Team News: Wilfried Zaha starts for Crystal Palace against Liverpool

Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha starts for his side for their tie against Liverpool this afternoon.

The winger was a doubt ahead of the match due to a knee injury, but Eagles boss Roy Hodgson has deemed him fit enough to start today's match at Selhurst Park.

Palace make two changes to their side, with Martin Kelly coming in for James Tomkins, while Yohan Cabaye replaces Jeffrey Schlupp in midfield.

Elsewhere, Wayne Hennessey begins in goal, while Christian Benteke is chosen alongside Zaha up top.

For Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold replaces the injured Joe Gomez at right-back, while Emre Can, who has a back problem, does not feature in the Reds' midfield three.

Jurgen Klopp opts for the usual three of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane up top, while there is a spot on the bench for Nathaniel Clyne, who has not made an appearance all season due to injury.
