Cleverley Starts Against Palace

Ronald Koeman has made one change to the side that was defeated by Bournemouth as Tom Cleverley starts in place of Kevin Mirallas for the visit of Crystal Palace.

Bryan Oviedo continues at left-back in the absence of Leighton Baines, who misses the matchday squad as he recovers from a hamstring injury.

The Costa Rica international is joined by captain Phil Jagielka, Ashley Williams and Seamus Coleman in defence, while Maarten Stekelenburg is given the nod in goal.

Gareth Barry and Idrissa Gueye anchor the midfield, with Yannick Bolasie, Ross Barkley and Tom Cleverley expected to take up more advanced positions.
