Liverpool are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table and next up they travel to Selhurst Park in order to take on Crystal Palace.

Palace are 12th on the league table with 15 points and have failed to pick up a win in their last four league games which is why no one really expects them to beat Liverpool on Saturday.

The Reds also managed to beat Man City 3-1 last weekend which is even more reason to believe that Klopp’s men will be soaring high in confidence and might just tear apart the Eagles.

But right now there are a few injury concerns for the Liverpool boss as he could very well be without six of his first-team players when they visit Selhurst Park.

Liverpool injury list:

#1. Joel Matip 

Knee injury – Ruled out against Cyrstal Palace.

Klopp said earlier this month: “Joel is not [be available] for the next few weeks.”

#2 Andrew Robertson

Ankle injury – missed Scotland’s matches during the international break and is also a big doubt for next weekend.

The full-back said: “I’ve had to listen to the people around me. The fact my ankle has swollen up again has made it easier to miss these games.”

#3 Joe Gomez

Knee injury – picked up during the international break – Doubtful vs Palace.

#4 Jordan Henderson

Illness – Doubtful vs Palace.

#5 Mo Salah

Ankle injury – Doubtful.

#6 Xherdan Shaqiri

Calf injury – Should be back after the international break but remains to be seen if he will be match-fit to feature in the matchday squad on Saturday.
