Mohammad Salah is afforded some much-needed rest as Takumi Minamino comes in for the Egyptian star forward in the Liverpool FC XI that will take the pitch at Selhurst Park shortly to face off against Crystal Palace.
The other change from the midweek win over Tottenham Hotspurs is Joel Matip reclaiming his spot in the XI, with Wednesday’s heroic performer Rhys Williams dropping down to the bench.
As expected, Naby Keita is also handed a start in Saturday’s fixture against Roy Hodgson’s outfit as the Gunieun international replaces the in-form Curtis Jones in the Liverpool FC midfield trio alongside Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum
An unchanged backline barring Matip’s inclusion suggests that Jurgen Klopp is wary of the danger the Palace frontline possesses, even in the absence of the suspended ex-Red Christian Benteke.
Here is how both sides lineup for the upcoming Premier League fixture:
