Liverpool have a full-blown crisis at right back for their match vs. Sunderland. Domonik Szoboszlai is suspended, and Arne Slot revealed that Joe Gomez is questionable with an injury. Also, Mohamed Salah could be away from the team due to a personal matter. Therefore, Curtis Jones slides in at right back, but if Salah can’t go, Wataru Endō will move in on the back line, so Jones can play further forward.
- GK: Alisson - Can the goalie recover from conceding that late and controversial penalty vs. City
- RB: Curtis Jones - Gets the start over Endō because of offensive threat, will change late if the Reds are protecting a lead
- CB: Ibrahima Konaté - Will have to be solid once again to help out a depleted back line
- CB: Virgil Van Dijk (C) - Captains lead in a time of crisis. Van Dijk will need to do the same here
- LB: Milos Kerkez - Can use speed on the wings. May see plenty of action in the final third if Sunderland go to a low block
- CM: Alexis Mac Allister - Needs to be a bit sharper on passes in the box.
- CM: Ryan Gravenberch - The same can be said of Gravenberch. The CMs have to control the middle of the park
- RW: Mohamed Salah - There is a chance he does not play due to a personal matter. If that's the case, Slot will have to do some more shuffling
- AM: Cody Gakpo - Key player. Poised to have a big day with the Sunderland focus on Ekitiké
- LW: Florian Wirtz - Had some good moments vs City. Needs to convert them to goals this time
- ST: Hugo Ekitiké - Will be the main focus of Sunderland's defense, needs to stay patient
Key Stat to Watch: Sunderland are the only team in the EPL unbeaten at home this season
Final Score Prediction: Liverpool 1, Sunderland 1
Star Man: Cody Gakpo
