Ibrahima Konate makes his much-awaited debut for Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp’s in-form outfit playing hosts to Crystal Palace at Anfield.
Virgil van Dijk is back in the starting XI after missing out on the midweek Champions League fixture win against AC Milan.
A new-look backline for Liverpool to take the field
It is a complete new-look defence for Liverpool from their last outing which came in the Champions League on Wednesday night at Anfield in the win over AC Milan.
Joel Matip earns some well-deserved rest while Joe Gomez is benched as both Konate and Van Dijk come in at the heart of the defence.
Trent Alexander-Arnold misses out due to an illness while Andy Robertson serves on the bench to make way for James Milner and Kostas Tsimikas.
Thiago and Mane earns recalls
The change in midfield for Liverpool is the return of Thiago Alcantara who had come off the bench last time around in European action.
Another notable return to the XI for Liverpool is that of Sadio Mane who had been benched in the midweek UCL clash with Divock Origi handed the starting role up top on the pitch.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
Liverpool FC XI
Alisson, Milner, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago, Mane, Salah, Jota
Crystal Palace FC XI
Guaita, Ward, Guehi, Andersen, Mitchell, Kouyate, McArthur, Gallagher, Ayew, Benteke, Zaha
