According to The Mirror, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is not going to include Ozan Kabak and Diojo Jota in the starting lineup against Crystal Palace even if they are fit.

The report has claimed that central defender Kabak and forward Jota have an ‘outside chance’ of being fit for the Premier League game between Palace and Liverpool at Selhurst Park in London on Sunday.

However, Klopp is likely to go with the team that won against Burnley in midweek, according to the report.

Liverpool won 3-0 against Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in midweek.

It was a good performance from the Reds.

Roberto Firmino scored, and so did defender Nathaniel Phillips, who also defended well.

True, Kabak is a good defender, but there is no point in Klopp breaking up the partnership between Phillips and Williams.

Mohamed Salah could win the Golden Boot, while Firmino scored against Burnley.

Jota has been injured, and even if he is passed fit against Palace, it would not be easy for the former Wolverhampton Wanderers star to just get back into the rhythm.
