Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Diogo Jota and Ozan Kabak are unlikely to feature for Liverpool in their final match of the season at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Jota suffered a foot injury in the recent win at Manchester United, while Kabak is suffering with a muscle problem and may have already played his last game for the club having only joined on loan in January from Schalke.

Jurgen Klopp has up to eight first-team players ruled out for this weekend's game at Anfield, including defenders Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Ben Davies.

Captain Jordan Henderson is unavailable with a groin strain, while Naby Keita (muscle) will be assessed before kickoff to see whether he can feature against the Eagles.

Nat Phillips, who scored his first goal for the club against Burnley in midweek, is set to partner Rhys Williams in the heart of the defence, allowing Fabinho to remain in central midfield.

The Brazilian could be joined by Thiago Alcantara and Georginio Wijnaldum, who could potentially be playing his final game for Liverpool this weekend, as the 30-year-old has yet to sign a new contract, with his current deal expiring in June.

Klopp is unlikely to make too many changes to his starting lineup, which could see Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane all keep their places in attack.

Liverpool's front three have scored a combined 19 Premier League goals for the Reds against Palace; only against Arsenal (20) have the trio scored more goals against a single top-flight opponent during their time at the club.

Salah will also be looking to claim his third Premier League Golden Boot in four years on Sunday. The Egyptian – who found the net twice in Liverpool's 7-0 demolition against Palace in December – is currently level with Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane on 22 goals.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, R. Williams, Robertson; Thiago, Fabinho, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane
