How Liverpool could line up against Crystal Palace

How Liverpool could line up against Crystal Palace

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp could decide to select a strong first XI for Friday's pre-season friendly with fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace in Singapore.

Klopp named an inexperienced side from the start against Manchester United on Tuesday, with the Reds suffering a 4-0 loss to Erik ten Hag's side in Thailand.

The German made a host of changes in the 32nd and 61st minute of the clash with Man United, and the head coach is again expected to make full use of his squad for this match.

That said, the XI that take to the field for the first whistle should have a familiar look, with Virgil van Dijk, Thiago, Fabinho, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson all potentially coming into the side.

There could also be a spot in the final third of the field for Mohamed Salah, who played the final 30 minutes of the clash with the 20-time English champions.

Darwin Nunez made his debut for the Reds off the bench on Tuesday, but the Uruguay international could now be handed a spot in the first XI.

Klopp named a 37-man travelling squad for the tour of Thailand and Singapore, and a number of youngsters will be hoping to have more opportunities to impress over the course of pre-season.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Thiago, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
