Liverpool's Premier League title hopes were dealt a surprise blow after they slumped to a 1-0 defeat by Crystal Palace at Anfield. Eberechi Eze's first-half goal meant Jurgen Klopp's side were two points adrift of top spot, but Arsenal could open the gap up to three if they beat Aston Villa. Struggling Palace started superbly and scored the only goal of the game after just 12 minutes, Eze tidily finishing off a flowing move down the left-hand side. The Reds created numerous chances as they looked to respond but Curtis Jones squandered the best of them after firing off target when through one-on-one. Here, Mail Sport's DOMINIC KING has rated the players...

The malfunctioning of the Mentality Monsters: Angry Jurgen Klopp has a big job to do to rally Liverpool for two big away trips - but LEWIS STEELE explains why he won't panic

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 18, 2024
LEWIS STEELE AT OLD TRAFFORD: The key themes underpinning Liverpool's season have been mentality and tenacity. However, the Mentality Monsters malfunctioned on this occasion. This was an utterly bizarre display of game strategy rather than battling to the last second as often as possible. Following this energy-zapping loss, the Reds players might have few complaints at the conclusion, as they trudged back along the East Lancashire Road. With a hint of regret, the star-studded crew will now jet around the world to begin an international break. We didn't finish the game off,' was Jurgen Klopp's summary. And he's right - his team won this game twice and put it in the bag. Liverpool's lack of focus and sloppy mistakes led them to refuse to have what was supposed to be a monumental move in their quest for four trophies.

Liverpool, who have won in straight competitions in a row, is one point clear of The Citizens' arrival at the summit and could potentially cement their hold on the title with victory as they look to provide Klopp with the most fitting farewell. However, they face a tenacious City team that has won 18 games in their last 20 years and has yet to win in their last 20 and has shown no signs of slowing down. Guardiola's side will be emboldened by Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, and Diogo Jota, with Jack Grealish the only genuine concern for the visitors following a recurrence of a groin problem.

Both teams participated in national cup finals two years ago, with the Reds winning on penalties on both directions, and the Reds firmly in the playoffs, and they will face Mauricio Pochettino's men in the Premier League this weekend.

Oliver was embroiled in drama during Liverpool's 4-1 victory over Brentford over the weekend, refusing to appeal Ivan Toney's penalty after he was given a shove in the back from Andy Robertson inside the box. After a VAR check, the veteran referee pushed on and his decision stayed. Brentford, on the other hand, was unfortunate not to have been given the spot-kick in the second half, and it was reportedly out of fear of Oliver. There is no evidence that Coote's professional relationship with Oliver influenced his decision during the game at the Gtech Community Stadium. Despite Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez being forced to miss due to injury, Liverpool coasted to all three points to keep their title contention intact.

This was Liverpool's best representation of a buzz saw, with each of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo scoring or contributing in a victory that kept them in the Premier League top table.

This week, medical evaluations will be performed to see how many games this talented trio will miss, if any.
