Team News

Liverpool
Crystal Palace
  • Jurgen Klopp took a full-strength squad to Russia on Thursday night so there could be some tired legs among the players.
  • The Liverpool boss could go with the same 4-3-2-1 formation that served his side well against Chelsea last weekend, but there could be changes in personnel with Christian Benteke likely to return to the starting fold. Roberto Firmino would drop back in behind alongside Philippe Coutinho.
  • Daniel Sturridge isn't likely to be fit enough to start, but he could feature on the bench.
  • Alan Pardew can finally recall upon the services of Connor Wickham for the trip to Anfield. The former Sunderland striker hasn't featured since the end of August and Palace have struggled without a presence leading the line.
  • Papa Souare missed the 0-0 draw with Manchester United last weekend but Pardew has confirmed he will return to the starting XI this weekend.
  • Dwight Gayle has picked up a knock in training and is a doubt for the trip.

Prediction

  • The Liverpool players may struggle to adhere to Jurgen Klopp's relentless pressing game having made the 5,000 mile round trip to Russia on Thursday.
  • Crystal Palace will have felt aggrieved not to have beaten Manchester United last weekend, but should sense a real opportunity to end Klopp's unbeaten run as Liverpool manager. They've had a full week to prepare for this fixture and the return of Connor Wickham should give them a greater presence up front.
  • The Eagles did the double over Liverpool last season and should be confident of coming away with at least a point.

  • Sell coutinho to better club

  • People need to be patient with Liverpool and Klopp. I don't think they played that badly today they were just wasteful. They're a work in progress and it will take a couple of seasons for Klopp to get the players he needs and the team to gel.

  • Coutinho deserves a better team

  • Except Coutinho, whole lpool team is eligible for shuffle.

  • Come on Liverpool, need to take advantage of Chelseas poor form whilst we still can

  • 1-2 for C.Palace

  • @zardonic- Well done.

  • @SteveHyland tnx, i always do my best.

  • Liverpool to win 2-0 . Avoid the GG . Avoid the Ov25 . This Liverpool is transformed to defend deep and win with handicap 1 . That's 2-0 . And if crystal palace might score . Then 3-1 . Best market is Liverpool win at handicap -1

  • 3 - 1 Liverpool Win.

  • 3:3\3:1(CRY)\2:1(LIV)
