​Palace striker Benteke relishing Liverpool clash

Christian Benteke is looking forward to the reunion with his former club Liverpool on Saturday at Selhurst Park.

Benteke will come up against Liverpool for the first time since his £27million move to Crystal Palace.

The Belgium forward had a difficult time at Liverpool, scoring just 10 goals in 43 games before being sold by Jurgen Klopp.

"I look forward to every game," he said. "Not just because it is against Liverpool. But, of course, I am going to be happy because I will play against my old team-mates."
