Caoimhin Kelleher is his potential replacement, starting in most Europa League and EFL Cup games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Trent Alexander-Arnold has flourished offensively at right-back, whilst Kostas Tsimikas has cemented his position as Andy Robertson&#8217;s replacement (at left-back). Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 are the centre-half duo, but Jo\u00ebl Matip has filled in due to injury problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/11\/25\/liverpool-tactical-preview-beat-manchester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How Liverpool Can Beat Manchester City &#8211; Tactical Preview<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The midfield trio consists of three summer signings: Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Dominik Szoboszlai. Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo have also featured with Gravenberch &#8211; improving his fitness levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Darwin N\u00fa\u00f1ez has started up front, whilst Mohamed Salah plays on the right wing.

This result was crucial in their title bid, leaving the Reds just two points off the top of the table.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A draw away at the Etihad is a considerably impressive result. Pep Guardiola&#8217;s side have not lost at home since December last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">J\u00fcrgen Klopp has proved that his side can still compete with the treble-winners despite losing many starters in the summer, most notably Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, and Roberto Firmino.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This is key, considering Liverpool&#8217;s disappointing fifth-place finish last season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/11\/24\/liverpool-predicted-lineup-vs-manchester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">New Signing Returns: Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Manchester City<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, there were a few amber flags in the game. Alisson frequently misplaced passes and was under pressure by City forwards all game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Brazilian completed just two out of his sixteen attempted long balls, resulting in a 12% completion rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Most significantly, a failed punt upfield met Nathan Ak\u00e9 just 40 yards out, and the Dutchman was able to take advantage of the disarrayed Liverpool defence. He dribbled past multiple red shirts and found Erling Haaland, who bagged the opener.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another problem was the lack of goalscoring chances created. This has not been a problem for the side previously. Liverpool have frequently underperformed their XG (expected goals). In that recent infamous 1-1 draw at Luton, N\u00fa\u00f1ez missed three<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">big chances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The cause of this is hard to pinpoint, but it may be linked to the Citizens lining up with two frighteningly quick centre halves: Kyle Walker and Nathan Ak\u00e9. This allowed them to combat the pace of Salah and N\u00fa\u00f1ez.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/11\/14\/liverpool-lucas-beraldo-links\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Linked To Highly Rated Brazilian<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A final issue was Alexander-Arnold&#8217;s inability to deal with the skill of J\u00e9r\u00e9my Doku, who completed an incredible seven dribbles past him. His defensive capabilities have always been a weakness, but it was more apparent than ever against a world-class dribbler.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool should feel confident heading into the weekend, but there are issues &#8211; to be fixed against the highest-quality opposition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As previously mentioned, Alisson is struggling with a\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolfc.com\/news\/alisson-becker-and-diogo-jota-injury-update\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">hamstring problem<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.
