And we are back under way. Bring on the drama.

Last week, we provided you with some fantasy football tips, to help you sculpt your side for the weekend's fixtures.

We led with the suggestion that it might be a rare weekend to avoid Man City attackers. That was solid gold advice.

We also suggested you might want to load up on Burnley defenders. Ahem.

And we told you that Harry Kane might not be worth picking, but Hugo Lloris was because Spurs rarely concede against promoted teams. Urrgghhhh.

So yeah. Sorry about that.

However, we did pick out Milner as a man to have. Even a blind chicken catches some corn.

Prior to this evening James Milner had scored in 47 Premier League games (48 goals in total) and not once finished on the losing side winning 37 and drawing 10.

Good news for Palace then.

David Thackeray: VAR please. Oliver missed a stonewall penalty for Arsenal against City and that was very soft.

That still comes down to a matter of opinion of course...

The legitimacy of that penalty does very much depend on your loyalty.

If you support Liverpool you're claiming spot-kick. He went down easy but there was a tangle of clumsy arms and legs from Sakho.

If you support Palace (and teams considered Liverpool's rivals) you're probably thinking it was very soft.

There was a time that wouldn't even have threatened being a penalty. In modern football, though...

Roy Hodgson was waiting by the tunnel and I think he's going to give Michael Oliver a hairdrying!

But I thought Mo Salah was tripped. There was enough contact and Salah goes down. I can understand Palace fans are frustrated but it's bad defending and the ref had a decision to make, which he got right.

That goal is a game changer. It's hard enough playing against Liverpool but when you have to come on to them... They're a real threat on the counter attack.

Dave, Wirral: Poor defending...definitely a penalty. Great refereeing.

Gary: Salah the cheat diving all over the place again as usual.

Ricky Lee Everett: Salah should have been booked, the definition of cheating

Now that is good timing. LIverpool go into the break ahead.

They dominated possession throughout that half. But Palace had come back into it a bit.

Mo Salah gets his body in there and turns Mamadou Sakho, who has a couple of nibbles. I think that's a penalty. It's poor defending and there's contact. People will say 'how much contact was there?' But I think Salah was going to get a shot away and referee Michael Oliver has got that right

Michael Oliver had a perfect view of that. It was an outstretched arm from Sakho that sent Salah tumbling.

Big moment. Mohamed Salah goes down in the box. Ref points to the spot.

Palace look to be away but the ref has blown. It is for a free-kick to Liverpool, awarded because Patrick van Aanholt apparently knacked James Milner. Home fans are not happy.

PVA gets a yellow as well, which further increases their ire.

Alisson gets his first real test as the ball is chipped into the box from a free-kick. He charges out and gets half a fist to the ball to clear. He might be a £60m Brazilian international but he still has to do the dirty stuff.

Sadio Mane goes close. His effort from 20 yards is rising and briefly threatens to test Wayne Hennessey before rising a tad too much and just clearing the goalframe.

A few of you on texts and tweets are taking David's comment at 20:32 a bit too seriously.

But not this guy...

Patrick Brennan: David Flynn - you forgot Alan Curbishley!

Round up the usual suspects!

Gareth Southgate is in the house. Who is he watching? Trent? Joseph? Aaron?

If it is the latter, he'll no doubt be impressed. He gets in round the back of the Liverpool defence and sends over a low cross but none of his team-mates took a gamble on reaching.

Top drawer from Wan-Bissaka.

That was more than half a chance. It was brilliant strength from Mo Salah and then it was a high bounce for Andrew Robertson. He slices it horribly and it's way over the bar.

Andrew Robertson with a pop. Over the bar.

It would have been some finish had he managed it. The ball is chipped from the byline by Mohamed Salah and nodded to the back of the box by Roberto Firmino. Robertson is waiting but the ball is rising as he strikes it, leading to an almighty slice.

65% possession for Liverpool so far. But you can't say they've used that as well as we all know they can.

Fair play to Palace, who have had to defend but have done it well. Barring a few panicked moments, there hasn't been a lot of space for Mane and Salah to exploit.
