Forecast Main negative
(13) Liverpool vs Crystal Palace (18)
Liverpool
Thiago is sidelined due to a leg injury and his absence will have a big impact on Liverpool. In addition, Cornett and Jota are also unable to play in this game, and Elliott is expected to play in the starting lineup. Nunez also did well off the bench in his last game against Fulham, and he may have replaced Firmino in the front this game.
Liverpool's transfer window is relatively calm and there is no big move, except for the signing of Darwin Nunez for 75 million euros just after opening the window, there is no reinforcement next. The introduction of Núñez is only a substitute for Sadio Mane's transfer to Bayern, not a reinforcement for the squad.
Crystal Palace
Johnstone slowly regained his fitness and returned to the game, but goalkeeper Batlan missed the game due to injury. Tomkins, MacArthur and Ollis all missed the game.
Manager Vieira will make some changes to the starting line-up for the previous game, and Matta will replace Eduardo in the front.
Last season's 12th place definitely satisfied the top management, this West London team has been wandering in the league has not broken through, but the home team has enough strength to beat Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United three in a row, facing the league champions Manchester City 1 win and 1 draw to get such a report card, enough for the top management to give Vieira a contract extension.
