On Saturday (Oct. 5) at Anfield, Liverpool have the chance to go back to the top of the Premier League table when they host Crystal Palace (10am ET, watch live on NBCSN and online via NBC Sports Live Extra).

For Liverpool, Raheem Sterling could make an appearance in the starting lineup with Steven Gerrard or Jordan Henderson, perhaps, holding a more disciplined role in midfield due to the suspension of Lucas Leiva.

Possible starting lineups

Liverpool: Mignolet; Toure, Agger, Skrtel; Enrique, Henderson, Gerrard, Sterling; Moses; Suarez, Sturridge

Crystal Palace: Speroni; Ward, Mariappa, Gabbidon, Moxey; Dikgacoi, Jedinak, Bannan, Kebe; Gayle, Chamakh

Daniel Agger could return to the Liverpool team after sitting out of last Sunday’s win at Sunderland, although the back three of Kolo Toure, Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho barely put a foot wrong.

Definitely out with injuries are Philippe Coutinho, Glen Johnson, Aly Cissokho and Joe Allen whilst Lucas misses this game through suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season last weekend.

That could prompt Brendan Rodgers to move Jordan Henderson in from the right wing to play with Steven Gerrard in the centre of midfield, with Andre Wisdom adopting the right-wing-back role.
