Team News: Jarell Quansah makes first Premier League start for Liverpool

Jarell Quansah makes first Premier League start for Liverpool

Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah makes his first Premier League start for the Reds in Saturday's clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The 20-year-old came off the bench against Newcastle United and Aston Villa before the international break and will seemingly partner Joel Matip in the absence of the suspended Virgil van Dijk.

Joe Gomez will likely shift over to the right-hand side of the backline due to Trent Alexander-Arnold's injury, and Quansah is one of three changes Jurgen Klopp has made from their success over Villa a fortnight ago.

Alisson Becker and Alexis Mac Allister have been passed fit to start, but Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez - two other late arrivals from South America - have had to make do with spots on the bench.

Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota have been brought in to start alongside Mohamed Salah in attack, while deadline-day signing Ryan Gravenberch is among the substitutes ahead of his potential debut.

Meanwhile, Wolves boss Gary O'Neil has made two changes to the XI from their 3-2 loss at Crystal Palace last time out, including a debut for Jean-Ricner Bellegarde following his arrival from Strasbourg.

Bellegarde has been introduced into the midfield in place of Pablo Sarabia, while Hwang Hee-chan - who netted off the bench at Selhurst Park - has also demoted Fabio Silva to the bench.

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa; Semedo, Kilman, Dawson, Ait-Nouri; Gomes, Lemina, Bellegarde; Hwang, Cunha, Neto Subs: Bentley, Doherty, Traore, Silva, Bueno, Kalajdzic, Sarabia, Toti, Doyle

Liverpool: Alisson; Gomez, Matip, Quansah, Robertson; Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Gakpo, Jota Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Konate, Diaz, Nunez, Elliott, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Bajcetic
