Crystal Palace f.c. vs Liverpool lineups

Liverpool were humbled at Anfield just four days ago but they cannot carry that result into tonight's match, they have a place in the top four to chase down.

[Fabio Carvalho](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/fabio-carvalho/) back in. [Jordan Henderson](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/jordan-henderson/) shifts to the No. [Alisson](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/alisson/) is on the hunt for his third consecutive [Premier League](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/premier-league) clean sheet, behind a backline that was subject to an enforced change. 20 starting for the first time since October. [Mohamed Salah](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/mohamed-salah/), [Cody Gakpo](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/cody-gakpo/) and [Diogo Jota](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/diogo-jota/) lead the attack, Liverpool’s No. [Fabinho](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/fabinho/), Bajcetic, Jones, Elliott, Carvalho, Firmino [Crystal Palace](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/crystal-palace): Guaita; Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Doucoure, Lokonga, Schlupp; Olise, Mateta, Ayew 6 role as [James Milner](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/james-milner/) and [Naby Keita](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/naby-keita/) come in. [Ibrahima Konate](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/ibrahima-konate/) was not deemed fit enough to take a place on the bench despite returning to training in midweek, meaning [Rhys Williams](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/rhys-williams/) is in the squad. [Alisson](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/alisson/); Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Milner, Keita; Salah, Jota, Gakpo [Joe Gomez](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/joe-gomez/) drops out with injury, leaving [Joel Matip](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/joel-matip/) to partner [Virgil van Dijk](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/virgil-van-dijk/) with [Trent Alexander-Arnold](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/trent-alexander-arnold/) and [Andy Robertson](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/andrew-robertson/) alongside. [Jurgen Klopp](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/jurgen-klopp/) has made four changes to his starting lineup for the trip to [Crystal Palace](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/crystal-palace), with [Diogo Jota](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/diogo-jota/) back in the XI as [Darwin Nunez](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/darwin-nunez/) misses out.

Up top, Diogo Jota makes his first start since October, leading the line with Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah either side of him. Cody Gakpo and Roberto Firmino ...

And for that reason, Roberto Firmino comes in to spearhead the attack, with Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah either side of him. Jordan Henderson can rest his legs from the start for this one, with Harvey Elliott coming in to take up the running. That means Jordan Henderson in the anchor role, and it’s time for Naby Keita to return also. The teenager has played a lot of football of late so it’s wise to bring him out the team for this one. In midfield things need a little shake-up after Tuesday night. With Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back. Andy Robertson retains his spot at left-back. Curtis Jones is also due a start. Trent Alexander-Arnold can stay at right-back. That remains Alisson Becker despite his error in midweek. Midfield-wise, this might be a good time to give Stefan Bajcetic a breather. Not in goal, though.

Further forward, Nunez appeared to overcome a shoulder injury to start - and score - against Real Madrid, but he is not involvement tonight as Diogo Jota comes ...

We are not sure all the boys can play yet after Madrid because of knocks,” Klopp added. “We can see that the boys aren’t at their best. [iverpool](/topic/liverpool) are without [Joe Gomez](/topic/joe-gomez) and Darwin Nunez for tonight’s [Premier League](/topic/premier-league) clash with [Crystal Palace](/topic/crystal-palace).
