Jurgen Klopp has named the same starting lineup that rolled over West Ham United last weekend as Liverpool prepare to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Joel Matip has returned to the matchday squad after recovering from injury, but Joe Gomez continues alongside Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the Liverpool defence. The rest of the lineup is exactly the same as well, with Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane the hit-men for the Reds.
The big surprise though, is the exclusion of Fabinho from the matchday squad. It remains unclear if the Brazilian has picked up an injury or if there is some other issue.
