Milner To Start, Wijnaldum On The Bench: Liverpool’s Predicted XI To Play Palace

Milner To Start, Wijnaldum On The Bench: Liverpool’s Predicted XI To Play Palace

Following a relatively comfortable win against Burnley midweek, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to make many changes for the crucial final game of the season against Crystal Palace tomorrow.

Alisson Becker will be selected in goal, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson taking up their customary positions at fullback.

In the centre of defence, Ozan Kabak is not expected to be available for the Palace clash, so Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams will likely continue their partnership.

Vice-captain James Milner came on as a substitute at Turf Moor, and his experience could be invaluable tomorrow. The 35-year-old could start alongside Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara, with Georginio Wijnaldum dropping to the bench.

Up front, it is unlikely that there will be any changes, with Diogo Jota still trying to shake off a foot injury. Sadio Mane and Moa Salah are expected to line up on the wings, with Roberto Firmino through the middle.

Liverpool’s Predicted XI To Face Crystal Palace:

Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Williams, Robertson, Milner, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah, Firmino, Mane
