Liverpool and Crystal Palace face off at Anfield this evening in what will be the first Monday night game of the season.
Both sides will undoubtedly be looking to improve on their performances in their opening league fixtures which saw them unable to take home three points.
A lacklustre performance from Liverpool meant they were forced to come from behind twice to draw against newly promoted Fulham.

Crystal Palace hosted Arsenal at a rocking Selhurst Park and the Gunners, who look like a rejuvenated side so far this season, raced to a 2-0 victory, leaving the Eagles in 18th place ahead of tonight’s fixture.

However, Liverpool fans will welcome the return of Naby Keita to the squad after he recovered from an illness which saw him miss their opening match.
Although Nunez has been in great form off the bench, Klopp may be tempted to start Firmino again, which would get him to the milestone of 200 Premier League starts. Alexander-Arnold is also in line to achieve his 150th Premier League start.
For the visitors, Michael Olise could be available for selection after returning to training this week but Palace will still be without the injured veterans James McArthur and James Tomkins.
