Darwin Nunez leads the line as the defensive line is changed.
By Paul Gorst Ibrahima Konate appears to be the newest Liverpool player to withdraw with the feared "muscle injury" after making only one start all season. Although Anfield sources continued to say that he hadn't been ruled out of today's crucial match against Manchester City, all the indications are worrying.
If Konate is ruled out, the choice will then be made based on Joe Gomez's status and whether James Milner will start at right-back or not. Additionally, it has an impact on midfield in case Fabinho decides to move back to the center of the park if Jurgen Klopp
At least more alternatives are available up top. Will Darwin Nunez continue in his current position as he attempts to score three goals in as many games? Will Roberto Firmino be permitted to continue if he is ineligible? What concerning Diogo Jota?
Mohamed Salah will likely start again given his six minutes and 12 seconds of Champions League experience at Ibrox, according to another specific idea. Additionally, Andy Robertson rejoins my team today.
Alisson; Gomez; Fabinho; Van Dijk; Robertson; Henderson; Thiago; Salah; Firmino; Jota; Nunez make up my team (4-2-3-1).
Fear not, there is another right-back.
Inigo Doyle Even though one of the clubs isn't particularly good right now, it's a match between the two best English teams during the past five years.
And when better than during Manchester City's visit to the Premier League to remind everyone that Jurgen Klopp's team can genuinely play football. Except that several important players who normally fill those positions are absent.
The formation will be our first topic. That's 4-2-3-1. Let's move to the top, where Darwin Nunez restarts. Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota are coming back on the right and left flanks, respectively, with Roberto Firmino following after him.
Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho are two possible midfielders.
That naturally leaves the defense.
With Virgil van Dijk as one of the center-backs, Andy Robertson can fill in at left-back. Joe Gomez moving across could assist him. The right back, too? Nobody else but Jordan Henderson.
Yes, I bet none of you anticipated that, did you? And City won't either. You can afterwards refer to me as a management genius.
Alisson, Henderson, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah, Firmino, Jota, and Nunez make up my team (4-2-3-1).
With Mohamed Salah in the middle and Fabinho at the back
Sean Bradbury: Unpredictability is undoubtedly Liverpool's best chance right now.
Erling Haaland and Manchester City appear to be heavy favorites for the match, according to all the data. Giving Pep Guardiola an unexpected puzzle to solve could therefore be the best course of action to take first.
Defense is lacking, thus if Ibrahima Konate is ruled out, I would make the dramatic move of inserting Fabinho into the backline. He is joined by Joe Gomez (at right-back), Andy Robertson, and Virgil van Dijk.
Harvey Elliott and Diogo Jota will play on the wings, with Thiago and Jordan Henderson starting in the middle. Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez are paired up top.
It could be a little out of the ordinary, but you have the option to be adaptable and adjust it as the game goes on.
Alisson; Gomez; Fabinho; Van Dijk; Robertson; Elliott; Henderson; Thiago; Jota; Salah; Nunez make up my team (4-4-2).
Ibrahima Konate is passed over in favor of Nat Phillips.
Carolina Coates: At the moment, this is about as difficult as it gets in football, as Manchester City travels to Anfield in an effort to further hurt Liverpool's Premier League season.
Over the past few years, these two teams have faced off against one another, but things now appear to be different because City enters this matchup with a 13 point advantage over their opponents.
Although this season's priorities may be different, the competition is still as strong as ever because Liverpool will not give up easily and may even shock a few people here.
Alisson Becker will be playing goal.
Problems arise in the defense since Ibrahima Konate did not show up for training on Friday. Trent Alexander-injury Arnold's will prevent him from taking Trent Gomez's spot at right-back. Nat Phillips will be Virgil van Dijk's partner, and Andy Robertson will move back to left back.
To accompany Thiago Alcantara in the middle of the field, Klopp will reassign Fabinho to the midfield. A formidable front four consisting of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez will attack for the Reds.
