"Alisson is once again a no-brainer in goal as always. However, the fullback positions get changed for me coming into this one. Robbo is restored at left-back for Milos Kerkez who was solid on Sunday, but not spectacular. As for right-back, that's a lot to ask of Gomez to start again so soon. I would say Wataru Endo could do this role, but we all know Slot is unlikely to go that route, so Jones gets the nod."
"The center of defense is the usual powerhouse duo as Konate in particular is coming off one of his best outings of the entire season in the win on Sunday. West Ham United v Liverpool - Premier League | Izzy Poles - AMA/GettyImages This midfield trio must be restored as they were all rock solid against West Ham and they showed all of last season this is the best midfield trio available to Slot."
Liverpool host a surprising Sunderland side at Anfield aiming for consecutive Premier League wins after a 2-0 victory over West Ham. Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni remain sidelined through injury. The projected starting XI lists Alisson; Curtis Jones, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson in defense; Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai in midfield; and Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz up front. Andy Robertson replaces Milos Kerkez at left-back, Curtis Jones is preferred at right-back, and the Konate–van Dijk pairing continues centrally. Squad options include Gakpo, Ekitike, Chiesa, Endo, Gomez and Ngumoha.
