Mohamed Salah, who scored against Palace on Wednesday, said that now it is Liverpool's 'time to win the league' after falling short last season.
"Two points to go to win the league, it's great," the Liverpool star told Sky Sports.
"Since I came here, I said I want to win the Premier League. The city did not win it for a long time.

"Last year, we had a chance but Man City also played really well and deserved it. It's our time to win the league."
Christian Pulisic opened the scoring in the first half for Chelsea before Kevin De Bruyne pulled one back in the second half with a sensational free-kick.
However, City would be reduced to 10 men late into the second half after Fernandinho scraped the ball off the line with his hand.

Willian stepped up and converted the subsequent penalty as Chelsea sealed all three points at Stamford Bridge.
Guardiola already extended his congratulations to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp ahead of the Chelsea clash.
"Listen, we cannot win titles. But we cannot deny this tough week," the Spaniard told BT Sport.
"Congratulations to Liverpool, they have won it. Champions League qualification, we are in a good position so the FA Cup becomes important. We have three or four academy players on the bench.

"I think all the managers didn't know how the teams would be after these exceptional situations. We got a good result [against Burnley] and that was the important thing."
