Crystal Palace are set to travel north to take on Liverpool in the Premier League tomorrow night.

Liverpool have come out victorious in their eleven previous meetings, with Crystal Palace last claiming all three points in April 2017, thanks to a double from Christian Benteke.

Patrick Vieira has confirmed that Michael Olise could return to the fold after training all week, while the clash will come too early for James McArthur and James Tomkins.
