- Liverpool XI vs Crystal Palace: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Premier League
Ryan Gravenberch is Liverpool 's only injury concern ahead of the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace .
The Dutchman, who was dropped for last weekend's 1-0 home defeat by Arsenal , missed the Champions League loss against Fenerbahce due to a heel injury that prevented him from travelling to Istanbul .

Gravenberch's availability at the weekend remains up in the air with Andoni Iraola revealing the midfielder is in a race against the clock to prove his fitness ahead of the trip to Selhurst Park.
"The only doubt we will have is Ryan," the Liverpool head coach said at Friday's pre-match press conference. "The others will be the same as we have been.

"The Ryan Gravenberch thing is a day-to-day thing, it's a matter of pain. Let's see if he can deal with the pain and he can help us."
If Gravenberch remains unavailable due to injury, it would not be a surprise to see Trey Nyoni paired with Alexis Mac Allister in midfield once more, but the temptation to use Dominik Szoboszlai deeper and play Florian Wirtz in the No10 role could prove too much for Iraola.

Alisson Becker is under some scrutiny over his performance after the defeat by Fenerbahce, following on from his mistake against Arsenal.
The Brazilian, who has not been called up by Carlo Ancelotti for international duty, is expected to start against Palace, with Milos Kerkez and Ronald Araujo restored to the full-back positions after being named on the bench in Istanbul.
Alexander Isak's impressive scoring streak may have ended against Arsenal, but the Swede bagged a seventh goal in 13 appearances with his maiden Champions League strike of the season against Fenerbahce.
Isak came off the bench to grab his goal, but he will surely start at the weekend. Bradley Barcola will likely be restored to a more familiar wing role after his experiment up top, with Dutchman Cody Gakpo reintroduced on the other flank.
