Crystal Palace host Liverpool in the Premier League this evening.

Crystal Palace head into tonight’s game having beaten Fulham 2-0 on the opening day of the Premier League season, and will be hoping for another strong showing tonight.

Wayne Hennessey keeps his place in goal despite pressure from summer signing Vicente Guaita, whilst ex-Liverpool man Mamadou Sakho starts in defence alongside James Tomkins.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Patrick van Aanholt continue in the full back roles after impressing last weekend, with Luka Milivojevic and James McArthur starting in central midfield.

Andros Townsend and Jeffrey Schlupp feature out wide, and will support the front two of Wilfried Zaha and another former Liverpool player in Christian Benteke.

Guaita is on the bench, alongside Joel Ward, Martin Kelly and Alexander Sorloth, as well as summer signings Cheikhou Kouyate, Max Meyer and Jordan Ayew.

Meanwhile, Liverpool thrashed West Ham United 4-0 at Anfield last weekend, and Jurgen Klopp has kept an unchanged side tonight.

Alisson starts in goal, and will be protected by a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson.

Georginio Wijnaldum is in holding midfield again, with Naby Keita and James Milner given more of a licence to go forward and support the attack.

Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane all feature in a dangerous attack, with Daniel Sturridge still on the bench despite scoring as a substitute against West Ham.

Sturridge is joined by Simon Mignolet, Joel Matip, Alberto Moreno, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana and Xherdan Shaqiri, with Loris Karius not included as he seemingly prepares for a move to Besiktas.
