Nyoni on bench as Liverpool change five starters for Palace trip
Alexander Isak returns to Liverpool's starting lineup, while Palace turn to Jorgen Strand Larsen as Jean-Philippe Mateta begins a three-game ban.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has made five lineup changes for the November 8 Premier League match at Selhurst Park, while Crystal Palace counterpart Pierre Sage has made four. The visitors are trying to halt a run of two defeats across all competitions.
Trey Nyoni moves to the bench despite opening Liverpool's scoring in their 3-2 Champions League defeat against Fenerbahce. With a heel injury still keeping Ryan Gravenberch out, Iraola has selected Alexis Mac Allister alongside Dominik Szoboszlai in central midfield.
Alexander Isak returns to the starting side after taking his season tally to seven goals across all competitions against Fenerbahce. Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Ronald Araujo also return, with Victor Munoz, Rio Ngumoha, Kostas Tsimikas and Joe Gomez joining Nyoni among the substitutes.
Palace's changes follow their 1-1 Europa League draw against Hoffenheim. Jean-Philippe Mateta's dismissal against Tottenham Hotspur means he starts a three-game suspension, leaving Jorgen Strand Larsen to spearhead the attack. Yeremy Pino and Daichi Kamada will play behind him.
In defense, Sage brings in Axel Disasi and Jefferson Lerma, while Oscar Mingueza takes over from Anan Khalaili at right wing-back. Adam Wharton remains in midfield after his European sending-off, but injury continues to rule out Ismaila Sarr.
Victory would put Liverpool among the top four if Chelsea fail to defeat Sunderland. Palace, currently 19th, would move temporarily clear of the relegation places by winning, ahead of Manchester United's match against Aston Villa.
