Liverpool have won their last two Premier lea bouncing back from defeat to Brighton before the March international break – to tighten their grip on fifth place.
A third win on the bounce could open up an eight-point gap to sixth-place with four games remaining, though the Reds will have eyes on finishing as high as possible with both Manchester United and Aston Villa in striking distance.
Palace are all but safe so they have nothing in the league in to playfor but a confernce league semi-final first leg agaisnt Shaktar Donetsk awaitng them in two weeks their focus and preperation could be on that, making sure everyone avalible for that game would be a priority for Oliver Glassner.
Joe Gomez, Alisson Becker and Watura Endo were all spotted in traning on Thursday and with Gomez expcted to return, and this game comes a bit early for Endo, the question will be on wether Alisson is avalible or will Liverpool once again rely on thrid-choice goalkepper Freedie Woodman, who made his Liverpool debut on Sunday in the Mersyside derby after back up goalkepper Giorgi Marmadashvilli went of injured.
