Slott: Herafenberg missed this game with a childbirth, and it will be very difficult to play against Crystal Palace
Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace starts, Heraffenberg is not on the list.
Liverpool coach Slott confirmed in a pre-match interview that Heraffenberg was absent from the game due to childbirth. "Hrafenberg was a dad last night," Slot said. For the four new players who started today, Slot said, "Ideally, you want to play the best game.
"But we also know how difficult it is to play against Crystal Palace, because there is a reason they can stand here: they beat Aston Villa in the (FA Cup) semifinals and beat Manchester City in the final.
"And at the end of last season, neither Arsenal nor we were able to beat them at their own home court. We know how important and smart it is to keep the team intact, because that's what we did last season, and we know the end result.
"Crystal Palace sent out a lineup today that was almost the same as the entire season last season. So, we face huge challenges. ā
