Will the return of Alisson Becker get Liverpool FC's season turned around? The Brazilian shotstopper is slated to return for the home clash against Nottingham Forest, and given his expected match fitness, will he be eased back into action, or just go straght back into the first team? We're thinking it's the latter, and we expect instant impact from it. … [Read more...] about Liverpool Predicted Starting XI vs Nottingham Forest

Liverpool FC at Manchester City Predicted Starting Lineups
Sunday brings another edition of what has truly been "the game" in English football during the late 2010s and early 2020s, as Manchester City hosts Liverpool FC. This time it's 2nd place hosting 3rd place, which is a bit of a departure, given how this match usually involves the top of the table team. Quite often, it usually involves the top two, but alas, this will be a … [Read more...] about Liverpool FC at Manchester City Predicted Starting Lineups
Liverpool Team News at Chelsea: Alisson Becker, Hugo Ekitike, Federico Chiesa
The proverbial injury added to insult occurred in midweek when Liverpool lost to Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League competition. The Reds also lost their starting goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, due to a groin injury. It remains to be seen how long Alisson will be out, but Reds boss Arne Slot was very definitive, and actually quite colorful, in ruling the Brazilian shot … [Read more...] about Liverpool Team News at Chelsea: Alisson Becker, Hugo Ekitike, Federico Chiesa
Liverpool Team News at Crystal Palace: Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni
Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike now finds himself suspended for Saturday's Premier League fixture at Crystal Palace after he got two yellow card bookings versus Southampton last night. The first yellow came after he punched the ball away, 53 minutes in. The second yellow (and thus the red) came when he over-celebrated the game-winning goal. Ekitike then took his shirt off and … [Read more...] about Liverpool Team News at Crystal Palace: Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni
Liverpool Team News, Starting XI Prediction vs Southampton
Liverpool FC were not at their most absolute world-beating best yesterday, but it was still enough to claim the Merseyside derby. Liverpool bested Everton 2-1, and emerged unscathed from injury. With midfielder Curtis Jones coming back into the mix, and featuring off the bench, Arne Slot's side is nearing full fitness right now. Perfect time, as fixture congestion season is now … [Read more...] about Liverpool Team News, Starting XI Prediction vs Southampton
Liverpool Starting XI Prediction vs Atletico Madrid (Champions League)
Should we see some squad rotation, of sorts, from Liverpool manager Arne Slot on Wednesday night vs Atletico Madrid? Probably so, but maybe not in the truest sense of the term. After all "squad rotation" most often implies that you're bringing in players who are only the quality of reserves. That is obviously not the case at Anfield, where the level of depth and talent is as … [Read more...] about Liverpool Starting XI Prediction vs Atletico Madrid (Champions League)
Liverpool Starting Lineup Prediction at Burnley FC
Liverpool had a great international break! No one got injured, their players who were nursing injuries healed up and their rivals now have more injury concerns. It's a good time to be a Liverpool supporter, and the next match, at least on paper, looks like a win. They'll visit newly promoted Burnley FC, a side over which they have a great advantage talent wise and depth wise. … [Read more...] about Liverpool Starting Lineup Prediction at Burnley FC
Liverpool FC Starting Lineup Prediction vs Arsenal
No one really likes international breaks. Well, the fans and media certainly do not. Neither do the coaches, as their players often get hurt while on international duty. However, at least this time we have a wonderfully mouth-watering fixture to send us into it- Arsenal and Liverpool FC. It's top of the table versus third place, and basically a matchup that really needs no … [Read more...] about Liverpool FC Starting Lineup Prediction vs Arsenal
Liverpool FC Starting Lineup Prediction at Newcastle United
When Liverpool FC line up versus Newcastle United on Monday night, the main concern will be at the right back position. Jeremie Frimpong is out for several weeks with a hamstring injury while Conor Bradley is still working his way back to match fitness, and is thus doubtful for this match. So who is the third choice at the position? Well, Wataru Endo came on to replace … [Read more...] about Liverpool FC Starting Lineup Prediction at Newcastle United
Liverpool Starting Lineup Prediction vs AFC Bournemouth
That was not the way Liverpool FC wanted things to start out for them this term. The Community Shield is obviously a quasi-friendly, sort of, despite the fact that it's a trophy match. However, you got to give Crystal Palace their flowers- it took them forever to get that first piece of silverware, and now they have two, just like that! Anyway, you can't dwell on it for too … [Read more...] about Liverpool Starting Lineup Prediction vs AFC Bournemouth
