Liverpool Expected to Restore Key Players Against Crystal Palace

Liverpool head into the November 8 visit to Selhurst Park after losses to Arsenal and Fenerbahçe ended a run of five straight victories. Crystal Palace have also struggled, losing their last three league matches and winning once in their past seven games in all competitions.

The projected Liverpool lineup has Alisson in goal, with Ronald Araújo, Jérémy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkez in defense. Jacquet was criticized for parts of his performance against Fenerbahçe, though he leads Liverpool in Premier League tackles and interceptions this season. Jean-Philippe Mateta is suspended for Palace, leaving Van Dijk likely to face Jørgen Strand Larsen.

Trey Nyoni could earn another league start after scoring his first senior goal midweek. Alexis Mac Allister is expected to retain his midfield place even if Ryan Gravenberch is fit. Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola are projected to support striker Alexander Isak, with Barcola moving back to a wide role. Liverpool will be seeking a fifth league clean sheet of the season from Alisson; Isak has scored twice in eight previous meetings with Palace.
