This weekend, Liverpool go to Brighton in a challenging match, and the manager must make team selections while juggling many variables.
The Reds will be eager to make amends on the road at the Amex after their unbeaten streak was controversially ended last weekend.
After competing on Thursday in the Europa League, both Liverpool and Brighton must make swift preparations for this match, and the manager is likely to make additional changes.
There are a lot of discussion points all over the field, but the lineup versus Union SG may give us some indications of how we will look on Sunday.
The Reds might look like this when they resume Premier League.
The following is what the boss said when discussing the trip to the South Coast:
Another setback in Thiago’s rehabilitation from his hip injury has occurred.
Although Cody Gakpo is not available, there is a “good chance” that he will return following the break.
There is a schedule for Stefan Bajcetic’s return.
With nine changes made for the match against Union SG, Klopp’s “midweek” team has been able to establish some rhythm as a result of the current schedule of two games per week.
This weekend, we can expect additional adjustments, although some of the players from last Thursday will want to play against Brighton nonetheless.
Particularly Ryan Gravenberch put up a strong performance in the Europa League and will be pleading with the management for his first league start for the Reds.
A plausible 11 may resemble this:
Gravenberch will continue to play with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai in the middle of the field.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will make a comeback as an upside-down full-back.
Darwin Nunez will be in front of the line after Mohamed Salah and luis Daiz.
Salah, Nunez, Diaz, Mac Allister, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Szoboszlai, and Szoboszlai.
The manager has a variety of alternative choices available should he decide to switch things up on Sunday, given there are just a few minor fitness concerns.
Wataru Endo may easily fill the No. 6 spot against Brighton after being taken off at halftime of the 2-0 victory over Union SG.
Due to injury issues, Ibrahima Konate has been in and out of the back four this season, and Joe Gomez and Joel Matip will be keeping an eye on his spot given their strong performances when they have filled in.
A different starting lineup for Liverpool may resemble this:
Szoboszlai and Mac Allister will be seated in front of Endo.
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Endo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Nunez, and Diaz are some of the other players.
The Reds lost badly at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and this weekend they’ll be even more determined to make up for it.
Almost every team in Europe is jealous of the depth of the present group, and whichever direction the manager chooses, Klopp has more than enough talent at his disposal to handle the next challenges.
Three points will provide Liverpool a fantastic foundation from which to move on, despite the fact that Brighton are a powerful team and the match marks one of the toughest challenges thus far this season.
