Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made three changes to the team that started against Brighton & Hove Albion, for their home game against Crystal Palace.

Liverpool go into the contest against Crystal Palace without the services of right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold. The youngster’s place in defence has been taken by veteran James Milner.

Elsewhere, Fabinho moves back into the midfield, having started against Brighton as a centre-back, with Joel Matip coming into the team to partner Virgil van Dijk. Summer signing Naby Keita makes a rare start in the middle of the park, with Xherdan Shaqiri dropping to the bench, while Georginio Wijnaldum misses out with an injury.

The fit-again Adam Lallana has been named on the bench along with the talented teenager Rafael Camacho.
