Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain returns to the starting XI for Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp’s side taking on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
The England international had been a recent concern on the injury front but shakes it off in time for Sunday’s league outing with Liverpool hoping to continue their recent winning ways.
Matip retains starting berth
Jurgen Klopp decides against handing a starting role in the heart of the defence to Ibrahima Konate with Joel Matip partnering Virgil van Dijk at centre-back.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson fill in the full-back slots on either side of the pitch with Klopp opting to go ahead with his strongest defensive lineup on paper.
Unchanged midfield for the visitors
Injury concerns in the centre of the park with Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita unavailable means that Curtis Jones makes the team sheet once again alongside Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
In the final third of the pitch, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s return to the XI sees him fill the attacking ranks beside the familiar faces of Roberto Firmino and the man in form Diogo Jota.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
