Premier League 2024-2025: Liverpool-Crystal Palace, the likely lineups
Final match at Anfield for Liverpool, which after arithmetically clinching its 20th English title overall (its first since 2020) has had a less than satisfactory month of May, with two defeats against Chelsea and Brighton interspersed with a draw with Arsenal. On the final day, Arne Slot’s Reds will face Crystal Palace, winners of the FA Cup a few days ago.
The Dutch coach wants to close with another smile and will rely in attack, barring last-minute surprises, on Colombian Luis Diaz, supported on the three-quarter by Salah, Szoboszlai and Gakpo. Unavailable Mac Allister, in midfield space for Gravenberch and Jones. Bradley and Robertson will star on the two flanks.
On the other hand, Palace can still take the satisfaction of finishing among the top 10, to end in the best possible way the season that gave the first top title in the club’s 120-year history.
Nketiah will have the task of leading the attack, with the help of Sarr and Eze, the latter a match winner against Manchester City in the cup final. Former Lazio man Kamada will be one of the two central midfielders, along with Hughes.
Probable lineups:
LIVERPOOL (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Bradley, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz. All. Slot.
CRYSTAL PALACE (3-4-2-1): Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Lerma; Muñoz, Hughes, Kamada, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze; Nketiah. All. Glasner.
