Joe Gomez has filled in at right-back, and Conor Bradley has had opportunities at right-back. Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk complete the backline as centre-halves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alexis Mac Allister has played as a six in the centre of midfield. Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, and Ryan Gravenberch have shared minutes alongside him.<\/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\/26\/liverpool-jurgen-klopp-exit-confirmed\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Stunned With Bombshell From Jurgen Klopp<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Darwin Nunez has started up front (or occasionally on the left), whilst Luis Diaz has started on the left wing (or occasionally on the right). Harvey Elliott and Cody Gakpo have shared minutes on the right, with Diogo Jota collecting minutes as a striker.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool continued a 19-game unbeaten streak in domestic competitions with a 1-1 draw at Fulham. This allowed them to progress to the final of the EFL Cup on an aggregate scoreline of 3-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A positive was that Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s side came out of the blocks quickly. The Reds had three shots inside the box within 11 minutes, including Diaz&#8217;s tie-winning goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This was crucial as the team has conceded first in 10\/21 Premier League matches this season and have been forced to win 19 points from losing positions &#8211; a league-high. In fact, they had gone 1-0 down to Fulham inside 20 minutes in the first leg.<\/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\/25\/mohammed-salah-liverpool-afcon-injury-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Huge Setback For Liverpool As \u2018World-Class\u2019 Star\u2019s Injury \u2018More Serious Than First Thought\u2019<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The goal was assisted by an incredible cross-field ball by Jarell Quansah, almost Trent Alexander-Arnold-esque. These switches are a feature in Klopp&#8217;s playstyle, not just from the Scouse right-back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We can see this during the 4-0 win over Bournemouth when Konate (of all players) pinged the ball to Jones to kickstart the attack for Nunez&#8217;s first goal. His quick pass to Jota, who instantly played it into Nunez to roll home, exemplifies how Klopp has mastered the one-touch direct attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Go behind the scenes with Inside Training, as the Reds prepare for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EmiratesFACup?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#EmiratesFACup<\/a> action \ud83d\udcfa<\/p>\n<p>Watch now on LFCTV GO \u2935\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Liverpool FC (@LFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LFC\/status\/1750957138950738200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 26, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Klopp revealed injury news in his\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolfc.com\/news\/jurgen-klopps-fa-cup-press-conference-norwich-tie-resilience-and-youngsters-growth\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">press conference.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It seems unlikely that Alexander-Arnold will manage to start as he &#8220;was not in team training,&#8221; but Klopp insisted he &#8220;will have to see.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Andy Robertson may start, as he was in the squad for Fulham and is &#8220;physically ready.&#8221; However, he may be saved for the match against Chelsea on January 31.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dominik Szoboszlai is now &#8220;in [training] completely normal.
