Virgil van Dijk starts at centre-back with Ibrahima Konate, or occasionally Jarell Quansah, next to him. Trent Alexander-Arnold has played right-back, though inverting, and Joe Gomez has filled in at left-back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/03\/manchester-united-michael-olise-liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sir Jim Ratcliffe Wants To Hijack Liverpool\u2019s Move For \u00a343 Million \u2018Special Talent\u2019<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wataru Endo, player of the month, is having a fabulous season as a number six. Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch complete the midfield three, though Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott have played a lot of minutes due to injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The preferred front three seems to be Luis Diaz (left), Darwin Nunez (striker), and Mohamed Salah (right). However, Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo have played much more than a bit part role &#8211; often starting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Watch<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">: Last Word on Football looks at the biggest problem with your Premier League club<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Biggest Problem with YOUR Premier League Club\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2GNhwMen_Qo?start=13&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool battered Newcastle on New Year&#8217;s Day in a 4-2 win. The Reds accumulated an XG of 7.11, a record in the Premier League since records began. They took 34 shots, forced ten saves, and had nine big chances; the Magpies had just five shots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A big part of this was their frighteningly quick counter-attacks. They had an abundance of fast breaks, including Salah&#8217;s opening goal and Jota&#8217;s run to win their second penalty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/02\/liverpool-january-transfer-window-defensive-reinforcements\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Eyeing Defensive Reinforcements For January Transfer Window<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, their dangerous attack also leaves themselves open to be countered. A great transitional Newcastle attack, including some impressive dribbling from Anthony Gordon, led to Alexander Isak&#8217;s equaliser.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Despite scoring two and getting precariously close to a third, Salah was a great creative outlet. The Egyptian created two clear-cut chances that Nunez failed to convert and executed a fabulous trivela cross to assist Gakpo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nunez continued his trend of failing to be clinical, having seven shots, missing three big chances, and an XG of 1.70 without scoring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Szoboszlai went off against Newcastle with a hamstring problem and, whilst \u201cDom is very positive, doesn\u2019t have a lot of pain.\u201d Klopp\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolfc.com\/news\/dominik-szoboszlai-injury-update\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">revealed<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0that there is \u201cno chance obviously for Sunday, not for Wednesday.\u201d The\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hitc.com\/en-gb\/2023\/11\/01\/dominik-szoboszlai-called-a-superstar-after-liverpool-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;superstar&#8221;<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0will be missed.
