The Eagles are facing Arne Slot’s Reds for the fourth time in just over five months this evening, having won one and drawn two (winning one of those meetings, the Community Shield, on penalties) in that timeframe.
**Eddie Nketiah** – who scored a dramatic winner deep into added time when the two sides last met at Selhurst Park last month – makes his first start of the season tonight, with **Walter Benítez** and **Jaydee Canvot** – who both debuted for Palace in the third-round win over Millwall – also starting at Anfield.
**Will Hughes** and **Borna Sosa** are the other two Palace players introduced to the starting XI from the side which lost out narrowly at Arsenal on Sunday.
Moving to the bench from that team are Dean Henderson, Tyrick Mitchell and Jean-Philippe Mateta, whilst Chris Richards – who Glasner revealed was suffering from trouble with his calf – and Adam Wharton are absent from the squad in its entirety.
**Palace:** Benítez (GK), Canvot, Lacroix, Guéhi, Muñoz, Kamada, Hughes, Sosa, Sarr, Pino, Nketiah.
**Subs:** Henderson (GK), Mitchell, Clyne, Cardines, Lerma, Esse, Devenny, Uche, Mateta.
