Liverpool continue their attempts to reach Wembley with a trip to Crystal Palace for an FA Cup fifth round tie on Saturday evening. The Reds have beaten AFC Wimbledon and Bolton Wanderers so far in the competition to set up a clash with Alan Pardew's team. Brendan Rodgers' side will be seeking revenge for a 3-1 reversal at Selhurst Park in the Barclays Premier League earlier this season too.

This Is Anfield: How Liverpool Could Line Up Against Crystal Palace
Excerpt...
Quote:
 
As we’ve seen throughout this competition this season, Rodgers will play a strong side – something Colin Pascoe confirmed at his pre-match press conference on Thursday. Therefore, despite having big games against Besiktas and Southampton within a week of this fixture, we’re unlikely to see too many changes.

Rodgers may opt to rest one or two key players, meaning the likes of Fabio Borini could get an expected recall.

Surely Rodgers wouldn’t play Johnson in this game after he’s been torn apart on the Reds’ last two visits to Selhurst Park by Yannick Bolasie. So Lovren, if Can does move into midfield, would the one you’d expect to come into the side. A strong XI, moving Can into midfield and resting Coutinho would look like:

Or keeping the back three unchanged and Sterling still being out injured, we could see:

Regardless of its significance, FA Cup victory is in Liverpool’s sights and with some of the Premier League big boys having already been eliminated, Saturday’s game presents the Reds with a big chance to take another step closer towards reaching Wembley.

Crystal Palace make five changes to the side that drew with Newcastle in their last game. Defender Pape Souare makes his debut for the club while Scott Dann, Yannick Bolasie, Dwight Gayle and Fraizer Campbell all come in. Mario Balotelli's goalscoring heroics against Tottenham have not earned him a place in the starting XI for Liverpool. He is on the bench, with Daniel Sturridge leading the line. Instead, Brendan Rodgers' two changes sees Joe Allen and Adam Lallana make starts.

--Crystal Palace XI: Speroni, Kelly, Dann, Hangeland, Souare, Bolasie, Ledley, Ward, Gayle, Chamakh, Campbell.
--Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Skrtel, Can, Sakho, Allen, Henderson, Moreno, Markovic, Coutinho, Lallana, Sturridge.

"Liverpool are playing exceptionally well at the moment. Daniel Sturridge is back, and he is a little bit rusty but because of his movement alone he could have had a hat-trick in the first half against Tottenham. Crystal Palace are a great counter-attacking side and there will be a red hot atmosphere at Selhurst Park but I just think Liverpool are riding the crest of a wave right now. They are playing such fast and exciting football that I can't see them losing."

"Alan Pardew has had an outstanding start as Crystal Palace manager but Liverpool's season has also changed completely in recent weeks. Reds boss Brendan Rodgers has established a system that works with the players they have got, plus they have got competition for places and Daniel Sturridge is back fit.

"Jordon Ibe's emergence is a bonus too - he has come through and has done extremely well, and it is like having a new signing. Liverpool have pace, youth, lots of different attacking options and a nice balance to their side. I think their FA Cup run is going to continue."

"Crystal Palace will be quietly confident given the home record they have against Liverpool. They drew 3-3 last season, which everybody says cost Liverpool the Premier League title, and the 3-1 win at Selhurst Park earlier this season will give them so much confidence. One of my favourite players this season so far has been Yannick Bolasie. Every time he gets the ball he takes people on and as Palace counter they could cause Liverpool real problems because they lack pace."

-Tim G: Disappointed that Emre Can hasn't replaced Gerrard in midfield. He can become a Liverpool great in that position.
-SoundbeatUK: Hope Liverpool take revenge on Palace. They cost us the title last season. I want a heavy win please boys.

Marouane Chamakh wins a free-kick deep on the left wing and it's headed tamely into the hands of Simon Mignolet in the Liverpool goal. I saw that Mignolet credited his partner with revitalising his career this week. She's a miracle worker.

Liverpool seeing plenty of early ball, Jordan Henderson to the fore. The men in yellow construct a neat passing move together which ends with Daniel Sturridge miscuing a volley wide. Difficult height for him to strike.

It's as if David Pleat has a crystal ball. Palace have their first counter which frees Dwight Gayle down the left, pace to burn, but his cross is well cut out by Martin Skrtel. In fact, it bounced up off his foot and on to his arm.
Good defending though.

Liverpool have had 78% of the ball so far. Utterly dominant - yet it's Palace who have had the one break of note. Is that the pattern set for the game?

"A brilliant interception from Martin Skrtel (see 9 mins). The ball did bounce up and hit his hand but it was absolutely accidental. There was nothing the centre-back could do about that."
