Liverpool travel to Selhurst Park on Monday night to take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Under Tony Pulis, Palace have done brilliantly this season and, despite being among the favourites for relegation at the start of the campaign, they find themselves comfortable in 11th place, fully 10 points clear of the relegation zone. Their last outing was a home defeat to Manchester City.
Liverpool's title challenge was dealt a major blow last weekend as a self-inflicted defeat to Chelsea at Anfield handed the initiative to City, who now lead the league table on goal difference. With home games against Aston Villa and West Ham United to finish their season, City are rightly favourites to land the trophy with a goal difference that is nine goals better than Liverpool's already, but the Reds will be aiming to go top again tonight.
Palace have no injuries or suspensions for this game.
Liverpool are without the suspended Jordan Henderson, who serves the final game of his three-match ban, and have doubts over Daniel Sturridge (hamstring). Sebastian Coates (knee) and Jose Enrique (knee) miss out.

Still think you won't struggle next season ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on what? What the hell has tonight's result got to do with next season? Will Chelsea struggle cos they couldn't beat Norwich? Will United struggle because Sunderland beat them?
Dream on

Arrogant management. Beluving too much of his own press. Agger on instead of Moses

Gerrard does not have the discipline to play that "shielding " role. When you started to wobble, he started trying to get forward more (understandable as that's been his game all his career), instead of sitting in, breaking up play, keeping possession and protecting a central defence that clearly has issues. Go & buy Nigel DeJong in the summer & see how much your goals conceded column improves.
