Liverpool could hand a debut to incoming signing Federico Chiesa in Sunday’s blockbuster clash with Manchester United.
The Italian has moved to Anfield on a cut-price deal after an injury-hit few seasons with Juventus, and has been registered before the 12pm midday on Friday so is eligible to face the Red Devils.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot is not expected to throw Chiesa straight into his starting line-up, especially in such a big game, bit minutes off the bench would be possible.
It is likely to be an unchanged, or very close to, selection from the head coach after two relatively comfortably 2-0 wins to kick off the season, beating Ipswich and then Brentford.
Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota have all scored at least once so far this season, while Dominik Szoboszlai is enjoying a No10 role.
Jarell Quansah appears to have lost his spot 45 minutes into the season, so Ibrahima Konate should start again at centre-back.
Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Salah, Diaz, Jota
Doubt: Jones
Time and date: 4pm BST on Sunday, September 1, 2024
