Jurgen Klopp has made four changes to his starting lineup for the visit of Crystal Palace, with Diogo Jota replacing Darwin Nunez
Liverpool were embarrassed at Anfield just four days ago, but they can’t carry that result into tonight’s game because they still have a chance to finish in the top four.
Alisson is attempting to record a third consecutive Premier League clean sheet, despite his backline being forced to change.
Joe Gomez is ruled out due to injury, leaving Joel Matip to partner Virgil van Dijk alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson.
Jordan Henderson moves to the No. 6 position in midfield, while James Milner and Naby Keita replace him.
And Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Diogo Jota front the assault, with Liverpool’s No. 20 making his first start since October.
Nunez is not even in the matchday squad after being replaced midway through the second half in midweek by Fabio Carvalho.
After returning to training in midweek, Ibrahima Konate was considered insufficiently fit to sit on the bench, so Rhys Williams is in the squad.
Liverpool’s starting lineup is as follows: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Milner, Keita, Salah, Jota, and Gakpo.
Kelleher, Williams, Tsimikas, Fabinho, Bajcetic, Jones, Elliott, Carvalho, Firmino are the substitutes.
