Liverpool may make four changes Against Fulham due to yet another injury concern.

Next up for Liverpool in the League Cup is Fulham, and Jurgen Klopp will have to deal with some difficult selection decisions.

Liverpool defeated Bournemouth resoundingly on Sunday afternoon, increasing their advantage atop the Premier League standings.

The Reds dominated a 4-0 victory led by Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota, who each scored twice to put them five points ahead and extend their winning streak to 32 Premier League games.

Liverpool’s focus now shifts to trying to secure a spot in the League Cup final, as they go to Fulham on Wednesday for their semi-final second leg. And here we look ahead to the adjustments Jurgen Klopp could make when his club are next in action.

Once more, Liverpool’s rotation will be restricted as they seek for Wembley due to a shortage of players. However, Klopp does not have no other options.

There will undoubtedly be a change in goalie, with Adrian and Alisson Becker losing to League Cup winner Caoimhin Kelleher. If Trent Alexander-Arnold is unavailable, as anticipated, there isn’t much leeway in the defensive.

Conor Bradley is expected to start at right back, with Joe Gomez being the backup option in case Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas are still sidelined. In the FA Cup this coming Saturday against Norwich City, Owen Beck might get the start at left back.

The center-back duo of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate is probably going to stick together, with Jarell Quansah being their major rival. Joel Matip is out for the season, and Nat Phillips has also been working out with the starting squad.

Szoboszlai back?

Given that Curtis Jones was forced off at Bournemouth due to a muscular issue, and Dominik Szoboszlai is close to making a comeback from a hamstring injury, it may be a case of one in, one out in midfield.

Wataru Endo and Alexis Mac Allister will probably start at number six in the Asia Cup. Ryan Gravenberch and Harvey Elliott will fight for the final two engine room spots; the former has already started on the right side of the South Coast in just three Premier League games this year.

Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara are still unavailable. Bobby Clark saw greater playing time against Bournemouth late on among the Academy possibilities, while James McConnell and Trey Nyoni have been Recently benched

Who aligns himself on the right wing continues to spark a lot of controversy, especially with Ben Doak, a teenager, and Mohamed Salah both out. Jota played in that role in the second half, but Luis Diaz started there against Bournemouth.

In the same game, Jota, Nunez, and replacement Cody Gakpo all took turns playing on the left. The fact that Jota and Nunez also alternated down the centre of the attack further highlights Klopp’s adaptability. Elliott is a versatile player who can play on either flank, but he will probably be needed in midfield as young winger Kaide Gordon earned his first Premier League appearance in over two years on Sunday.

‘Very clear message’ – former Liverpool player makes transfer decision amid Chelsea January links

In spite of previous claims, the former Liverpool player has made a transfer u-turn.

Based on the most recent sources, it appears like Roberto Firmino, the former star of Liverpool, could not be leaving Saudi Arabia after all.
After having difficulty in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ahli, the Brazilian was rumoured to be leaving during the January transfer window. After leaving Anfield in the summer when his contract ended, he made the move and made a fantastic debut with a hat-trick, but he hasn’t scored since.

According to Matt Law of the Telegraph, Firmino was linked to a move to Chelsea as the Blues wanted to reinforce their attack with Armando Broja being their sole senior central striker and Nicolas Jackson out on international duty. It stated that Firmino had grown dissatisfied with Saudi life, however current sources refuted such allegations.

Fabrizio Romano claims that the most recent information regarding Firmino is that he will stay at the Middle East club and that no move is planned. Despite recent claims, Roberto Firmino does not intend to leave Al Ahli during the January transfer window, the player posted on X. Message from his camp, quite clear:

He intends to remain at Al Ahli. No alterations are anticipated. His team is now third in the Saudi Pro League, behind Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, despite his problems in front of goal. They have one of the league’s most star-studded squads, with players like Edouard Mendy, Franck Kessie, Gabri Veiga, Allan Saint-Maximin, Riyad Mahrez, and Merih Demiral.

Firmino had earlier been connected to a trade to Sheffield United, but there was never any indication that the deal would materialise beyond transfer rumours. In just 25 league games last season, he managed a very respectable 11 goals and 4 assists, which was a fantastic return considering that Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Diogo Jota were all above him in the standings.
