Less than a month after their 3-0 defeat to Molineux, Liverpool will seek some revenge when Wolves come to Anfield on Wednesday.
That was a disastrous day for Jurgen Klopp’s side, whose attempts to bounce back have been littered by some defensive mistakes, but a positive update from the Liverpool medical team could put an end to that.
Here’s how Klopp could set up.
GK: Alisson Becker – The stopper has kept three clean sheets in the Premier League since that defeat to Wolves.
RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold – Creativity has been returning to the right-back in recent weeks. More of that please.
CB: Ibrahima Konate – Here we are, the big news. Konate is back in training and is ready to return to the starting lineup, taking the place of Joel Matip.
CB: Virgil van Dijk – He’s still looking for his best form but Van Dijk will be excited by the return of Konate.
LB: Andy Robertson – Robertson’s struggles have flown under the radar this season but the Scot will be keen to silence his critics soon.
DM: Fabinho – Fabinho came off the bench last time out against Crystal Palace and had another tough cameo, but limited alternatives should see him start here.
CM: Stefan Bajcetic – Young Bajcetic’s inexperience has been on show over the past few weeks but he’s still been the clear stand-out among Liverpool’s struggling midfield.
CM: Jordan Henderson – With Thiago injured and Naby Keita dropping a stinker against Palace, expect Henderson to start.
RW: Mohamed Salah – Salah has scored in just one of his last eight Premier League games.
ST: Cody Gakpo – Roberto Firmino struggled off the bench against Palace and won’t have pushed himself above Gakpo in the pecking order.
LW: Darwin Nunez – Nunez’s involvement is still touch-and-go but Klopp appears confident that the Uruguayan’s shoulder injury won’t hold him back.
