Published

Liverpool travel to Austria to face LASK at the Raiffeisen Arena in their second Champions League fixture of the season, kicking off at 5:45 PM BST.

 

Following Sunday’s bitter 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, head coach Andoni Iraola has signaled that lineup changes are inevitable to maintain energy levels through a punishing schedule of four games in ten days. (This Is Anfield)

 

“It’s always difficult to win in this competition. It’s going to be difficult to name the same starting XI tomorrow.”

 

“You have to prioritise the freshness of the players. Especially now, we are playing four games in 10 days, so it is [about] keeping all the legs, all the energy in the games.”

 

With Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai missing the trip due to injury, young talent Trey Nyoni could start alongside Ryan Gravenberch in midfield, while Lewis Koumas, Rio Ngumoha, and Victor Munoz push for places in attack.
