Liverpool face Crystal Palace at Anfield on Sunday knowing a win will all but guarantee The Reds a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Thanks to an excellent four-game winning run, Jürgen Klopp’s men hold their Champions League qualification hopes in their own hands. If they can match or better Leicester’s result against Spurs, Liverpool will have finished in the top four.
Klopp will be without Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joël Matip, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keïta, Ozan Kabak, and Ben Davies.
Diogo Jota is also a doubt but Klopp has hinted that the Portugal international may be fit enough to play some part on Sunday.
Alisson Becker will continue between the sticks for The Reds with a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Nat Phillips, Rhys Williams, and Andy Robertson in front of him.
I think it will be the same starting eleven that won at Burnley on Wednesday night. That means a midfield trio of Fabinho, Gini Wijnaldum, and Thiago Alcântara.
The front three will be Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mané. If Jota is able to be in the squad then he may feature in the second half at some stage.
Predicted Liverpool lineup (4-3-3) vs Crystal Palace: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Williams, Robertson; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Mané
