Salah, Wirtz And Van Dijk To Start | 4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Crystal Palace | OneFootball

Liverpool will face off against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this Saturday evening as they hope to secure all three points on the road. The Reds managed to earn a hard-fought 2-1 win over Southampton recently, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.

Arne Slot will set his players up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a lot of changes to his first team for this clash. Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz and Virgil Van Dijk could all play from the start of this game.

Defence

Alisson Becker will feature in between the sticks for the Merseyside club after being rested in midweek. Ibrahima Konate will operate alongside Virgil Van Dijk at the centre of the Liverpool backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the game.

Conor Bradley will fill in as the right-back, while Milos Kerkez looks to impress on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.

Joe Gomez will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister will anchor the midfield for Liverpool as they look to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.

The gifted trio of Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo will function just ahead of them as part of Slot’s attack. All three of them need to combine well and engineer some clear-cut chances in the final third.

Curtis Jones, Wataru Endo and Rio Ngumoha will have to be content with a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Florian Wirtz will probably get the nod to lead the line for the Merseyside club in the final third. The German talent would be desperate to open his goal-scoring account for the Reds this weekend.

Alexander Isak will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the contest if Liverpool are in need of a goal. However, Hugo Ekitike is suspended for this game.
