Brendan Rodgers has made two changes to his Liverpool starting XI for the FA Cup fifth round clash against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Steven Gerrard, who was withdrawn during the Reds' 3-2 Barclays Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday due to a hamstring problem, comes out of the team to be replaced by Joe Allen.

Jordon Ibe, who has impressed in recent weeks with powerful displays against Everton and Spurs is cup-tied for the fixture, so Adam Lallana is restored to the team to start in his place.

Elsewhere, Liverpool are unchanged, with Mamadou Sakho, Martin Skrtel and Emre Can forming the bedrock of the side's defence and Daniel Sturridge notching a second start up front since returning from injury.

Liverpool's XI: Mignolet, Skrtel, Can, Sakho, Allen, Henderson, Moreno, Markovic, Coutinho, Lallana, Sturridge.

Substitutes: Ward, Johnson, Lovren, Lambert, Manquillo, Borini, Balotelli.
