Crystal Palace boss Vieira: More to Liverpool than Mane and Salah

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira insists there's more to Liverpool than Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.

The Reds will again be without their two main attackers, who are away competing at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, for Sunday's clash.

Vieira said: “Liverpool is a team. It is not just about those two players they are missing.

“Obviously with those two players they are stronger but there are still a couple of players who are playing well with fantastic talents, so the best way to describe this team, before talking about individual talents, is to talk about the team – and this is a strong team."

He added: “Liverpool are one of the greatest teams in Europe. The way they play, they can win, they can lose but you are always going to enjoy the way they play because of the intensity they are putting into the games.

“We are looking forward to playing them. It will be a challenge for us but our record at home has been good and we have to give them the game they expect, a difficult one."
