"Goalkeeper: Freddie Woodman Hear me out. Alisson Becker as we all know is injured, and Giorgi Mamardashvili has played a lot of football in his stead. Mamardashvili played in Liverpool's Carabao Cup third round victory over Southampton. Last season, when Alisson was injured around the same period Viteslav Jaros featured in the League Cup. This means that Freddie Woodman could be in line for a competitive Liverpool debut, as Slot aims to give him gametime in case of injury to Mamardashvili."
"Left-back: Andrew Robertson Robertson and Milos Kerkez have tended to alternate left-back duties this season, with Robertson playing in the week. Despite scoring, Kerkez struggled again at the weekend, and Robertson is thus even likelier to feature. Brentford v Liverpool - Premier League | Ryan Pierse/GettyImages He will be keen to show once again that he is the best man for the job."
"Centre-back: Virgil van Dijk Liverpool's left-sided centre-back is almost never in doubt as van Dijk gets the nod amid a shortage of Liverpool centre-backs. Giovanni Leoni featured against Southampton, but after his season-ending injury, van Dijk is almost certain to play. Van Dijk will be keen to put in better performances and quiet the noise around the club and any spurious questions about his leadership."
Liverpool's poor run of form began with a late defeat to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park and includes two losses to Palace this season, one at Wembley in the Community Shield. Liverpool will seek to end the run at Anfield on Wednesday. Alisson Becker remains injured and Giorgi Mamardashvili has played heavily, prompting consideration of Freddie Woodman for a competitive debut. Andrew Robertson looks likeliest to start at left-back after Milos Kerkez struggled. Virgil van Dijk is almost certain to play amid a shortage of centre-backs, while Joe Gomez can press for a stronger showing.
