Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up in Thursday's pre-season friendly with RB Leipzig.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is working around a number of injury concerns ahead of Thursday's pre-season friendly with RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena.

Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker are both sidelined with hamstring and abdominal issues respectively, but the former could be back in time for the Community Shield, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain picked up a muscular injury in the recent win over Crystal Palace.

Joe Gomez has returned to training after being left out of that 2-0 success on Friday as a precaution, but Calvin Ramsay, Caoimhin Kelleher and Kaide Gordon are all dealing with their own niggles.

With Kelleher and Alisson expected to miss out, Adrian should earn another start in between the sticks, while Virgil van Dijk may return to partner Ibrahima Konate at the back.

Trent Alexander-Arnold could also be considered for a recall to the starting lineup as the season draws ever nearer, with Kostas Tsimikas still holding the fort on the opposite side.

Thiago Alcantara is a candidate to return to the midfield alongside Harvey Elliott and Jordan Henderson, and a star-studded trio could take to the final third.

Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah will seemingly occupy the wide areas, and there may be a start for Darwin Nunez at the forefront of the attack as he searches for his first goal for the Merseyside giants.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Elliott, Henderson, Thiago; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
