Diogo Jota’s goal in the ninth minute gave Liverpool a hard-fought victory that kept them atop the Premier League after seven games. Alisson and midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who was replaced midway through the game due to a groin issue, are both questionable for the team.
Alisson was replaced in the 79th minute of the trip to Selhurst Park due to a hamstring injury, missing the 3-0 victory over Bournemouth due to injury.
