Liverpool will be back in action on Sunday as they face Manchester United at Anfield in a crucial Premier League match to maintain their top spot in the league. After their comeback victory against Crystal Palace last weekend, Liverpool overtook Arsenal at the summit. Jurgen Klopp made several changes in their Europa League game against Union SG, with a youthful team suffering a 2-1 defeat. Now, returning to Premier League action, Klopp is expected to make significant changes once again, bringing back key players such as Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Alisson Becker, who were absent from the Europa League squad.

Alongside Van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate is likely to partner in central defense, with Jarell Quansah possibly returning to the bench. Joe Gomez is another option for the center-back position, and he might even start at right-back if Klopp decides to utilize Alexander-Arnold in midfield. However, Alexander-Arnold is expected to start in his natural position, with Kostas Tsimikas taking the left-back role in the absence of Andy Robertson.

In midfield, if Alexis Mac Allister is unavailable, Wataru Endo could retain his position as the holding midfielder. Alexander-Arnold could also be an alternative in the holding midfield role, with Dominik Szoboszlai expected to start in one of the advanced midfield positions. Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Ryan Gravenberch, and Cody Gakpo are vying for the remaining midfield spots.

Upfront, Mohamed Salah, with his impressive record against Manchester United, will lead the аttаck. Darwin Nunez could return as the center-forward, while Luis Diaz is likely to feature on the left-wing. Alternatively, Nunez or Gakpo could also be deployed on the wing if Klopp decides to play them alongside Colombian winger Diaz.

Liverpool will be hoping for a strong performance from their returning stars as they aim to secure a victory against their fierce rivals and maintain their position at the top of the Premier League table.
