The Reds have made five new additions to their squad with the prospect of more to come before the September 1 deadline.

Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman have all been signed by Liverpool before the end of June.

In the defence, though, there is likely to be plenty of changes.

Virgil van Dijk will once again be looking to start at centre-back as club captain for Liverpool.

At full-back, Frimpong could replace Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right, while Kerkez will be looking to compete with Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas at left-back.

Ibrahima Konate is currently the first-choice centre-back partner for Van Dijk at Liverpool, with Joe Gomez also an option.

Jarell Quansah is expected to complete a £35million move to Bayer Leverkusen, leaving the Reds needing to sign a replacement.

Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi has been heavily linked with signing for Liverpool over the last few weeks.

If the Reds were to sign Guehi, it's likely that the centre-back would have ambitions of starting alongside Van Dijk on a regular basis.

Into midfield, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister could be the first-choice pairing in the double pivot going into the new season.

Liverpool dream line-up for 2025/26: Alisson; Frimpong, Guehi, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Wirtz, Diaz; Isak
