Crystal Palace’s newly rejuvenated squad have adapted to Patrick Vieira’s ideas quicker than many people thought they would.
The departure of Roy Hodgson promised more free-flowing football but risked relegation from the Premier League.
So far, Vieira has tipped the scales in his favour but just one league win in five games will leave him desperately craving a victory to move further away from the drop zone - they currently sit 11 points clear of 18th place Norwich.
Team News
Crystal Palace will be without Jordan Ayew, Cheikhou Kouyate and Wilfried Zaha as they are away at the Africa Cup of Nations. James McArthur is also expected to still be missing through injury, along with James Tomkins.
Liverpool will be missing talismanic duo Mane and Salah as they are at the Africa Cup of Nations. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain limped off in the win over Brentford but should be back for Sunday’s clash. But Divock Origi, Nathaniel Phillips and Harvey Elliot are all set to miss out.
Line-ups
Crystal Palace: Butland; Mitchell, Guehi, Andersen, Ward; Schlupp, Hughes, Gallagher; Eze, Edouard, and Olisie.
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Jones; Jota, Firmino, and Oxlade-Chamberlain.
