Jürgen Klopp explains team selection for Palace clash

Jürgen Klopp has explained why, apart from two enforced changes, he kept the same side for the Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and James Milner come into the starting line-up at Selhurst Park in place of the injured Joe Gomez and Emre Can respectively.

Otherwise, it is the same group of players who thrashed Watford 5-0 before the international break.

“We could have made another line-up, but we only made a line-up for the game,” said the manager.

“We have four days until the next game so there’s no reason to rest anybody after the two-week international break. [Then] we play Everton, then we play City again.

“For the start it was an easy decision to make – as strong as possible and still strong players on the bench. That’s how it should be.”
