Arne Slot boys prepare for another important match in the league after the amazing 5-1 win against West Ham in the EFL Cup Round of 16. Winning five games and losing only one, Liverpool will try to keep their great form going with only one point behind Manchester City who is currently in the lead against Newcastle United from Josko Gvardiol’s goal.
For the match against Wolves, the Dutch manager will make a lot of changes compared to the midweek match where a lot of bench players made their first start of the season. Players like Conor Bradley, Kostas Tsimikas, Joe Gomez, Jarell Quansah, Curtis Jones, Wataru Endo, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa, all were starters in the recent win, having a great performance scoring five goals and conceding only one.
For today’s match against the Wolves, the lineup has major changes and Arne Slot will start with his main players to try and get closer to the first spot on the league table.
Alisson Becker who was injured after the UEFA Champions League match against AC Milan, will be back in goal, leaving Caoimhin Kelleher on the bench once again. The Irish goalkeeper had his chance to start in the last two matches, one against Bournemouth in which he kept a clean sheet and the team scored three past the Cherries, and the other match was against West Ham, in which he conceded only one goal but had an amazing performance.
In the defensive line we have Andrew Robertson as a left back, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as center backs and the vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold in the right back position.
The midfield trio is once again created by the most improved Liverpool player this season, Ryan Gravenberch who is having the best season of his career for the club and his national team, alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. The three of them are having a fantastic start to the season, dominating the midfield in each game.
Arne Slot once again will start Luis Diaz in the right wing, leaving Cody Gakpo on the bench who scored two late bangers against West Ham. Diogo Jota will take the 9 position, with Mo Salah being on the right wing.
Liverpool’s starting XI against Wolves: Alisson Becker, Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah.
The Reds expect another victory today, so they can keep up the pace with the top table Premier League teams like Manchester City and Arsenal.
