The Reds were deserving of their loss at Selhurst Park, and Slot will be hopeful that it refocuses his squad as they look for another three points in the Champions League. Palace Liverpool’s 21-man travelling squad Goalkeepers: Alisson, Mamardashvili, Woodman Defenders: Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez, Bradley, Kerkez, Robertson, Frimpong Midfielders: Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Mac Allister, Jones, Endo Forwards: Salah, Isak, Ekitike, Gakpo, Ngumoha There are few certainties when it comes to Slot’s lineup, though Alisson is almost guaranteed his place with Giorgi Mamardashvili only taking on domestic cup action as it stands.

Slot does have a decision to make at centre-back following another sub-par performance from Ibrahima Konate, but he likely sticks with the Frenchman and Virgil van Dijk. Ekitike is back after suspension and should return from the start with Cody Gakpo to his left after he played only 45 minutes over the weekend.

This would make for four changes as Liverpool line up as follows: Szoboszlai and Robertson deployed at full-back Jones partners Gravenberch in midfield Gakpo and Ekitike return to the attack Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike There are other options to consider, including starting Frimpong and Joe Gomez on the right side of defence after they had their first run out together against Southampton. Mac Allister needs minutes to play himself into form and will be considered alongside Gravenberch, with a pre-planned substitution also to be in mind for the Argentine: Frimpong, Gomez and Robertson come into the defence Mac Allister, Gravenberch and Szoboszlai all start Alisson; Frimpong, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Ekitike There will, rightly, have been calls for Chiesa to get a much-deserved start after his goal at Palace, but he was not part of the travelling squad despite training on Monday.
