Liverpool will hope to further cement their top-four spot in the Premier League when they face strugglers Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday, and Reds fans want Nathaniel Clyne to start at right-back to minimise the threat of Eagles winger Wilfried Zaha.
The Merseyside outfit suffered a big blow when Joe Gomez limped off with an ankle problem in the opening stages of England’s friendly win against the Netherlands in Amsterdam last week, and he now looks set to miss the trip to south London through injury.
Trent Alexander-Arnold may be in pole position to start on the right side of the back four against the tricky Ivory Coast international, although Clyne could also be in contention having returned to action for the U23 side in recent weeks after nearly a year on the sidelines through injury.
Liverpool supporters have been quick to have their say on Jurgen Klopp’s right-back conundrum via social media, and they want Clyne in the starting XI instead of Alexander-Arnold, who was criticised by the Anfield faithful following his display against Manchester United earlier this month.
While one said “Clyne needs to start against Palace”, another said “I’m hoping Clyne starts v Palace especially with Zaha playing”.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
