Liverpool face one final huge game this season as they host Crystal Palace in a crunch game at Anfield.
The Reds beat Burnley in midweek, meaning it’s now seven wins in the last nine league outings for Jurgen Klopp’s men, dropping just four points in that run.
With a win today, Liverpool will be into the Champions League having looked well out of the race just a matter of weeks ago.
Klopp will have decisions to make on his starting XI to get Liverpool over the line, and here’s our predicted lineup for today’s game…
Barring any late injury or illness issues, Alisson will surely start in goal for Liverpool this afternoon – though don’t expect him to repeat his goalscoring exploits of last weekend.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson are almost nailed on as the full backs, whilst Ozan Kabak could be available.
We’re still expecting Nathaniel Phillips and Rhys Williams to start at centre back though, rather than risk throwing Kabak in for such a big game.
Fabinho will almost certainly start in the holding midfield role, whilst we’re backing Thiago and Georginio Wijnaldum to join him in the engine room in what could be the latter’s final game for Liverpool.
Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane will surely start out wide, flanking Roberto Firmino after his goal against Burnley in midweek.
Diogo Jota may well be available for today’s game, but may be best used as an impact substitute rather than replacing one of Klopp’s big hitters in attack.
Kabak could join Jota on the bench, alongside Adrian, Kostas Tsimikas, James Milner, Curtis Jones, Xherdan Shaqiri, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Divock Origi.
Liverpool predicted lineup today: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, R Williams, Phillips, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago, Wijnaldum; Salah, Mane, Firmino.
