Liverpool Manager Arne Slot

Liverpool travel to Turf Moor on Sunday in their striking new green third kit, but the real intrigue surrounds who Arne Slot trusts to fill the void at right-back.

Slot himself was glowing in praise:

“He’s always been the player that I think understands what a Liverpool player should look like.

A confidence player, his current form makes him close to undroppable.

Slot must decide whether to persist with the Hungarian at right-back or restore him to midfield, where Alexis Mac Allister’s recovery and Florian Wirtz’s adaptation need careful management.

Wherever he lines up, Szoboszlai has been Liverpool’s standout.

On current evidence, he is not just their form player, but one of the Premier League’s best performers so far this season.
