Glasner Eyes Palace's Historic Liverpool Clash

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner provided a fitness update ahead of the Premier League fixture against Liverpool at Anfield. Adam Wharton has recovered from a groin issue and trained without problems, making him available for selection. Nathaniel Clyne is being assessed after falling ill, with a decision on his participation to be made closer to the game.

Glasner confirmed no new injuries in the squad, though Eddie Nketiah and Evann Guessand remain sidelined.
