Aston Villa are a guest this weekend and Jurgen Klopp must make an important decision for his forward line.
The Reds have made a promising start to the 2023/24 season despite a difficult opening and will be hoping to score 10 points from a probable 12 on Sunday afternoon.
The trip to Newcastle has seen the manager make the first adjustments to his starting line-up so far this season and have further options for further changes on the occasion.
It was mixed fitness news as Klopp spoke to the media ahead of the clash, with one midfielder returning to training offset by another setback by another midfielder.
Here’s how Liverpool might line up. It would take a brave man to disqualify Darwin Nunez after his exploits at St. James’ Park, brought the Red Devils all 3 points last weekend.
The Uruguayan is yet to start this season after being limited to three appearances as a substitute, but he will almost certainly be on the manager’s mind after his belated double.
Elsewhere, Liverpool will have to plan for life without their captain as Virgil van Dijk is suspended for a red card against the Warblers.
Klopp has a headache but here’s what he can do:
While getting rid of Nunez was a big decision, getting rid of Gakpo was also a tough one because of his clever play in midfield and forward this season.
The Dutchman is yet to score for the Reds in the 2023/24 season and would love to score sooner rather than later. Diogo Jota will also be aiming for a starting spot, but competition for positions is fierce with Klopp’s five strikers currently in fine form.
