"Following their narrrow escape of St. James Park with all three points but even more bruises, both to their ego but also physically, the Reds reward? A key league showdown with Arsenal on Sunday. It's not an ideal situation for Arne Slot who is still has some selection headaches he is working through as well as some form issues for several stalwarts in the starting lineup."
"Alisson is an obvious pick as always in the goal whenever he is fit to play and his top class shot-stopping will be needed against the Arsenal attack. Defense is interesting as Liverpool have conceded four goals through two league matches from a variety of different avenues. Szobo was brilliant as a right-back against Newcastle, but could he be better used elsewhere?"
Liverpool secured a narrow win at St. James' Park but took physical and psychological bruises while immediately facing a key home match against Arsenal. Manager Arne Slot must navigate selection headaches and form issues among several stalwarts. The proposed lineup features Alisson in goal, Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson across the back, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Florian Wirtz in midfield, and Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo up front, with multiple attacking and midfield options on the bench. Defensive lapses, positional debates for Szoboszlai and Kerkez's inconsistent form are pressing concerns.
