The Steven Gerrard song is being sung. It's taken almost 68 minutes!!

Naby Keita starts in midfield alongside Jordan Henderson for Liverpool.

Chelsea's key forward Eden Hazard returns to the starting XI having come on as a substitute against Slavia Prague on Thursday. Midfielder Callum Hudson-Odoi is also in the Blues line-up.

Crystal Palace earn their first corner of the game in the 65th minute. It's headed away by Kyle Walker though.

Bernardo Silva on for David Silva.

Crystal Palace are still a threat, that’s what City have to be aware of because for all their dominance they haven’t really created a chance this second half.

It only takes one good ball in behind, or a set piece. There is still hope for Palace.

Wilfried Zaha climbs over Aymeric Laporte and gives away a free-kick on the edge of the City area.

"Blue Moon" rings out around Selhurst Park from the visiting supporters.

Raheem Sterling makes another excellent run to the backline off the right and he's picked out by a long, driven ball.

He cuts it back dangerously across the centre but it's cut out just as David Silva is about to pull the trigger.

I'll let you know the team news from Anfield in about nine minutes.

James McArthur does well to win the ball on the right and his clearance is collected by Christian Benteke.

The striker nutmegs Kevin de Bruyne but there's three City players around him and he's got nowhere to go and nobody to pass to.

Vicente Guaita picks up the corner and tries to release Wilfried Zaha straight away.

Kyle Walker reads it though and is back to mop things up.

Andros Townsend's cross is skewed but Aymeric Laporte takes a swipe at it and mishits the clearance.

It comes to Wilfried Zaha on the far side but his shot is blocked.

It’s more of the same from Manchester City this second half. When there is such a gulf between the two sides Palace have to hope City drop their standards. Because at the moment their B game, not even B+, is enough.

Man City's pressing is too intense. Every time Palace have the ball they are forced backwards.

Andros Townsend tries to make a quick run around Leroy Sane but he gets clipped. Free-kick on the right.

Francis Edwards: Palace need a new manager - the current squad is one of the best they’ve had in the Premier League era. When you consider the mediocre sides like West Ham and Leicester above them - they need new life.

Kevin de Bruyne's low, curling pass almost falls to David Silva, who is stood six yards out, but it hits Martin Kelly's shin and Vicente Guaita has to react well to stop it falling between his legs.

That was very, very close!

City kick-start the second half exactly the same way they ended the first...

With the ball.

Shots fired by Rhys!

Rhys Barker: I think the only ones critical of Palace are Liverpool fans who realise they can't win the league unless someone else does them a favour.
