2019-2020 PL: Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool

(The Guardian) Can Zaha prosper against depleted Liverpool?
Liverpool could go 12 points clear of Manchester City before Pep Guardiola’s side kick off against Chelsea later on Saturday, but to do that they will have to win at Selhurst Park without, in all likelihood, Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, both of whom are set to miss out with ankle injuries. Divock Origi will probably replace Salah while James Milner is likely to step in for Robertson. Both deputies are very useful, but neither is nearly as good as the man he will replace. With Robertson missing, Palace will no doubt hope that Wilfried Zaha keeps Trent Alexander-Arnold going backwards, in which case Liverpool would have far less creativity than usual from the full-back positions. That will increase the need for extra thrust from midfield – so Jürgen Klopp must have been pleased to see Georginio Wijnaldum score a hat-trick for the Netherlands during the international break and, perhaps, to see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain start both of England’s matches. Both should feature on Saturday if fit.

Liverpool make one change to the side that beat Manchester City before the break and it's a big one. Mo Salah has not fully recovered from his ankle injury so drops to the bench. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain starts in his place.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Firmino, Mane.

Subs: Milner, Keita, Salah, Gomez, Adrian, Lallana, Origi.
