Liverpool's main injury concern will be over defender Joe Gomez, who was forced to withdraw from the England squad after suffering an ankle injury against the Netherlands on Friday. The full-back is a doubt for Saturday's game, per Sky Sports.

Nathaniel Clyne could replace Gomez. The right-back is in contention to face his former club after a lengthy injury layoff, while Dejan Lovren is also back in training after an ankle problem, per Scott Trotter at the Croydon Advertiser. Emre Can is also a doubt after he missed training, per PA Sport (h/t ESPN FC)

Crystal Palace will be fretting over Wilfried Zaha's fitness after injury forced him to return early from international duty with the Ivory Coast, and he will have a late fitness test, per James Benge at the Evening Standard.

Alexander Sorloth, James Tomkins and Jeffrey Schlupp are also doubtful, and Connor Wickham has picked up yet another injury problem and will miss out.

Preview

Palace will be hoping Zaha can inspire them to victory on Saturday. WhoScored.com showed the club's record with and without the winger:

The team will have been boosted by the win over Huddersfield but remain in a precarious position, just two points clear of the drop zone.

The game also sees Palace striker Christian Benteke face his former team. Match of the Day highlighted his good record against the Reds:

Liverpool will have been pleased to see top scorer Mohamed Salah and forward Roberto Firmino having been used sparingly by their countries over the international break, as Mirror Football noted:

Salah did play in Egypt's 2-1 defeat to Portugal, and he scored the opener before two stoppage-time strikes from Cristiano Ronaldo handed the European champions victory.

Squawka Football showed what extraordinary goalscoring form Salah is in:

Salah has 36 goals for Liverpool in all competitions this season, and former Reds striker Ian Rush is backing the Egypt international to break his club record of 47 in one campaign, per Sky Sports.

Stopping Salah will be key for Crystal Palace in their attempt to preserve their Premier League status. Saturday's game is easily their hardest of their run-in, and if the Eagles can take anything from the clash, it would be a big boost to their hopes of survival.
