Liverpool will try to maintain their record-breaking start under new manager Arne Slot when they visit Crystal Palace on Saturday in the first game of the Premier League weekend.
The Reds picked up their eighth win in nine games under the Dutchman on Wednesday as they saw off Bologna in the Champions League and can extend their lead at the top of England’s top flight with victory at Selhurst Park.
Palace were magnificent in Oliver Glasner’s first six months in charge but his side’s only successes of the new campaign have come in the Carabao Cup, failing to secure any victories in their six league matches so far.
Palace boss Glasner is still searching for the winning formula this season but has been hamstrung by a few significant absentees so far in 2024/25. Chadi Riad, Chris Richards, Cheick Doucoure, Matheus Franca and Rob Holding are unavailable to the 50-year-old.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Liverpool (3-4-1-2): Henderson; Lacroix, Guehi, Lerma; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Eze; Nketiah, Mateta.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Palace (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota.
