Crystal Palace v Liverpool

Match preview

30 Mar 2018

Crystal Palace have injury worries over Jeffrey Schlupp, James Tomkins and Alexander Sorloth.

Wilfried Zaha (knee) will be assessed but Connor Wickham is definitely out after suffering a groin injury having only just returned from a long-term knee lay-off.

Liverpool are without Emre Can (back) and Joe Gomez (ankle), though Andrew Robertson has recovered from a dead leg and Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit after missing a match for England's Under-21 side.

Nathaniel Clyne (back) is in contention for a first appearance of the season, while Dominic Solanke (toe) is expected to be available.

Liverpool won the reverse fixture 1-0 in Matchweek 2 and are aiming to complete a Premier League double over Crystal Palace for the first time since 1997/98.

This will be Jurgen Klopp’s 100th PL match as a manager (W53 D28 L18). If there are seven goals in this match Klopp will equal Manuel Pellegrini for most goals featured in a PL manager's first 100 matches (329).

Christian Benteke has scored six goals in eight PL appearances against Liverpool, only three fewer than he managed in 29 league appearances in his sole 2015/16 season with the Reds.

Roy Hodgson has won three of his last five PL encounters with Liverpool (D1 L1), winning the most recent match 1-0 at Anfield as West Brom manager in April 2012.
