    Your team v Crystal Palace

    Another away game, another early Saturday kick-off.

    Rotation is a massive issue at this stage of the season and a big game against Man United looms large on the Horizon. With the Europa League group stage settled, the Union SG game is as rubbery of a dead rubber as dead rubbers come.

    With that in mind, we have a glorious opportunity to rest some of the key lads for that Man United match if we can just negotiate this Palace match, a match which gives us the chance to go temporarily top and apply some pressure to sides like Arsenal.

    .......................Kelleher

    Trent.......Konate.......Van Dijk.....Tsimikas

    ........................Endo

    ..........Szoboszlai......Jones

    ......Salah........Núñez......Diaz

    Irrespective of whether he can "play through pain" or not, I am inclined to give Mac Allister every possible chance to recover and Endo deserves to be somewhere in the midfield on merit just now anyway, so Wataru would get the chance for me. Jones helps bring some height to the middle of the park and is a fairly "solid" option versus the more attacking intent of the likes of Elliott.

    Núñez over Gakpo for the pace and height combo.

    A win here would set us up so well. A victory lap is possible against Union SG, more pressure can be applied in the League against Man United and a place in a domestic Cup semi-final is a serious carrot for some of our newer lads. It would be great to enter the busy spell on the back of a win and I will cross everything for a professional 2-0 with no injuries or VAR controversies.

    I'd go with this team too, to be fair we're running out of players and choices.

    I'd go with Jones over Gravenberch for this one, I feel it's the more "safe" option, only choice in my eyes apart from that line-up is obvious

    Other choice is gakpo or Nunez.. but due to it being palace, I think nunez

    Statistically Crystal Palace is Jurgens favourite team to play against.Winning 12 out off 16 games against them.
    So nothing to worry about.
    Good strong start and we should take them apart. 0-3 .

    Points per game Klopp has a higher record versus a few clubs

    3 points per game v Norwich, Ajax & Sheff United.

    Yes, but we don't play those three teams as often as Palace and the like...

    At least you're working mate. Hopefully we'll get a early goal for you to enjoy before your shift.
