Liverpool f.c. vs Crystal Palace f.c. lineups

Liverpool will be looking for their first win of the season after a stuttering start as they welcome a hungry Crystal Palace side to Anfield.

The Eagles might not be at their fluid best, and the Liverpool clash may have come at a wrong time. Jurgen Klopp needs a well-oiled machine to get the goals and get three points in decisive fashion. James McArthur and centre-back James Tomkins are on the road to recovery, but the Liverpool trip will come too soon for the duo. Recent history against the Reds does not favour Crystal Palace, who have lost their last ten Premier League games in a row to Klopp’s men, with their last victory at Anfield coming in April 2017. Nunez will be one of the players to watch, not just for this game but for the season alongside Manchester City star Erling Haaland. Liverpool will return to comfort of their home when they take on Crystal Palace at Anfield, and Jurgen Klopp will be keen to see his men register their first win of the new campaign. Jurgen Klopp has plenty of absentees for the home clash against Crystal Palace. As many as six first team stars are absent from the squad through injury issues. The Londoners have made plenty of changes to their playing squad, and some of the players are still getting to grips with the challenge at hand. There were signs of encouragement, but will that be enough to get a positive result against Liverpool at Anfield? They are already trailing Manchester City by five points, and the idea would be to keep this gap at a bare minimum in the opening few weeks of the campaign. They did not begin the season in optimal fashion, suffering a home loss to a formidable Arsenal side. In the draw at Craven Cottage, Liverpool also lost Thiago Alcantara to another injury, which will keep the Spaniard out of action for several weeks.
