# Predicted Liverpool XI v Crystal Palace

I really don’t like playing Crystal Palace. It’s just a little bit too raw.

A Liverpool side fresh from a midweek kicking of Manchester City will travel to South London for a Sunday match at a venue that has been of great pain to Reds fans in recent years.

Nevertheless, boss Jürgen Klopp’s first trip to Selhurst Park could be one to remember for the Liverpool supporters, especially if the team can resemble anything close to the form they showed against City.

Klopp emphasised the need to stay “angry” during the week, and the inclusion of technically limited players with some fire in them could be commonplace between now and the end of the season.

Liverpool face an injury setback in the form of Lucas Leiva, who, having impressed at centre-back in the League Cup final, is set to miss up to six weeks with a thigh injury.

Here’s how we expect the team to line up on Sunday.
