Liverpool have signed Victor Muñoz and look increasingly likely to add to their attack with the potential signing of Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. So, why not look at how the Liverpool attack could line up with those two players heading towards Anfield.On either wing (4-2-3-1) or (4-3-3)Should Muñoz and Barcola both be selected in the starting line-up, there is a strong chance they will operate in their preferred positions on the wings.

Barcola would primarily feature on the left, while Muñoz could be the favourite to occupy the right, a position that could otherwise belong to Rio Ngumoha in the absence of Mohamed Salah.If Iraola deploys a 4-2-3-1 formation, the two new signings would likely play either side of Florian Wirtz, with Alexander Isak leading the line. Against more attacking opposition, Wirtz could drop deeper to form a three-man midfield, effectively shifting Liverpool into a 4-3-3.Barcola would likely be the main attacking threat if he joins, making his link-up with Isak and Wirtz crucial to Liverpool’s attacking patterns.

Alternatively, he could adapt his role by moving into a more central position behind the striker, rather than continuing to operate from the left and cutting inside onto his right foot.Both could therefore offer Liverpool unpredictability, pace and valuable depth across the forward line.Both free spirits behind striker (4-3-2-1) or (5-2-2-1)This is arguably the least likely system Iraola will deploy, given Liverpool’s lack of fit central defenders and the fact that the head coach does not regularly use a back five. His preferred setup is a 4-2-3-1, although he has shown a willingness to adapt his approach depending on the opposition.In this system, the two new signings could operate in more central attacking areas alongside Florian Wirtz.
