Palace boss Pardew names Dann captain for Liverpool trip

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has named Scott Dann as captain for their clash at Liverpool.

Dann, who is from Merseyside and a big Liverpool fan, will come against Steven Gerrard for the midfielder's final Anfield appearance.

Pardew said: "I'm going to make him captain on the day, because I think it will be a nice touch for him as Gerrard is someone he really looked up to."

Dann was named Palace's Player of the Year this week.
