True to his word, Arne Slot has fielded a very strong XI, keen to avoid the same mistake as at Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup last season. It still looks like a 4-3-3, with a front three of Chiesa, Gakpo, Ngumoha. I have been hugely impressed by the latter, despite Ngumoha being just 17. Anyone can see he is an elite talent in waiting. Obviously he scored that winner in August at Newcastle, but I was also impressed last week with his impact off the bench against Leeds. Yes, Liverpool were held 0-0 but Ngumoha was a menace off that left flank as soon as he came on.
You’ll notice that Liverpool also have a very strong bench, which includes Ekitike. A welcome addition for Slot with so many attacking players sidelined.
Liverpool: Mamardashvili, Frimpong, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Jones, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Chiesa, Gakpo, Ngumoha.
