# Liverpool: Fans rejoice as Curtis Jones in line to start against Crystal Palace

**Many Liverpool fans reacted in delight to the news that youngster Curtis Jones could be in line to start this afternoon’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.**

The Reds are set to take on the Eagles in the early lunchtime game at Selhurst Park in just a few hours time as Jurgen Klopp’s side look to maintain their lead at the top of the standings.

According to the Liverpool Echo (via [Anfield Watch](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1340063280585445377)), Jones, who received the [man of the match award](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12165396/curtis-jones-starred-for-liverpool-against-tottenham-at-anfield) during his team’s 2-1 win over Tottenham last time out, is likely to be in Klopp’s starting eleven.

The local boy accumulated a match rating of 7.22 in that game after winning four aerial duels, having three shots on goal and acquired a pass success rate of 93.8% ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/355354/MatchStatistics/Curtis-Jones)).
