The first chance for the Reds came when Joel Matip headed Andrew Robertson's free kick towards Diogo Jota from six yards out, but Jota's header went just wide of the left post. The crossbar stopped Jean-Philippe Mateta from giving Palace the lead, and shortly after the game resumed, Mohamed Salah was again denied by the woodwork.
Joe Gomez and Darwin Nunez were both ruled out due to injuries before the match on Saturday. Darwin Nunez sustained a hit during the Real Madrid match that made his shoulder condition worse and left him, in Klopp's words, "[unable to] move that arm at all." He will undergo another evaluation, but Gomez missed the game because of a muscular problem. After drawing five times since the start of the new year, Palace is still looking for their first victory of 2023, and their failure to take advantage of opportunities is once again on show.
