Team News
Van Dijk will not be the only notable absentee from Liverpool’s backline. The Dutch skipper, who was charged by the FA due to his colourful exchange with the officials last weekend, will be joined on the sidelines by the injured centre-back Ibrahima Konate.
Thiago Alcantara will also take up his well-worn seat in the treatment room but Curtis Jones has overcome an ankle problem to once again be considered for selection.
Following a dramatic, game-changing cameo against Newcastle, Klopp may be tempted to field Darwin Nunez from the off on Sunday afternoon.

Posting this thread early since I will likely be waking up close to kick off.
Attacking team!
Hoping for us to go into the annoying September break with 3 goals (and hopefully not conceding any)
Great win. Happy to see a clean sheet. Should have probably been 4 or 5 goals, but in have confidence we’ll put away those close chances as the season progresses.
Lovely game. Fingers crossed it is nothing serious with Trent!
Feels like a statement of intent. I’m whispering that we can do anything this season
Brilliant pass from Salah to Darwin! He should have buried that, but I’ll take the own goal
Szobo!!!
Gomez and Matip as CBs?
Yup, that looks to be the case
