Liverpool’s lineup against Burnley is expected to see three changes from their previous match.

 

After a disappointing defeat to Arsenal, Jurgen Klopp will be looking to bounce back and secure a victory at home.

 

Despite the setback, Liverpool still maintains their position as league leaders and will aim to reclaim their dominance with a strong performance against Burnley. The exact lineup for the match is yet to be confirmed, but fans can anticipate some alterations to the team.

 

Here is a glimpse into Liverpool’s potential lineup for their upcoming match at Anfield. The manager shared some insights regarding the team:

 

– Unfortunately, Thiago is dealing with an injury, which is not ideal. However, there is a possibility that he could make a comeback before the end of the season.

– Dominik Szoboszlai will not be available for the match and might also miss the League Cup final.

– Conor Bradley won’t be able to play, but Wataru Endo has returned and is ready to contribute.

 

Due to Ibrahima Konate’s suspension, there are several options at the back, including the potential return of Joe Gomez to the center position. Gomez has primarily played as a left-back in recent months and even managed to keep Andy Robertson out of the starting lineup against Chelsea and Arsenal.

 

Szoboszlai’s injury has also created opportunities in the midfield, with several players vying for his spot.

 

Endo is set to return from the Asian Cup and be available for selection, which means the manager may make changes to his midfield lineup. Let’s take a look at how Liverpool could potentially line up against Burnley at Anfield.

 

Despite their disappointing 3-1 loss to Arsenal, Liverpool still maintain their position as league leaders. They have the opportunity to reclaim their spot at the top of the table with a positive result and performance against the Clarets.

 

Jurgen Klopp provided some insight into the upcoming match, mentioning that Thiago’s injury is unfortunate but there is a possibility of him featuring again this season. Dominik Szoboszlai will be unavailable and may not make it to the League Cup final. Conor Bradley is also unavailable, but Wataru Endo is back and ready for selection.

 

In recent matches, Gomez has been deployed as a left-back and has even kept Andy Robertson out of the starting lineup against Chelsea and Arsenal. However, it is likely that Robertson will return to the starting XI, with Gomez moving back to his natural position as a center-back.

 

Endo is expected to play a deeper role in midfield, providing support to Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister. Darwin Nunez is likely to regain his position as the main striker.

 

The potential lineup for Liverpool against Burnley could be as follows: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Mac Allister, Jones; Diaz, Jota, Nunez.

 

Klopp has several options to consider for this match, with both forced changes and tactical adjustments. Gomez’s availability is uncertain due to illness, and Konate is also absent. This could open the door for Jarell Quansah, who has performed admirably whenever given the opportunity this season.

 

Here is an alternative XI, with a few adjustments, that could be considered:

 

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Elliott, Jones; Gakpo, Jota, Nunez

 

The team selection has been quite predictable in recent matches, but due to a new injury and suspension, the manager now has more options to explore.

 

Regardless of the chosen lineup, Liverpool should possess superior quality compared to Vincent Kompany’s team, who currently find themselves in 19th place and seven points away from safety.

 

A victory is the only acceptable outcome to regain momentum after the lackluster performance at the Emirates. It is now up to the players to demonstrate that it was just a minor setback.

 

Come on, Liverpool!
