Liverpool travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League, with kick-off scheduled for 2pm. The match is the Reds' final outing before the international break, and they will be eager to return to winning ways after consecutive defeats.
Liverpool Seek to End Losing Streak
After five straight victories in all competitions, Liverpool have lost back-to-back games under Andoni Iraola for the first time. The most recent setback was a Champions League defeat to Fenerbahce in Istanbul, following a loss to Arsenal. Dropping points against struggling Palace would be an unwelcome outcome heading into the break.
Iraola's side are expected to be favourites, but Palace have proven tricky opponents for Liverpool in recent years, winning three of the four encounters between the teams last season.
Team News and Injury Update
Liverpool will be without Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni for the match. The key question is the fitness of Ryan Gravenberch, who missed the midweek Champions League defeat with a troublesome heel injury.
Reds boss Andoni Iraola said: “The Ryan Gravenberch thing is a day-to-day thing. It's a matter of pain. Let's see if he can deal with the pain and if he can help us, yes.”
The Liverpool line-up will be revealed at 12.45pm, confirming whether Gravenberch has recovered in time.
Match Odds and Build-Up
Bookmaker bet365 lists Crystal Palace at 9/2, the draw at 10/3, and Liverpool at 4/7 for the full-time result. The odds suggest an away win is likely, but Liverpool supporters will be mindful of Palace's recent record against their team.
