Eagles clash
Klopp and co. are set to return to action shortly.
The Reds will welcome Roy Hodgson’s Palace to Anfield, as part of the final round of Premier League fixtures.
Liverpool, unlike their opponents, head into proceedings with it all to play for, amid a tense battle for Champions League football in the English top-flight.
As things stand, the Merseysiders occupy the final top-4 berth, on the back of four straight league wins.

Leicester City, though, too sit on 66 points, meaning any slip up on Liverpool’s part could prove hugely costly, following an altogether challenging campaign to date.
Henderson returns
In turn, Jurgen Klopp was no doubt desperate to have as close to a fully fit squad as possible at his disposal this evening.
And, as outlined above, ahead of the clash getting underway, the Reds have indeed been handed a boost on the personnel front.
This comes in the form of confirmation that Diogo Jota and, notably, Jordan Henderson have returned from respective spells on the sidelines, to take their spots in the club’s matchday squad to face Palace:

Elsewhere, meanwhile, Georginio Wijnaldum has been handed a starting berth in the middle of the park, in his potential farewell appearance at Anfield.
The Dutchman’s contract is of course due to expire next month, with an exit looking a near certainty:
