Daniel Sturridge is among the five changes made by Jurgen Klopp from the match against Watford as Liverpool host Crystal Palace at Anfield
The English striker replaces Mohamed Salah in the starting lineup – a surprise name on the bench. Meanwhile, Andrew Robertson makes his Premier League debut, with Alberto Moreno making way at left-back. Ragnar Klavan, Joe Gomez and James Milner are the other three changes.
Meanwhile, Wilfred Zaha’s absence is being made up by Andros Townsend in the Crystal Palace starting lineup. Manchester United loanee Timothy Fosu-Mensah would be looking to do his parent club some favours, starting in a back-three in Frank De Boer’s side.
