's all pretty flat at Anfield and it's Palace's travelling fans who are making all the noise.

    Former Liverpool midfielder Jimmy Case: "I did say that Jason Puncheon is one of the more gifted players out there when he gets on the ball. That free-kick deceived everyone. I thought he was going to go over the other side of the wall, but he just curled it round to make sure it nestled in the far corner."

    Has Jason Puncheon just gatecrashed Steven Gerrard's farewell party?

    The Palace midfielder curls a free-kick around the Liverpool wall and into the net in front of the Kop after a poor challenge by Emre Can on Yannick Bolasie earns the Reds player a yellow card.

    Poor by Can. Excellent by Puncheon.

    Philippe Coutinho tries to pick out Steven Gerrard inside the Palace area but it is cut out by a yellow shirt before the number eight could connect. Groans from the home fans who are itching to see Liverpool's captain score on his final Anfield appearance.
