Liverpool lock horns with Crystal Palace on the former’s travels to South London this Sunday with Jurgen Klopp’s side eyeing up another win to maintain their recent momentum.
The Merseyside heavyweights booked a berth in next month’s Carabao Cup final against Chelsea courtesy of the 2-0 win recorded away at Arsenal earlier this week.
Return to winning ways in league action for Liverpool were secured last time around following a 3-0 scoreline against the Premier League new boys Brentford with Liverpool hoping to keep pace with the runaway leaders Manchester City.
With City dropping points in the 1-1 draw away at Southampton, Klopp will be counting on his players to deliver when they take the field at Selhurst Park to face Patrick Vieira’s Eagles.
Crystal Palace last turned out against Brighton in top flight action nearly a week back with the outing fizzling out in a 1-1 draw with Palace defender Joachim Andersen scoring a late own goal to level the affair.

TEAM NEWS
Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita remain out of the selection pool owing to their participation in the Africa Cup of Nations.
On the injury front at Anfield, Thiago Alcantara and Divock Origi both are on the sidelined despite the latter being expected to return to training in the next couple of weeks.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s ankle trouble is unlikely to keep him out of the upcoming game but the England international should find himself starting on the bench.

Liverpool are strong favourites to secure the three points despite the depleted ranks at Jurgen Klopp’s disposal.
