Can Liverpool bounce back from their bottom smacking against Real Madrid against a wobbling Crystal Palace side? Planet Sport looks at the team news, key stats and best bets for Saturday's clash.
Ibrahima Konate is closing in on a return from injury but will not be fit in time to take on Crystal Palace. The centre-back has been out for a month with a muscle problem and has returned to training but clearly still has some way to go.
It also appears unlikely that either Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino will start, but Jurgen Klopp acknowledged they need more minutes on the pitch to get back to full fitness so they will probably get some time from the bench at some point in the game.
Palace have struggled to find the back of the net this campaign, scoring just 21 goals across 23 Premier League contests.
Wilfried Zaha still leads the team with six, despite his absence from the squad after sustaining a hamstring injury against Newcastle in late January.
The Eagles talisman trained with the team this week, although Vieira said a decision on the winger's availability will need to wait until the day of the game.
