Injury Concerns Force Reds’ Line-Up Shuffle…
Liverpool is all set for an exciting clash against Newcastle, though the right-back position seems to have more drama than a soap opera marathon! With Jeremie Frimpong out due to a hamstring injury and Conor Bradley still recovering, Joe Gomez might step in. However, Gomez hasn’t trained fully since returning, making it likely for Wataru Endo to take the spot. Luckily, the rest of the back five remains stable. Alisson guards the goal, with Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk up front, hopefully less jittery than a caffeinated squirrel.
In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch returns, expected to team up with either Alexis Mac Allister or Dominik Szoboszlai, depending on Mac Allister’s last-minute fitness test. Who knew predicting a football lineup could need more detective work than a Scooby-Doo mystery? Meanwhile, Florian Wirtz retains his No. 10 spot, with Salah, Hugo Ekitike, and Cody Gakpo forming a formidable front trio. Ekitike is predicted to receive quite a welcome after he picked Liverpool over Newcastle, probably making him as popular as a cat at a dog show — on Newcastle’s turf at least!
