Liverpool Starting XI vs Crystal Palace: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Lineup

Liverpool will face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday, November 8, with a mostly confirmed starting lineup. The only genuine injury concern for Liverpool is Ryan Gravenberch, who missed the Champions League match against Fenerbahce with a heel problem and remains a doubt for the game. Coach Andoni Iraola stated that Gravenberch is the only doubt, and his availability will be assessed day-to-day based on his pain tolerance.

If Gravenberch is unable to play, Liverpool has a few options. They could use Trey Nyoni alongside Alexis Mac Allister, providing a straightforward solution. Alternatively, they could deploy Dominik Szoboszlai deeper in midfield, with Florian Wirtz taking on the No10 role, creating more craft between the lines and a clearer attacking shape.

Striker Alexander Isak is expected to return to the starting lineup after missing recent games. He recently scored his first Champions League goal and his seventh overall, helping Liverpool to a 1-0 win over Arsenal. Bradley Barcola is predicted to return to a wide role, while Cody Gakpo is likely to take the opposite flank, providing more natural width for the team and better positioning for Isak.

The predicted starting lineup for Liverpool is as follows: Alisson, Rodney-Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Rodney-Kerkez, Dominik Szoboszlai/Wirtz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola, and Alexander Isak. Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni, Hugo Ekitike, and Conor Bradley are unavailable, while Ryan Gravenberch is doubtful for the match. Kick-off is scheduled for 2pm GMT on Sunday, November 8.
