Liverpool will be without new striker Darwin Nunez for their upcoming fixture against Manchester United after he was sent off for violent conduct against Crystal Palace on Monday.
Nunez made a good start to life in the Premier League after scoring on his debut against Fulham on the opening weekend, which earned him a starting berth in his first match at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp's side were 1-0 down to Palace following Wilfried Zaha's fine first-half opener when Nunez saw red midway through the second 45.
The Uruguayan striker was grabbed by Palace centre-back Joachim Andersen and reacted by headbutting the Dane, giving referee Paul Tierney little choice but to brandish a straight red card. The dismissal will see Nunez suspended for next Monday's trip to Old Trafford.
