There are fears that Thiago could be out for at least four and up to six weeks with the hamstring injury he picked up at Craven Cottage, as he joins Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Caoimhin Kelleher, Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones and Ibrahima Konate in the infirmary.
Joel Matip has also emerged as a late doubt for the game after missing training with a groin injury, but on a brighter note, Naby Keita has recovered from illness, and Kostas Tsimikas has a good chance of shaking off a knock to be involved.
Matip's possible absence could see the Van Dijk and Joe Gomez partnership renewed at Anfield, and Nunez has surely done enough to earn his first competitive start, with Roberto Firmino proving largely ineffective last weekend.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Keita; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Crystal Palace
Meanwhile, Palace new boy Cheick Doucoure was forced to leave the field with cramp against Arsenal but should be fine for the trip to Anfield, where Michael Olise could also return to the matchday squad.
Yet another setback has come the way of Nathan Ferguson as he remains out with a foot injury, joining James McArthur, James Tomkins and Jack Butland on the sidelines, but Sam Johnstone made the bench on the opening day.
Vicente Guaita may hold his place in between the sticks for the time being, while Odsonne Edouard's spot in the final third is under threat from the returning Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Guaita; Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Schlupp, Doucoure, Eze; Ayew, Mateta, Zaha
Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Crystal Palace
