How the two teams will start for this match they could help decide the title.
It is a vitally important match for Liverpool in the Premier League as they travel to Selhurst Park to play Crystal Palace.
Following last week’s defeat to Chelsea at Anfield the Reds have dropped behind Manchester City in the title race due to the Citizens’ superior goal difference.
Brendan Rodgers’ men are currently second after City’s 2-3 win over Everton on Saturday, but can go three points clear at the top once more with victory over Palace.
After they secured their top flight survival with three games to spare the Eagles may now have one eye on next season and having won five games on the trot, lost their last outing in the league – also to Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
Despite this manager Tony Pulis has named a strong starting XI to play the Merseysiders in south London.
