Palace make four changes as Nathaniel Clyne starts against his former side.

Crystal Palace v Liverpool (12:30 GMT)
LiverpoolLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has criticised Premier League clubs for voting against the use of five substitutes for a third time.
The Premier League is the only top division in Europe not to have allowed five substitutes for the 2020-21 season.
Clubs did, however, vote to increase the number of players allowed on the bench from seven to nine.
"I'm not sure it's a compromise," said Klopp.
"Everybody knows my opinions about it," Klopp added. "Everyone knows 10 clubs voted against it. It was not about advantages, it was only about player welfare. And they voted against it.
"Pretty much only they voted against them in the whole world.
"I don't know which other leagues only have three subs. There must be a good reason for it, for all these leagues and clubs to vote for it."

The Liverpool coach is making its way through the narrow streets surrounding Selhurst Park. No fans thronging the way, of course.
It fells very early for some team news doesn't it but we'll have some soon enough.

Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace gave Tottenham a really good game at Selhurst Park last weekend, and very few teams go there and turn the Eagles over.
Roy Hodgson's side will be without suspended striker Christian Benteke, so they will be lacking a little bit of firepower, and they don't usually score that many goals anyway.
It will still be tough for Liverpool, though. They have won only one of their six away league games so far this season, so there is room for improvement on the road.
The Reds will have to play a lot better than they did in the first half against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, for example, but I still fancy them to win this one.
Even though the Reds have dropped points at unexpected times this season, they have only lost one game in the league - fewer than anyone else. In a topsy-turvy season like this one, that is a great achievement.
Prediction: 0-2

I say that, Liverpool have won each of their last five Premier League away games against Crystal Palace – only against Norwich (7, ongoing) and Aston Villa (6, 2011-2019) have they won more consecutively on the road in the competition.

Southampton were up there for a time, Tottenham for a long time, but it's the champions Liverpool who go into the weekend with a three-point cushion.
