As expected, Liverpool have made four changes for their Premier League clash against Brighton at Anfield. Milos Kerkez comes in at left-back while the Reds bolster their attack with Bradley Barcola, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak leading the line up top.
Liverpool Starting XI
Liverpool: Alisson, Milos Kerkez, Virgil van Dijk , Ronald Araujo, Jérémy Jacquet, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola, Alexander Isak.
Subs: Giorgi Mamardashvili, Joe Gomez , Wataru Endo, Federico Chiesa, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Trey Nyoni, James McConnell, Lewis Koumas, Rio Ngumoha.
Brighton & Hove Albion Starting XI
Brighton & Hove Albion: Bart Verbruggen, Lewis Dunk, Pascal Groß, Chema Andrés, Charalampos Kostoulas, Olivier Boscagli, Ferdi Kadıoğlu, Diego Gómez, Yasin Ayari, Maxim De Cuyper, Luka Vuskovic.
Subs: Jaouen Hadjam, Jack Hinshelwood, Georginio Rutter, Promise David, Ibrahim Osman, Costinha, Jason Steele, Matt O’Riley, Malick Yalcouyé
What changed and why it matters
Boss Andoni Iraola told the media that there would be rotation to keep fresh legs and he stayed true to his word. He has been following the same formula recently and the Reds are on a hot streak, so it is working well. With all the injuries Liverpool have right now, this is a top-level side.
LFC Globe Verdict
It’s good to see Federico Chiesa back from a long-term injury. While he might not see much playing time today, his depth will help the team down the line, I also think that Rio Ngumoha could provide a big spark off of the bench.
