Liverpool travel to Crystal Palace aiming for an eighth consecutive victory in all competitions. Six of Liverpool\u2019s wins this season have arrived with goals in the 83rd minute or later, with last weekend\u2019s Merseyside derby victory over Everton the only game in which they did not require a last-gasp decider. Arne Slot\u2019s side sit five points clear of second in the Premier League and will be content as long as the points continue to arrive.<\/p>\n
Oliver Glasner\u2019s Crystal Palace arrive in excellent form. The capital side are unbeaten in their last 17 matches and will match a club record should they avoid defeat. Those positive results are tempered by a poor recent Selhurst Park record against Liverpool, with 10 defeats in their last 11 meetings at the ground.<\/p>\n
Isma\u00efla Sarr returns for Palace and Glasner has confirmed his availability for Saturday. Only against Aston Villa has Sarr scored more than the four goals he has produced in fixtures with Liverpool. Palace will be without Caleb Kporha, Cheick Doucour\u00e9 and Chadi Riad, while Romain Esse will play with the club\u2019s Under-21s at Manchester United rather than face Liverpool. Y\u00e9remy Pino will also return after suffering a knock at West Ham United last weekend, with Glasner revealing he\u2019s recovered from a bone bruise in his knee. Marc Gu\u00e9hi will face the club he almost joined on Deadline Day after completing a medical with the Reds before Palace pulled the plug on the deal.<\/p>\n
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs. Liverpool (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Gu\u00e9hi; Mu\u00f1oz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Kamada; Mateta.<\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s midweek win came at a cost. Ekitik\u00e9 will now be suspended for the Palace trip after being needlessly sent off and Giovanni Leoni is set for approximately a year on the sidelines after tearing his ACL on his debut. Alexander Isak will replace Ekitik\u00e9 and Slot has confirmed the Swede will be able to feature for around 60 to 70 minutes at Selhurst Park. Slot should recall Florian Wirtz to the starting lineup, with Dominik Szoboszlai potentially missing out.<\/p>\n
Liverpool predicted lineup vs. Crystal Palace (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Bradley, Konat\u00e9, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak.<\/p>\n
Palace\u2019s defensive record this term \u2014 just three conceded in eight matches \u2014 and their Community Shield display suggest they can trouble a Liverpool side that has kept only two clean sheets and required stoppage-time winners in away games at Newcastle and Burnley. Late drama could again prove decisive at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
