Liverpool team predicted to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League at Anfield.
Liverpool can take another step closer to securing Champions League qualification when they face Crystal Palace at Anfield.
The Reds, who are fifth in the table, can open up an eight-point gap on sixth-placed Brighton should they deliver victory over the Eagles.
But Arne Slot’s side have lost three times in as many competitions to Palace this campaign. In addition, Liverpool are again set to have depleted options, especially in the goalkeeper department.
With everything in mind, here’s a look at how the Reds could line-up.
GK - Freddie Woodman
RB - Curtis Jones
Was excellent against Everton and there seems little reason why Slot will change things. Jones could be the option for the rest of the season.
CB - Ibrahima Konate
Admitted that he is on the verge of signing a new contract at Liverpool. He has been first choice all season despite his ups and downs.
CB - Virgil van Dijk
The Liverpool captain was the match-winner in the derby and will not want ay standards to drop.
LB - Milos Kerkez
It was not a surprise that Slot opted for the experience of Andy Robertson against Everton but it is likely that Kerkez comes back into the team.
CM - Ryan Gravenberch
Had some really good moments in the past two games breaking the press - but shooting needs to improve.
CM - Dominik Szoboszlai
Playing in a deeper role is undoubtedly his best position as he can use his pace and power to maraud forward.
RW - Mo Salah
Bagged three times in as many league games and will be hungry to continue that record.
AM - Florian Wirtz
Had his struggles in recent weeks but it appears that Slot wants the £100m signing to play through his bad patch.
LW - Rio Ngumoha
Really stepped things up in recent weeks as he adapts to senior football and the 17-year-old is a bona fide first-team player.
ST - Cody Gakpo
Produced an excellent assist for Salah's opener against Everton and the Netherlands international has had an upturn in recent weeks.
Pecsi, Frimpong, Gomez, Robertson, Mac Allister, Nyoni, Isak, Chiesa, Morrison.
