Liverpool will face a significant absence of key players in the highly anticipated Premier League showdown against Manchester United this Sunday.
Heading to Old Trafford, the Reds aim to avenge their heartbreaking FA Cup quarter-final defeat from last month and maintain their position atop the Premier League table, ahead of both Arsenal and Manchester City.
Jurgen Klopp’s squad anticipates a challenging encounter against Manchester United, especially after narrowly securing crucial victories against Sheffield United and Brighton & Hove Albion in their recent matches.
In their 3-1 win over Sheffield United on Thursday, Liverpool saw the return of Curtis Jones to action after his extended absence due to an ankle injury suffered against Brentford in February. Additionally, defender Andy Robertson rejoined the lineup after missing the previous weekend’s triumph over Brighton due to an injury sustained while on international duty with Scotland.
Despite Liverpool’s optimism, they will be without Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, and Alisson Becker, despite their progress in injury recovery in recent weeks. Furthermore, long-term absentees Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, and Stefan Bajcetic will also be unavailable for selection.
However, there is hope for Liverpool with midfielder Wataru Endo expected to return after missing the previous match due to a knock. Klopp expressed confidence in Endo’s availability for the clash at Old Trafford.
The Liverpool squad available for Sunday’s fixture against Manchester United includes:
Goalkeepers: Caoimhin Kelleher, Fabian Mrozek, Adrian.
Defenders: Andy Robertson, Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Jarell Quansah, Kostas Tsimikas.
Midfielders: Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch, Harvey Elliott, Bobby Clark, James McConnell.
