Having fallen to a fourth consecutive defeat at home to Manchester United on Sunday, concerns over Liverpool’s spending spree during the summer have been magnified, with this season’s new-look side continuing to look disjointed, and Slot still no nearer to working out his best side. Let’s start with the obvious - Giorgi Mamardashvili will make his first Champions League start for the Reds in goal, and he will need to do better than he managed for United’s early opener at the weekend.

Milos Kerkez needs to be taken out of the firing line, and Andy Robertson is overdue his place back in the side at left-back. Given his recent performances, Mohamed Salah should be dropped, and given Federico Chiesa’s displays off the bench, the Italian should start.

Mohamed Salah has been in poor form for Liverpool (Image: Michael Regan/Getty Images) The jury might still be out on Florian Wirtz, but he was one of the brighter performers during the second half against United, and against a side that he would have faced regularly during his time in the Bundesliga, hopefully this might finally be the game to kick-start his Liverpool career. Liverpool can’t afford to carry a player still searching for form and fitness, so Hugo Ekitike should lead the line against his former club.
