Manchester City battered Crystal Palace in the first half at Selhurst Park. But they only scored once, so there is still scope for Roy Hodgson to do his beloved Liverpool another favour. You can follow the match with Ben Fisher.

Hello. Liverpool have been carrying the weight of history on their back all season, but it will be especially heavy today. As well as the ongoing story of their attempt to win a first title since 1990, the arrival of Chelsea will trigger traumatic memories of the day in 2014 when Dame Fortune hoofed Steven Gerrard squarely in the hopes and dreams.
It’s impossible to escape the context of that game five years ago, when Liverpool blew a wonderful chance to win the title. But whether it actually means anything is open to debate. This is a different Liverpool team – the only survivor from that match in their starting XI is likely to be Mo Salah, and he was playing for Chelsea back then. And while this is Liverpool’s toughest remaining fixture, they will rightly expect to win it.
