The race for the title continues in the Premier League. On the 33rd day, Liverpool host Crystal Palace (kick-off 3:00 p.m., match to follow on FM). After Manchester City’s victory against Luton on Saturday (5-1), Liverpool finds itself third, two points behind Cityzens and tied with Arsenal, which hosts Aston Villa (5:30 p.m.). Victory is therefore mandatory for the Reds, swept at home on Thursday by Atalanta Bergamo in the Europa League (0-3). For its part, Palace must still ensure its maintenance. With 30 pts, the Londoners, 15th, are only five points ahead of Luton, first relegation.
For this meeting, Jurgen Klopp finds Alisson. The Brazilian goalkeeper starts for the first time since February 4. The Frenchman Konaté is present in central defense with Van Dijk. Young Bradley starts on the right while Robertson is on the left. Jones accompanies Endo and Mac Allister in the middle while Nunez is supported by Diaz and Salah up front. On the Palace side, we find the Tricolore Olise in front in support of Mateta with Eze. Clyne is aligned from the start as a right piston in Oliver Glasner’s 3-4-3. Behind, we find the former OL player Andersen.
The official compositions:
Liverpool: Alisson – Bradley, Van Dijk, Konaté, Robertson – Jones, Endo, Mac Allister – Salah, Nunez, Diaz.
Crystal Palace: Henderson – Lerma, Andersen, Munoz – Clyne, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell – Olise, Mateta, Eze.
