Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs Bologna
How Liverpool Have Lined-up Recently
Liverpool have lined up with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Alisson Becker is the goalkeeper, with Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold the full-backs. Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are the towering centre-backs, both of whom scored at the San Siro two weeks ago.

Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai play in midfield. Meanwhile, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah are potent on the wing. Diogo Jota has started all but one match this season, with Darwin Nunez struggling for minutes under Slot.
Liverpool Injuries and Absentees to Consider Vs Bologna
Harvey Elliott fractured his foot in the last international break, as he trained with England U21s. The 21-year-old had only played seven minutes this season prior to that, so this isn’t a big loss for Arne Slot.

Alisson returned from an injury that kept him out for two matches against Wolves. However, Jota will be assessed ahead of this midweek fixture after he missed a training session in preparation. He suffered an issue to his foot against his former club at the weekend, though played the full 90 minutes. It would be unsurprising to see Nunez start this fixture, especially as the Uruguayan needs minutes to help him hit some form.
