Liverpool FC: Matip Hopeful Of Facing Palace This Weekend

--Joel Matip is hopeful of being fit to face Crystal Palace on Sunday despite the muscle injury he picked up against West Bromwich Albion last weekend.

Matip sustained the problem during Liverpool’s 1-0 victory at The Hawthorns, with Jürgen Klopp revealing in today’s press conference at Melwood that the centre-back is doubtful for the meeting with the Eagles.

The boss did say, though, that it is ‘not 100 per cent that Joel cannot play’ - a message echoed by the defender himself later on Thursday.

“I’m hoping, but as the coach said I’m still struggling to be available for Sunday. I’m still fighting to get back,” Matip told Liverpoolfc.com.

“It’s a muscle problem, a muscle issue. But I will do my best to be available for the coach and for the team.

“During the game [against West Brom] I felt this and I had a few problems, but I could continue the game and that was the main thing on this day.”

(BBC Sport) Liverpool v Crystal Palace (16:30)
--Predictable stuff from Anfield. Liverpool are unchanged. Mamadou Sakho can't play for Palace against his parent club, so James Tomkins comes in.

(The Guardian) (....from The Guardian's) Dominic Fifeld’s excellent interview with Mamadou Sakho....

For Mamadou Sakho, there is no satisfaction to be had in vindication. He has known for over a year he had done nothing wrong, and that the fat burner containing higenamine, for which he tested positive after helping Liverpool to Europa League progress beyond Manchester United, was not included on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s prohibited list. Uefa had admitted as much last July before, in the first section of a 104-page dossier released this weekby its control, ethics and disciplinary body, the blame game over the player’s ban degenerated into petty finger-pointing between the governing body and Wada.

The real victim, the man who had been denied involvement in a cup final and a place in the host nation’s squad at Euro 2016, can only watch as the bickering shames the authorities. “I worked so hard to prepare myself for the European Championship, to help my country, to wear the France shirt in a tournament on home soil,” says Sakho. “Now I’ll never do that. Whatever they say or do, they cannot replace what they took away from me. My lawyer can see what happens next but, for me, I focus on other things. I have learned in life you should never look back over your shoulder, wondering what might have been. That is the past. Always look forward, at the next challenge. It’s life. Good and bad things happen, but my mentality is always to try and find a positive. It is the only way to be and, today, I am really happy.”

(The Guardian) Rhian Brewster is on the bench today for Liverpool, should they need a ridiculously talented 17-year-old to come on later to add some attacking threat. It would be his Premier League debut if he does come on, although it sounds like Jurgen Klopp has stamped Save For A Later Date on Brewster’s forehead: “Rhian Brewster did really well last week and he is a natural striker, if we need it,” he told the Liverpool website. “It is not sure that we will bring him [on] because Marko Grujic can play this position also, but we don’t have a lot of options so that’s our squad and everything is fine.” Joel Matip and Lucas Leiva have both passed fitness tests and will start.

(The Guardian) Just one change for Palace, with Sakho unable to play against Liverpool seeing as he is on loan from Anfield. Tomkins takes his place “[Tomkins] has other qualities and is a good communicator,” says Sam Allardyce with a nice bit of faint praise. They should have got Tomkins to do the pre-match interview - apparently, he’s a good communicator. And he has other qualities too.

*reading the above* ...and with Untied's 2-0 win over Burnley earlier this morning, it becomes ever more important for Liverpool to get the three points today....

(The Guardian) 1 min: And we’re off. Clyne makes a early foray down the right before spreading it out to Lucas and Countinho but the resulting shot is blocked by Palace legs.

(The Guardian) 5 min: Corner to Liverpool, taken by Coutinho but it’s hit too hard and Palace can clear. Peter Oh, who I am beginning to suspect works for World Book Day, has emailed in his favorite quote from a football biography. Big Sam’s off all people: “I squeezed into some very tight black pants and nailed the Moonwalk. I’ve even dressed up as Cheryl Cole.”

...its' World Book Day, in case you're wondering...
