Crystal Palace vs Liverpool – Team News
Crystal Palace’s only concern from last weekend was Yeremy Pino, who was withdrawn at half-time with a knee complaint. However, the winger has trained this week and is expected to be fit for selection.
Ismaila Sarr has also shaken off a thigh issue sustained in the 3-0 win over Aston Villa at the end of August, which could put Daichi Kamada’s starting spot at risk.
Even so, Palace remain without five key players: Cheick Doucoure (knee), Chadi Riad (knee), Walter Benitez (finger), Odsonne Edouard (Achilles), and Caleb Kporha (back), all of whom miss out for the visit of the holders.
For Liverpool, Hugo Ekitike will serve a one-match ban following his red card in the EFL Cup, meaning Alexander Isak is expected to be handed his full Premier League debut.
However, the bigger blow for Arne Slot’s side was the news that teenage centre-back Giovanni Leoni has suffered an ACL injury, likely ruling him out for the rest of the season.
Otherwise, Slot has a fully fit squad to choose from and is expected to make wholesale changes after rotating heavily against Southampton. The main decision for the Liverpool boss is whether to recall Florian Wirtz, who was benched for the Merseyside derby.
