15:07 CET - A big problem for Liverpool as Alisson has been forced off injured meaning it is a Premier League debut for Czech goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros. Also off is Kostas Tsimikas, who is replaced by Andy Robertson.

Elsewhere, Espanyol have doubled their lead against Mallorca at the start of the second half - Jofre with the goal.

15:00 CET - Crystal Palace building pressure now against Liverpool with Alisson making saves from Eddie Nketiah and Eberechi Eze in quick succession. Can the Eagles nab an equaliser?

Luis Diaz is on for Mohamed Salah - a quiet game for the Egyptian.

Meanwhile, we are underway in Serie A between Udinese and Lecce - follow that game now.

14:47 CET - We have reached the interval in Barcelona, where Espanyol lead Mallorca 1-0 in a half they have had the better of the play.

14:33 CET - Back underway in London in the Premier League, where Liverpool lead Crystal Palace by the odd goal. One change at the break for the Reds with Dominik Szoboszlai on for the booked Alexis Mac Allister.

14:22 CET - In LaLiga, Marash Kumbulla has given Espanyol the lead against Mallorca in the 18th minute - his first goal for the club.

14:18 CET - Half-time at Selhurst Park where it has been a game of calm and control for Liverpool, who lead Crystal Palace 1-0 thanks to the early goal from Diogo Jota - his second in the Premier League this season.

There was a moment of concern for the Reds just before the break as Ismaila Sarr forced Allisson into a good save - the hosts will need more of that if they are to get back into the game in the second half.

Meanwhile, in Serie A, Udinese welcome Lecce to town, looking to continue their good run of form at the start of the campaign.

That game kicks off at 15:00 CET and you can catch up with all of it here.

13:47 CET - An enforced early change for Crystal Palace with Daniel Munoz suffering an injury, meaning Nathaniel Clyne comes on for his fourth appearance of the season.

13:39 CET - GOAL FOR LIVERPOOL! The Reds lead after eight minutes thanks to Diogo Jota. A lovely pass from Kostas Tsimikas sets Cody Gakpo free down the left flank and his teasing cross into the area is met by the onrushing Portuguese forward, who makes no mistake with the close-range finish. Clinical from the visitors.

13:30 CET - Our first game of the weekend is underway at Selhurst Park - remember to click on the link at the top of the page to listen to the match. The ball is already in the back of the net for Crystal Palace through Eddie Nketiah, but the striker is a good yard offside and rightly ruled out. An early warning sign for Liverpool.

13:23 CET - Over in Spain, the first LaLiga game of the day sees sixth-placed Mallorca travel to Catalonia to face a struggling Espanyol.

You can follow that match here.
