How Liverpool could line up against Manchester United

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is faced with some healthy selection dilemmas for Sunday's Premier League showdown with Manchester United at Anfield.

The Reds will continue to cope without Luis Diaz, Calvin Ramsay, Joe Gomez and Thiago Alcantara for the time being, while Arthur and Naby Keita will need assessing but were highly unlikely to start anyway.

The return of Ibrahima Konate to the backline against Wolverhampton Wanderers was a welcome sight, and the Frenchman ought to link arms with Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson Becker once more.

Kostas Tsimikas was given the nod in midweek and came up with an assist, but it would be a surprise not to see Andrew Robertson return to the fold for such a pivotal showdown.

Fabinho is slowly redeeming himself in the middle of the park and can expect to hold his place alongside Stefan Bajcetic, but the experience of Jordan Henderson should be preferred to Harvey Elliott.

Mohamed Salah and a fully-recovered Darwin Nunez are shoo-ins up front, but all of Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo will make their cases to start through the middle.

Despite impressing against former club Wolves, Jota may not be considered for a third successive start in the space of a week following his lengthy layoff, so the stage is set for Gakpo to lead the line against the team that he snubbed to join the Reds.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Bajcetic; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez
