Nat Phillips makes a surprise start for Liverpool tonight as they host Crystal Palace in their first home game of the Premier League season.
The Reds return to Anfield this evening as they take on Palace, looking to improve on their opening 2-2 draw at Fulham nine days ago.
That trip to Craven Cottage was a poignant experience for Jurgen Klopp, who questioned his players’ attitude afterwards and challenged them to respond.
And while injuries continue to pile up with problems for Thiago and Joel Matip in the build-up, it’s another strong Liverpool side to take the field tonight.
Alisson starts in goal, with Phillips taking Matip’s place in the back four a side Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk i Andy Robertson.
Fabinho keeps his place in midfield, but the absence of Thiago looks impressive Harvey Elliott gave a start to the side James Milner.
Mohamed Salah i Luis Diaz they stay on the flanks, with Darwin Nunez leading the line as a substitute for Roberto Firmino.
Klopp will be looking to manage the fitness issues of his entire squad, and is at least encouraged by the return of Kostas Tsimikas and Naby Keita, who take their places on the bench.
