[Teams] Crystal Palace vs Liverpool: Confirmed line-ups as Iraola makes 5 changes

Liverpool will be looking to get back to winning ways when they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this afternoon.

The Reds slumped to a disappointing 3-2 defeat away to Fenerbahce in the Champions League on Wednesday night. That followed a 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League so Andoni Iraola will be desperate to bounce back with a win today.

Alisson Becker keeps goal for Liverpool once again but Iraola has made two changes to the back four that started in Turkey in midweek. Ronald Araujo replaces Joe Gomez at right-back while Milos Kerkez comes in for Kostas Tsimikas on the opposite side.

Jeremy Jacquet lines-up alongside Virgil van Dijk in the middle of Liverpool’s defence. Alexis MacAllister starts in midfield once again and it looks like Dominic Szoboszlai will partner him meaning Trey Nyoni drops on the bench.

Florian Wirtz is recalled to start in the attacking midfield role and Iraola has made two further changes to his attack. Cody Gakpo is recalled to start on the wing so Rio Ngumoua makes way while Alexander Isak is also back in the starting eleven.

The Swedish hitman was rested in midweek but returns to lead the line up front so Bradley Barcola moves out wide with Victor Munoz the man to drop to the substitutes bench this afternoon.

As for Crystal Palace, there is no Jean-Philip Mateta due to suspension so Jørgen Strand Larsen leads the line up front with Yeremy Pino offering support.

Here are the confirmed line-ups for the game:

Crystal Palace

Henderson, Mingueza, Richards, Disasi, Lerma, Mitchell, Wharton, Timber, Kamada, Yéremy Pino, Larsen

Subs: Benítez, Canvot, Khalaili, Doucouré, Hughes, Chilwell, Osorio, McNeil, Nketiah

Liverpool
