Liverpool Team News vs LOSC
Jota did not play on Saturday. “So, it is not sure he will be available,” manager Arne Slot before the day before the game.
“He felt a little bit when he came in [at Forest], a little niggle during the half-hour. He finished the game, but afterwards, he complained a bit about it, and that’s why he didn’t train yesterday. We have to wait and see…”
Doubtful will see Jota in this continental competition fixture either.
So with that in mind, let’s just get to the lineup prediction, shall we.
Liverpool Starting XI Prediction vs LOSC
Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson; Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones; Mo Salah, Harvey Elliott, Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz
