Liverpool vs Crystal Palace predicted team: Mohamed Salah must start
Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah
With Salah back in business, except Minamino to take up a place on the bench and be ready to be used as an impact sub.
Divock Origi was brought on for Roberto Firmino but it’s unlikely that the Belgian will start. Despite the short turn-around time, the use of five substitutes means that it’s less risky to start these players two games in a row and have the security of substitution.
The need to get this win under Liverpool’s belt means that I think Sadio Mane will also be in the first XI and hopefully he’ll be able to get in behind Palace more regularly than he did against Everton.
Carlo Ancelotti really set the bus out and both Klopp’s wingers struggled to get behind the line of four, and Liverpool will need to find a way to move them around and then penetrate the defensive line.

With Salah in the side, the Reds will inject some pace, direct running and an elite level finishing ability to the attack. Firmino and Mane also have a good working relationship with the Egyptian, which should enable those little intricate moves that rely on those relationships.
Who do you think should start, and will Firmino and Mane be ready to go again?
