Crystal Palace starting XI: Guaita; Ward, Guehi, Andersen, Mitchell; Hughes, Schlupp, Gallagher; Olise, Mateta, Edouard.

Crystal Palace substitutes: Butland, Clyne, Ferguson, Kelly, Milivojevic, Riedewald, Ayew, Eze, Benteke.

Liverpool starting XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Jones; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Firmino, Jota.

Liverpool substitutes: Kelleher, Konate, Milner, Gomez, Minamino, Tsimikas, Gordon, Williams, Morton.

Crystal Palace go with Vicente Guaita in goal, behind a back four of Joel Ward, Marc Guehi, Joachim Andersen and Tyrick Mitchell.

It’s a midfield three of Will Hughes, Jeffrey Schlupp and Conor Gallagher, with Michael Olise and Odsonne Edouard supporting Jean-Philippe Mateta up top.

There are three former Liverpool players on the Palace bench with Nathaniel Clyne, Martin Kelly and Christian Benteke all available.

Jack Butland, Nathan Ferguson, Luka Milivojevic, Jairo Riedewald, Jordan Ayew and Eberechi Eze join them on the bench.

Liverpool have Alisson between the sticks, working behind a familiar back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson.

Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Curtis Jones are in midfield, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joining Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino in attack.

£35million man Oxlade-Chamberlain was an injury doubt but has been passed fit to play.

Kaide Gordon again makes the bench with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Caoimhin Kelleher, Ibrahima Konate, James Milner, Joe Gomez, Takumi Minamino, Kostas Tsimikas, Neco Williams and Tyler Morton are Liverpool’s other substitutes today.
