Liverpool has won every game so far this season and will look to continue that 100 per cent record in the Premier League on Saturday with a trip to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace.
Hugo Ekitike will not be involved, though, as he was sent off for two bookable offenses against Southampton in the League Cup. Arne Slot said it was "stupid" and "needless" and the Frenchman has since apologized.
Ekitike being out could open the door for Florian Wirtz to return to the starting XI. Alexander Isak could make another start at number nine, however he only played 45 minutes midweek before coming off.
Federico Chiesa would be another option for Slot to go with. The Italian played well — and picked up two assists — against Southampton but is yet to really show his form in either the league or Champions League in a red jersey.
Stay tuned to the Liverpool.com live blog for all the latest updates. Arne Slot will hold a press conference on Friday morning, where he will offer an update on Giovanni Leoni and preview the weekend's game.
