Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.
Seeking an unprecedented ninth win from 10 games as Liverpool manager, Arne Slot takes his troops to Selhurst Park for a Premier League clash with Crystal Palace on Saturday lunchtime.
The Dutchman has already become the first Reds head coach in history to oversee eight victories from his first nine matches thanks to Wednesday’s 2-0 Champions League win over Bologna, where Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah were on target.
Liverpool also struck twice against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their most recent Premier League affair to leapfrog Manchester City at the top of the rankings, and they could open up a temporary four-point lead over the champions and Arsenal with victory in the 12.30pm kickoff.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Palace, who lie 18th in the table and are still searching for their maiden victory of the season.
