Liverpool hosts Crystal Palace at Anfield today, aiming for a third consecutive Premier League victory. A win would significantly boost their Champions League qualification hopes for next season. Furthermore, a triumph could see the Reds leapfrog Aston Villa and draw level with Manchester United, who play their fixture on Monday. However, Crystal Palace arrives motivated, seeking a unique fourth victory over Liverpool this season. The London side has already bested the Reds in the Community Shield, their Premier League clash at Selhurst Park, and the Carabao Cup last-16 tie, also played at Anfield. Crystal Palace is currently on a four-match unbeaten run in the league and is set to face Shakhtar Donetsk in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final in a few days.
Arne Slot has made two changes to the Liverpool lineup following the Merseyside derby against Everton. Freddie Woodman starts in goal due to Giorgi Mamardashvili's injury and Alisson Becker's continued recovery. Alexis Mac Allister comes into the midfield, replacing Ryan Gravenberch, who starts on the bench. Also among the substitutes are Frimpong, Kerkez, Ngoumou, and Joe Gomez, who returns to the squad after his latest injury layoff. 18-year-old Will Wright is also included on the bench.
Oliver Glasner has made four changes to his Crystal Palace side. Adam Wharton, Daichi Kamada, Ismaila Sarr, and Jean-Philippe Mateta all return to the starting XI.
