LONDON -- Liverpool missed a chance to close the gap on the Premier League's top four after playing out a dismal 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta struck the crossbar just prior to half-time before Mohamed Salah did the same with a fine effort shortly after the restart, but Jurgen Klopp's side struggled to create much else of note at Selhurst Park. The result leaves Liverpool in seventh place, six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who host Chelsea on Sunday.
