Liverpool vs Crystal Palace - Kick-off time, team news and stream details

mirror.co.uk, 15 July 2022, 09:30
Liverpool were thumped 4-0 by Manchester United in their first fixture of pre-season and will be keen to address their shortcomings with an improved performance vs Crystal Palace in Singapore

Liverpool will be hoping to bounce back from their disastrous start to pre-season following their drubbing against rivals Manchester United when they take on Crystal Palace on Friday.

Jurgen Klopp opted to field three different lineups on Tuesday for his first meeting with Erik ten Hag since the Dutchman's appointment as United manager, though it backfired for Liverpool as they were swept aside in a disappointing 4-0 defeat.

New record signing Darwin Nunez also had a game to forget after coming on as a substitute in his first appearance for the club before missing a glaring opportunity to score. Klopp has since defended the striker and insists there is more to come from his side with Patrick Vieira's Palace up next.

Follow all the action from the Singapore National Stadium live as Mirror Football keeps you up to date with team news, goal updates and more. Kick off is scheduled for 1:35pm BST.

Changes expected

Expect plenty of changes for the second half. We'll bring them to you as we get confirmation.

14:22KEY EVENT

Half-time

Liverpool go in at the break 1-0 up thanks to Jordan Henderson's early strike.

14:19Ricky Charlesworth

Substitution

Liverpool taking no risks and AOC is subbed off with Leighton Clarkson his replacement.

14:18Ricky Charlesworth

Ox goes close

Oxlade-Chamberlain collects a clever pass from Firmino but it's straight at Guaita, albeit he gathers at the second attempt.

Oxlade-Chamberlain went to the ground immediately after the shot and medics are on to attend to him.

14:14Ricky Charlesworth

Chance!

Great move culminates with Harvey Elliott scuffing his shot wide, just inside the box. It began with Milner who fizzed a ball into Oxlade-Chamberlain who controlled it well and teed up Elliott.

Straight down the other end Palace break and the ball falls kindly to Mateta in the box but he balloons it well over the bar.

14:12Ricky Charlesworth

Lull

As ever with these tune-up games, there is a period where not much happens. Eight minutes until the interval.

14:07Ricky Charlesworth

Classy Milner

The veteran is rolling back the years, with dragbacks and round-the-corner passes. Probably tried a bit too much there and gives away a cheap free-kick in the Palace box.

14:05Ricky Charlesworth

Palace chance

Anderesen rises highest to reach a corner but the centre-half nods wide of Adrian's goal.

13:57Ricky Charlesworth

Miss!

Great work from Kostas Tsimikas down the flank. He scampers away and hangs up a cross which Firmino heads towards goal but it's deflected behind. Big chance spurned.

13:55Ricky Charlesworth

Salah earns cheers

The big screen shows a shot of Mo Salah on the Liverpool bench - cue huge cheers from the fans inside the ground. They'll be hoping to get a glimpse of him later on today.

13:51Ricky Charlesworth

Just reward

Liverpool had upped the ante in the last few minutes and Henderson's fine effort from just inside the box left Guaita with no chance. Can they build on it now?

13:48KEY EVENT

GOAL

Jordan Henderson sidefoots an effort into the far corner after good work from Harvey Elliot who picks him out. Classy finish from the midfielder.

13:47Ricky Charlesworth

Chance for Liverpool

Curtis Jones stabs a shot at goal but the 'keeper is equal to it. Was good hold-up play from Roberto Firmino.

13:45Ricky Charlesworth

Chance for Palace

A free-kick from high on the right near the box picks out Edouard who plants a header towards goal but Adrian comfortably gathers it.

13:44Ricky Charlesworth

Half-chance

A Palace clearance ricochets off Oxlade-Chamberlain and loops high up in the air but Guaita claims it.

13:41Ricky Charlesworth

Encouraging start

Liverpool have enjoyed most of the ball but have yet to pierce the Palace defence. Henderson seeing plenty of the ball.

13:35Ricky Charlesworth

Kick-off

After both sides take a knee, Liverpool get us underway in Singapore.

13:33Ricky Charlesworth

YNWA blares out

The Liverpool anthem blares out of the sound system at the Singapore National Stadium

Looks a full house too, with the vast majority here to see Jurgen Klopp's men.

13:26Ricky Charlesworth

Ten minutes to kick-off

Fast approaching kick-off as the Reds look to recover from their hammering from Man United a few days ago.

13:17Ricky Charlesworth

Harvey Elliott speaking to LFC TV

"I feel back to normal after my injury. I feel perfectly fine. I'm excited by what this season brings."

13:15Ricky Charlesworth

Season not too far away

Palace's season starts three weeks today when they welcome Arsenal for the Premier League's curtain-raiser.

Liverpool's technically starts earlier, with the Community Shield against Man City on July 30.

13:12Ricky Charlesworth

Klopp on Alisson

"Ali is not cool. It's not too long but each day Ali is not involved is not cool to be honest."

12:44Darren Wells

Chance for Ox

Many thought Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain wouldn't even be at Liverpool again this season - but the England international looks to be a part of Jurgen Klopp's plans for the campaign ahead.

Oxlade-Chamberlain rarely got a look in last term after some rotten luck with injuries in years gone by, with suggestions he could be sold before his contract runs out next summer.

But Klopp recently namechecked the 28-year-old when reeling off his wealth of options as a way of dismissing the theory Liverpool should be looking to sign a midfielder.

Oxlade-Chamberlain may also have more chances to be involved in a more advanced role - which he is accustomed to - after Klopp teased playing a 4-2-3-1 formation more often this season.

It is in the front free where Oxlade-Chamberlain starts today, and he'll be keen to impress his manager in a bid to force his way back into the Liverpool side.

12:17Ricky Charlesworth

First glimpse of Palace

This game represents Crystal Palace's first outing of pre-season.

After a fine first season under Patrick Vieira - they finished 12th - the Eagles will be looking for more of the same. Transfer-wise it has been a pretty low-key summer so far with midfielder Cheick Doucouré the highest profile arrival after a big-money move from Lens. England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone was also signed from West Brom.

Neither are involved today however, and the Palace boss is also unable to call upon a clutch of other first-team stars, with the likes of Wilfried Zaha, Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze still back in London.

12:13KEY EVENT

Palace team confirmed

12:12Ricky Charlesworth

The Reds' team

So none of Liverpool's summer signings start today's game. The likes of Nunez, Salah and Alexander-Arnold are all on the bench and will be hoping for some game time today at some point.

Palace team news to follow.

12:07KEY EVENT

Liverpool team confirmed

11:52Ricky Charlesworth

Key man misses out

Diogo Jota will miss today's bounce game after sustaining an injury during international duty with Portugal last month.

The forward damaged his hamstring. Manager Jurgen Klopp, speaking ahead of today's clash with Palace, said: "Diogo is unlucky. He was not involved [against United] because of an injury he got at the end of his season. He trained yesterday fully and got injured again so that's really not cool but we have to wait for the results."

There is also a doubt over first choice 'keeper Alisson. Klopp added: "He finished the session earlier, was doing the warming up and felt something so now there we have to wait as well."

11:20Ricky Charlesworth

How to watch

Today's friendly is being screened live on LFC TV. It's also available to stream on the mobile app. Alternatively, if you cannot get to a screen just stick with us and we'll have you covered.

Kick-off is the slightly odd time of 1.35pm BST

Klopp backtracks

Jurgen Klopp has backtracked on his previous claim that he would never spend €100m on a player following the capture of record signing Darwin Nunez.

The Reds shelled out that figure to land the Benfica striker, who had a difficult debut after coming on as a sub against United.

But Klopp insisted it was a case of needs-must in negotiations for the Uruguayan, who has the added pressure of trying to help fill the Sadio Mane-shaped void this season.

Klopp said: "When you want to sign a striker as exciting as Darwin in, it's the market and you have to pay the price. I've said so many things in my life and life caught me then later and showed me that my imagination was obviously not clear enough for how quick life can change."
