Liverpool are on the road on matchday 27 of the Premier League as they face Nottingham Forest at The City Ground tomorrow at 14:00 local time, hoping to pick up three crucial points away from home.
The Reds have not been in great form in the English top flight for several months, winning only seven times since September, but with a Champions League berth still to play for, there is a lot of stake in the English top division.
Here is a look at how they might line-up against Nottingham.
Goalkeeper – Alisson Becker is expected to continue in goal for the visiting side.
Defenders – Dominik Szoboszlai is expected to feature at right back against Nottingham at Curtis Jones’ expense, but Milos Kerkez might continue to play on the left side of the back four. Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are once again in contention to keep their places in the heart of Liverpool’s defence.
Ekitike returns to lead the attack
Midfielders – Alexis Mac Allister will be in contention to continue in the double pivot after last weekend’s win against Brighton & Hove Albion, and he could partner with Ryan Gravenberch after the Dutchman was not a part of the starting eleven in the previous fixture. Florian Wirtz is expected to be the attacking midfielder for Liverpool once more.
Mohamed Salah could also continue on the right flank and the left wing may continue to belong to Cody Gakpo.
Forward – £79 million summer signing Hugo Ekitike is expected to lead the line, coming into the team ahead of Federico Chiesa.
Here is how Liverpool may look on paper.
