Arne Slot has left Trent Alexander-Arnold on the bench as Liverpool finish the season at home to Crystal Palace.
Conor Bradley has started the last two matches and Slot said on Friday that he hadn’t decided how much game-time to give Alexander-Arnold on his Anfield farewell.

Slot named a strong squad on a day when Liverpool will lift the Premier League title.
Fringe players like Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott, Jarell Quansah and Kostas Tsimikas have been given starts in recent weeks, but most have been relegated to the bench today as Slot looks to end the season on a high. Chiesa has been left out altogether.
Joe Gomez is available again and Slot hopes he can feature. He starts from the bench today.
“Last weekend he was there with the team but was not able to play yet," Slot said of Gomez's fitness on Friday.
“He didn't tick all the boxes yet, but I think there was a spot open, so it was for me a moment where I could show my gratitude towards him to show what he's done on the pitch for us, but also off the pitch for us.
“He has had more impact on our success than the outside world might probably know. I am hoping he can make some minutes [on Sunday] if he ticks all the boxes this week.”
Mohamed Salah needs two goals to reach 30 Premier League goals for the season.
