The Premier League's oldest player will make his first start in over a year when Crystal Palace attempt to resist the attack that has taken Liverpool to first place.
Julian Speroni turns 40 in May and following injuries to fellow goalkeepers Vicente Guaita and Wayne Hennessey in last week's defeat by Watford will start for the first time since December 2017.
Palace are close to concluding the loan arrival of 21-year-old Brazilian Lucas Perri from Sao Paulo to provide them with further options in a move their manager Roy Hodgson insists is unrelated to the injuries to Guaita and Hennessey.
