Liverpool have a great opportunity to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League table on Sunday. Despite the possibility of being third before their match against Manchester United, a victory would ensure they reclaim the number one spot. Here is the predicted lineup that Jurgen Klopp is likely to field against their arch-rivals at Anfield.

After an impressive comeback last weekend against Crystal Palace, Liverpool will rely on Alisson Becker in goal for this crucial match. While Caoimhin Kelleher did well midweek, Alisson’s return is a boost for the team. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, who were rested in the previous match, are expected to rejoin Alisson in the starting lineup. The decision on who partners Van Dijk at center-back is up to Klopp. Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate both played 45 minutes in Belgium, but it appears Konate may get the nod. Kostas Tsimikas will continue at left-back.

With Alexis Mac Allister still injured, the midfield trio is uncertain for Sunday’s game. Dominik Szoboszlai is a likely starter, having featured in every league game since joining Liverpool. The other two midfield spots are up for grabs, and it’s difficult to predict who will fill them. Wataru Endo has struggled in recent matches, but he is the most natural choice for that role. Another potential candidate is Ryan Gravenberch, who has impressed Klopp and may complete the midfield three.

Liverpool’s аttаcking lineup is relatively straightforward to anticipate based on the previous match. Cody Gakpo, who played the full 90 minutes in the Europa League, is expected to start on the bench. Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz are likely to lead the аttаck against Manchester United. All three have previously scored against United, with Salah aiming to continue his successful record against them.
