Liverpool registered a 2-1 victory over Brighton in the Premier League to climb to the top of the points table. Luckily both Manchester City and Arsenal lost their respective matches which helped Arne Slot’s side make two points clear at the first position.
The Reds are now preparing for their next challenge which lies against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League. With three wins in three games, they are also doing well in that competition and it will be a good contest for sure.
4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Bayer Leverkusen
Defence
Caoimhin Kelleher continues to take charge between the sticks in the absence of Alisson Becker. He will have a key role to play in the team’s success. Right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold remains an undisputed pick and an influential figure on the pitch.
Ibrahima Konate’s arm injury has already ruled him out of this game. Joe Gomez is expected to fill his spot and partner up with Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the defence. Konstantinos Tsimikas has been growing impressive at the left-back position amid the struggles of Andrew Robertson.
Midfield
Curtis Jones had an entertaining game coming off the bench against Brighton. Don’t be surprised if Arne Slot put him in the playing XI in place of Dominik Szoboszlai.
Ryan Gravenberch continues to provide his defensive cover in the middle of the park with Alexis Mac Allister operating aggressively to impact in the offensive part.
Attack
Mohamed Salah scored a brilliant goal to bring the points to Anfield on Saturday. There is no question over his role in the side. Cody Gakpo will be deployed on the right wing with Darwin Nunez doing convincingly enough.
Ibrahima Konate (arm), Alisson Becker (hamstring), Harvey Elliott (foot), Diogo Jota (rib), and Federico Chiesa (muscle) are all unavailable for the clash.
