Team News: Liverpool unchanged for Crystal Palace clash

Liverpool unchanged against Palace

Liverpool have retained their starting XI from the 4-0 victory over West Ham United ahead of Monday night's Premier League clash away at Crystal Palace.

Defender Joel Matip has not played for the Reds since March but is back in training after hip trouble and could feature from the bench.

Fabinho, meanwhile, will have to wait for his Liverpool debut as he is not in the squad, though the summer signing from Monaco is in attendance at Selhurst Park.

As for Palace, Max Meyer missed last weekend's 2-0 win at Fulham as he fought for full match fitness but has been named on the bench by Eagles boss Roy Hodgson.

The Eagles, like Liverpool, have not made any changes to their starting XI, with Wilfried Zaha on the brink of becoming the London club's all-time top goalscorer.

Crystal Palace: Hennessey; Wan-Bissaka, Van Aanholt, Tomkins, Sakho; Schlupp, McArthur, Milivojevic, Townsend; Zaha, Benteke Subs: Guaita, Ward, Meyer, Kouyate, Sorloth, Ayew, Kelly

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Mane, Salah, Firmino Subs: Mignolet, Henderson, Sturridge, Moreno, Lallana, Shaqiri, Matip
