Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp faces defensive crisis against Crystal Palace with Joel Matip and Ragnar Klavan unlikely to feature at Anfield

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is facing a defensive crisis against Crystal Palace after confirming that Joel Matip and Ragnar Klavan are major doubts for the clash at Anfield.

The Reds will be eager to extend their excellent form in the run-in, starting with victory over Palace on Sunday, but Klopp was dealt another blow this week in training with Matip and Klavan both suffering knocks.

Adam Lallana, who suffered a thigh injury with England in March, will once more watch on from the stands despite returning to training, while Jordan Henderson may not play again this season.
