DMC) Steven Gerrard
The captain anchors the side from central midfield, but can expect the likes of Mile Jedinak and Joe Ledley to snap at him all afternoon.
MC) Jordan Henderson
Rodgers has claimed Henderson is fit enough to start, despite missing England’s friendly with Scotland.
MC) Emre Can
The German is not actually 100%, but provides the kind of combative presence and strength we’ll badly need in midfield against Palace. He’s stronger and more dynamic than Joe Allen and Coutinho, and after his goal last time out against Chelsea, we reckon he’ll get the nod again.
