Liverpool FC has maintained their lead at the top of the Premier League table after securing a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday, October 5, 2024.
The match, which kicked off at 12:30pm BST, saw Liverpool dominate the proceedings, although the scoreline remained tight. The decisive goal came from a Mo Salah penalty, highlighting the Egyptian forward’s continued importance to the team despite ongoing contract negotiations.
Liverpool, under the management of Arne Slot, have now won five of their first six league matches, with only one defeat. This victory extends their lead over Manchester City and Arsenal, who play later in the day. The Reds have been in superb form, including back-to-back wins in the Champions League, and have a perfect record on the road under Slot[6).
Crystal Palace, managed by Oliver Glasner, are still searching for their first Premier League win of the season. Despite some positive draws against top teams like Chelsea and Manchester United, the Eagles remain in the relegation zone with just three points from six matches[6).
The match was broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 in the UK, with subscribers also able to stream the action via the Discovery+ app and website[6).
Liverpool’s squad faced some injury concerns, with Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott among those missing, but the team’s depth and form proved sufficient to secure the win[6).
