Crystal Palace XI vs Liverpool: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League

Alex Young @alexwsyoung15 August 2022

Michael Olise is named on the bench for Crystal Palace for tonight’s Premier League showdown with Liverpool.

The winger missed the Premier League season opener against Arsenal after suffering a foot injury while on international duty with France’s Under-21s. Olise will be hoping for minutes from the bench, after his pre-season was hampered by injury.

Palace are still missing James McArthur and James Tomkins, however, with Nathan Ferguson and Jack Butland also sidelined. It is a second game under the lights for Palace after losing on Friday evening to Arsenal.

While Palace lost both of their meetings with Jurgen Klopp's side last season, Vieira insisted they are not at all intimidated by the atmosphere which awaits them at Anfield.

He said: "It's difficult to find a better atmosphere. The players are really excited, it's a fantastic stadium and atmosphere. We want to enjoy ourselves.

“It will be challenging but we can make it challenging for them. Last year we had some good opportunities to score goals, at home we created those situations again.

"We have to be brave and, with the strength we have, try to play that game with personality. We will try to perform our best."

Odsonne Edouard drops to the bench for Palace, who look set to start with a back-five at Anfield.

Starting XI: Guaita, Clyne, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure, Eze, Schlupp, Zaha, Ayew

Subs: Johnstone, Milivojevic, Olise, Mateta, Hughes, Edouard, Ebiowei, Richards, Plange.
