Mo Salah and Andrew Robertson returned to the Liverpool starting XI for their clash with Crystal Palace at Anfield, live on Sky Sports on Wednesday evening.

The Egypt international was an unused substitute for Sunday's goalless Merseyside derby draw, having missed the team's warm-up game the previous week.

Robertson also returned after missing the game at Goodison Park, which is timely as stand-in James Milner has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
