Liverpool have a number of senior absentees to deal with as they head into the busy festive season, but so too do their opponents this weekend.

Roy Hodgson will host his old side at Selhurst Park in Saturday’s early kick-off looking to turn fortunes around, but he will do so without several of his key players.

If it is too bold to suggest that victory from a poor performance is the hallmark of title winners, is it fair to say it is one of a team who can at least now be considered real challengers for it?

Not everything went to plan on the night but Liverpool got the win and that’s what Jurgen Klopp will deem important. The game does raise questions about who will play against Crystal Palace and how the manager will approach the next block of fixtures.
