Arne Slot has made two changes to the Starting XI vs. Sunderland. Wataru Endō comes in for the suspended Domonik Szoboszlai, and Andy Robertson will get the nod in front of Milos Kerkez. Joe Gomez also returns from injury and was added to the bench.
Sunderland Starting XI
Roefs, Mukiele, Ballard, Alderete, Reinildo, Hume, Sadiki, Le Fee, Angulo, Diarra, Brobbey,
Subs: Ellborg, Carkin, O’Nein, Geertruida, Rigg, Mundle, Isidor, Mayenda, Talbi
Liverpool Confirmed Starting XI
Starters: Alisson, Endō, Van Dijk, Konaté, Wirtz, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Ekitike, Robertson, Gravenberch.
The Substitutes Bench
Substitutes: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Kerkez, Chiesa, Jones, Nyoni, Ramsay, Morrison, Ngumoha.
The Verdict
It is a bit surprising that Slot has gone with Endō at Right Back over Curtis Jones. There have been rumours flying that the two have had a falling out, and this decision lends credence to it. Joe Gomez being available is a bit of good news amid the turmoil. Hopefully, he can bring stability, if not today, then in the near future.
