English giants Liverpool face Southampton in the fifth round of the FA Cup at Anfield Stadium on Wednesday.
After lifting the Carabao Cup, the Reds are now looking to compete for yet another silverware that is up for grabs. However, they have a pair of fresh injury news at their disposal.
Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch left on a stretcher and Wataru Endo was also in a mixed zone. The midfield spot seems tight for the Reds with limited options available to them. 11 senior players have already made it to the injury list.
The Saints will be aiming to exploit this weakness but we have all seen that Jurgen Klopp’s young players are also capable of putting on a tough show.
Caomhin Kelleher is expected to be handed over the keeper duties ahead of first-choice Alisson Becker. Bradley and Kostas Tsimikas will be taking the right back and left back spots respectively.
Jarrel Quansah and Joe Gomez will be pairing as key centre-backs for Liverpool.
Alexis Mac Allister will be commanding the midfield region along with youngsters Bobby Clark and James MacConnell.
Harvey Elliott and Cody Gakpo will be used again as wingers and Jayden Danns will be taking Luis Diaz’s place as the lone striker upfront.
