Dominik Szoboszlai has been suggested by some supporters as a candidate to reclaim his place at right-back, having filled in there last season.Yet Iraola, for now, prefers Liverpool's No.

On the right, it seems to be a straight choice between Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr and Brighton's Yankuba Minteh.The Reds are yet to find a replacement for Salah on that flank, and Minteh has attracted considerable interest. Currently, Sarr appears the most probable option, with the Reds having already tested Palace with a £50m bid.Yet, in an ideal world, it seems the Reds would rather secure the signing of Minteh, despite having already seen two offers for the Gambian international turned down.Liverpool's dream XI: Alisson; Frimpong, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Minteh, Isak, Barcola
