Ryan Gravenberch is free to feature for Liverpool against Crystal Palace

Ironically, Liverpool and Palace met on the final day of the 2024-25 Premier League season in a match that ended all square at Anfield as the hosts snatched a point late on thanks to an 84th minute equaliser from Mohamed Salah.
