Crystal Palace: James Tomkins and Wilfried Zaha will likely be absent having picked up minor injuries over the international break, while Alexander Sorloth faces a late fitness test following a hamstring injury. The only other absentees will be Jason Puncheon, Scott Dann and Bakary Sako who have been on the 'Eagles' long term injury list for some time.
Liverpool: Emre Can will miss out after he was injured on international duty, as will Joe Gomez who had to be substituted off during England's win over Holland. However, Nathaniel Clyne could be back after having returned to first team training.
Roy Hodgson: "Zaha hasn't been training to any great extent as we're nursing his knee. We hope the knee will be okay, but we've had to be cautious after he played against Huddersfield Town, as he came back much earlier than expected from injury."
Jurgen Klopp: "[Palace are] difficult. I saw their 95mins v Man United. They are in a good shape. Roy is doing a fantastic job there. It was the most difficult job to take with nil points, nil goals."
