Liverpool will be looking to find their first EPL win of this season against Crystal Palace amid a few injuries in the squad.

Liverpool will be looking to record their first Premier League victory of the 2022–23 campaign when they host Crystal Palace at Anfield on Monday night.

Aleksandar Mitrovic’s header and penalty against Fulham sent the Reds two goals behind. This was until Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah went on to level the score.

Now, Jurgen Klopp’s team travels back to familiar surroundings in an effort to make up for last weekend’s mistakes. They go up against a Palace team whose first match went in a 2-0 loss to Arsenal.

Before the match against the Eagles, here are the most recent injury and suspension updates for Liverpool.
