How Liverpool could line up against Chelsea on the opening day following the transfers of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai

Long distance forecasts on how Liverpool can start the opening day after new summer emissions against Chelsea “The newly watched midfielder must be exposed”

‘New-look midfield must be unleased’

Paul Gorst: Although a trip to Chelsea is not a cheap match for the first game of the new season, Liverpool received a happy break in this Premier League season.

The Londoners will not approach the bizarre underperformance of the season.
Consequently, a newly related Liverpool midfielder on August 13 with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai must simply be unleashed in Chelsea.

The most important thing for me is what to do with the central back? Andy Robertson’s idea as an auxiliary center is not ideal, but without a new leftist defender in the club, Klopp returns in a back orthodox flat? Either way, the idea of ​​Mac Allister and Szoboszlai pulling the strings in two reel number 8s is appealing.

Two new signings unleashed

Joe Rimmer: Looks like we’re going full steam ahead with Liverpool’s 3-2-2-3 after the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister and

Dominik Szoboszlai.

But does that mean they will both be in Chelsea’s opening day starting line-up?

Much will, of course, depend on preparation for the season, but Liverpool have not signed either player on the bench and while it is tempting to perhaps lighten up the other, both will be able to take part in a full pre-season run on the season. so it is realistic to include them from the start.

Any other new signing in midfield will, in my view, remain on the bench for the first few months of the season with Fabinho preferred, injuries and form allowed of course.

The defense and the goalkeeper keep getting up, but Klopp has a small dilemma ahead. Will it be a new beginning for Darwin Nunez or will the Uruguayan have to fight his way back? I approach the latter.

“Szoboszlai and Jones get the nod”

Sean Bradbury: Liverpool’s summer deals so far all point to Jurgen Klopp building his 3-2-2-3 experiment.

This raises some interesting long-term questions for a potential Opening Day squad at Chelsea. In the back, that’s sure to be a go-to if everyone’s fit. Alisson in goal, followed by Andy Roberson, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

The two main players are likely to be Fabinho and Trent Alexander-Arnold unless other signings are considered.
Then it gets interesting.

In attacking midfield, I assume only one of the newcomers will be in the starting XI. Alexis Mac Allister is the obvious contender given his league experience, but I’ll bring in Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai.

It’s a tricky away game but let’s see what the Hungarian has in his closet – maybe a long-range shot to promote himself to a flyer?
Up front, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah occupy the wing positions, with Cody Gakpo in the middle.

My team: Alisson; Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho; Szoboszlai, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.
“Mac Allister Made Debut”

Keifer MacDonald: If Jurgen Klopp and his side want to take something away from last season’s mistakes, it is that the Premier League offers little time for transition as the race for Champions League qualification appears to be contested by up to seven teams is denied.

The early additions of Mac Allister and Szoboszlai mean the Reds boss will have nearly five weeks of training with his new mega signings before his side take on Chelsea on 13 August.

Hypothetically, this means Liverpool will be spoiled for choice when it comes to the center of the park, with Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara joining the league having last returned from injuries at the end of the season.

Defensively, after an 11-game unbeaten run since April, the goalkeeper and back-line will surely choose for themselves. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if a midfield consisting of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Alexis Mac Allister, who all know the needs of the Premier League, take the credit on Opening Day.

Up front, Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo remain the Reds’ top two picks in that division, while Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez fight for the final starting spot. This time I’m backing the Colombian to make up for lost time from last campaign with an energetic performance in west London.

My team: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Mac Allister; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.
