A frustrating 2-2 draw at Fulham means the Reds already trail title favourites Manchester City by two points, but Darwin Nunez debut – in which he scored and assisted – was a huge positive.

Palace huffed and puffed in their season-opener against Arsenal, but on another night Eberechi Eze or Wilfried Zaha would have scored. The pair will need to be on top form at Anfield.
