Cheikhou Kouyate is a doubt after being forced off against Leicester last weekend, while Christian Benteke is still sidelined with a long standing knee injury.
Straightforward home win
Liverpool fans hoping for a favour from former boss Roy Hodgson seem sure to be disappointed given his current team's record against the champions.

Predictions
Considering their imperious home record, odds of 10/13 (1.77) seem generous on City winning to nil once again versus a Palace team that has taken just one point from the last available 18 on the road.
