Liverpool’s Predicted Lineup against Chelsea, Nunez and Keita starts

 


An under-fire Liverpool side will be gunning for their first league win of the new year when they welcome Chelsea to Anfield this Saturday in the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have been defeated twice on the bounce to Brentford and Brighton since the turn of the year but would take some solace from their 1-0 win over Wolves last time out in the FA Cup.

Let us now take a look at how Jurgen Klopp might set up his Liverpool side for the upcoming game –

LIVERPOOL’S PREDICTED LINE UP 

4-3-3

Alisson Becker will be the man between the goalposts for the home side Liverpool with the Brazilian certain to take over the goalkeeping duties from Caoimhin Kelleher.

In the backline, Virgil van Dijk remains sidelined for the coming weeks which should see Joel Matip partner Ibrahima Konate as the two centre-backs.

Skipper Jordan Henderson is likely to stage a return to the starting XI with the England midfielder expected to be joined by Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho.

Darwin Nunez could be deemed fit to make the XI after being ruled out of the Wolves clash as he is poised to provide company to Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo up top on the pitch.

  Alan Hutton has backed Liverpool to sign Argentine star Enzo Fernandez as well as Cody Gakpo. Jurgen Klopp knows that he is a man that needs to delve into that transfer kitty and add some players to the squad that can make a real difference to the side – and that has led to all sorts of speculation. Fernandes is a player that made a massive impact at the World Cup and there are now alot of big clubs interested in a potential deal for his services – especially as he proved that he is ready to take that next step in his career. Liverpool have just completed the transfer signing of Cody Gakpo – who is one of the best young players in the game – but there is more talk that more players will be arriving. And When asked if signing Gakpo will put the Reds off spending big money in January, Hutton told Football Insider: “Not necessarily. “I think the midfield situation is somewhere they need to improve. “I think Gakpo is a brilliant signing. I have always liked him. I...

Caoimhin Kelleher drops biggest hint yet about his future

Image
  Caoimhin Kelleher has dropped the biggest hint about his future, and a potential move away from Liverpool. Kelleher is very clearly the second-choice goalkeeper at Liverpool, but that hasn’t stopped him from grabbing the headlines over the past year or so. He helped Liverpool to win the two competitions that he played a lot in last season (the Carabao Cup and FA Cup), and even managed to score a penalty in the Carabao Final last season. He picked up where he left off this season too, helping Liverpool win yet another penalty shootout in the Carabao Cup against Derby County, saving three penalties in the process. He has since commented on his future, as he clearly wants more regular football at 24 years of age. Caoimhin Kelleher’s future He said: “Obviously when I get my chance, I need to take it… That is all I am focusing on really. I just need to be ready so I can step in if there’s an injury or if I’m needed. “I am quite relaxed, so I don’t mind watching, but obviousl...

Liverpool enter the battle to sign 23-year-old French centre-back this month

Image
  Liverpool and Man United are set to fight it out with Chelsea for Evan Ndicka. The 23-year-old centre-back’s current deal will expire in the summer, and he is eligible to discuss a pre-contract this month. Ndicka has attracted interest from all over the world as he has been one of the most fearsome defenders in the European circuit. Evan has been an ever-present in Eintracht Frankfurt defence, establishing himself as one of the best centre-backs in the Bundesliga. Deal negotiations have not been that satisfactory, and the French centre-back will be looking to step ahead when the summer arrives. For the Reds, the 2022/23 campaign has not been kind to them as Jurgen Klopp’s men have struggled to stamp their authority. Van Dijk has been quite error-prone, while the likes of Konate have not been that impressive. A midfielder is high on the agenda. But a defensive rebuild also needs to be done, as both van Dijk and Matip have already entered their thirties. And the German coach will f...
