When Andoni Iraola faced the press ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Selhurst Park, his directive to his players was unmistakable: increase the risk threshold in the final third. Iraola backed up those words by making five sweeping changes to his starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s clash against Crystal Palace.

Alexander Isak returns to the focal point of Liverpool’s attack after starting on the bench in midweek. Ronald Araujo starts at right-back opposite Milos Kerkez on the left, while Jeremy Jacquet retains his spot alongside captain Virgil van Dijk in the heart of the defense.

Young prodigy Rio Ngumoha takes his place among the substitutes alongside senior cover including Joe Gomez, Kostas Tsimikas, Wataru Endo, and Giorgi Mamardashvili.
