Liverpool will look to keep the winning vibes alive on Saturday when they make the trip to London to face Crystal Palace in Premier League action.

Arne Slot oversaw a much changed side during the midweek Carabao Cup victory over Southampton at Anfield, but it is fully expected he will return the Reds to near full strength for this one.

Hugo Ekitike will not be available though following his disappointing red card for a pair of very avoidable yellow cards in the win over the Saints, where he scored the winning goal.

With that in mind, there will still be a lot of firepower for Slot to turn to in this one so let's take a look at how Liverpool could lineup for this league fixture with Crystal Palace.

Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker

Defenders: Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk. Milos Kerkez

Midfielders: Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz

Forwards: Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo

POSSIBLE SUBS: Federico Chiesa, Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, Jeremie Frimpong, Rio Ngumoha

Alisson gets restored to the goal after getting the night off for Tuesday's win at Anfield.

The right-back position is going to be interesting for awhile until one player really takes the bull by the horns for several consistent matches.

Bradley could be in line to start after not getting a long run in the Southampton win. Szoboszlai could also be an option here.

While Andy Robertson played well on Tuesday, I think Slot will be eager to give Kerkez another crack at taking over the left side permanently and it could start on Saturday with a good outing.

Gravenberch, Macca and Wirtz all did not see any action in the League Cup tie, so they should be automatic starts for this one. All three could have huge roles to play. Once again, Szoboszlai could be an option here as well.

The attack should be straightforward following the Ekitike red card. Isak should be as close to match fitness as he has been since joining Liverpool and him starting is a no-brainer.

While Chiesa was outstanding in the Southampton match, he will probably be one of the first names called off the bench in the second half of play. Salah and Gakpo should have the wings locked in.

There is still great depth throughout the squad, so Liverpool should be able to field an impressive XI for this key meeting with the Eagles.
