Liverpool starting line up for Crystal Palace as Mohamed Salah returns

Mohamed Salah returns for Liverpool as they host Crystal Palace at Anfield for a game that could ultimately win the Reds the Premier League title.

Salah missed Sunday's Merseyside derby through injury but is back in the home side's front three alongside Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

Andy Robertson, who missed last week's 236th derby entirely, is back in at left-back as Joe Gomez partners Virgil van Dijk in the centre of defence.

There's a return for Gini Wijnaldum in Liverpool's midfield alongside Fabinho and captain Jordan Henderson as Naby Keita drops to the bench for Anfield's first competitive game since mid-March.

Victory tonight will take Jurgen Klopp's side to within two points of the title.

And they will be crowned champions on Thursday night if Manchester City stumble at Chelsea.

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Mane, Firmino

Subs: Adrian, Lovren, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Origi, Jones, Elliott, Williams.

Crystal Palace: Hennessey, Ward, Cahill, Sakho, Van Aanholt, McCarthy, Townsend, McArthur, Kouyate, Zaha, Ayew.

Subs: Dann, Milivojevic, Riedewald, Meyer, Tavares, Pierrick, Keutcha, Henderson, Mitchell.
