Losing a parent at 20 is really tough, I wouldn't put him into a pressurised game like this with all that on his mind. Szoboszlai hasn't travelled aswell through illness. I'd play Robbo at LB, put trust in Gomez at RB, and play Trent in Midfield with Mac allister and Jones.

If we win we go 8 points ahead of them, if they beat us however the gap closes to 2 so this is a real 6 pointer

Thought I read during the week Klopp expected to have him available for selection......maybe that was just to carry water bottles though

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Jones, Gakpo, Jota, Diaz.

Subs: Adrian, Kelleher, Thiago, Nunez, Elliott, Robertson, Clark, McConnell, Quansah.

No Bradley in the team or on the bench which is no surprise, Nunez on the bench Gakpo in.
Just hope Trent is on his game defensively today because he has struggled against Martinelli in the past
COYR

Dom injured, klopp said its same area as before, hope his not out for too long.

Going to need Nunez on later to disrupt these pretenders.

Grav needs to have a solid game, cpuld potentially turn out our weakness in the middle.

Common redmen

Not looking good... 0-1

Really poor start. Midfield is being bypassed and overwhelmed.

should be 2 down

Is Gravenberch on the pitch?

Arsenal'stactics are simple everytime they play us...throw quick long balls over the midfield and let Martinelli and Saka make runs since Trent and Robbo are usually committed high up the field

I would have put Gomez on RB, Robbo at LB and let Trent fill in for Szobo. Definitely no Gravenberch and Gakpo in this sort of game

Gravenberch and Gakpo need to improve a lot to qualify for a start in this type of game. Both have been anonymous so far.

Mac Allister too ponderous as well

He has no options in front of him. Jones and Gravenberch are still in the dressing room.
