The Reds signed the Dutchman on a long-term contract on Friday evening, subject to a work permit. Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai should form the midfield.
Jürgen Klopp also has to do without Virgil van Dijk in defense after the captain’s red card in Newcastle, while his central defender colleague Ibrahima Konate is out due to injury.
That means Joel Matip and Joe Gomez will start for the Villans’ visit, with the inexperienced Jarell Quansah acting as a reserve.
Darwin Nunez started brilliantly with a remarkable brace in Newcastle and could have secured a place ahead of Luis Diaz or Diogo Jota. Jota was also on the bench in the win at St James’ Park.
Liverpool’s expected starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Matip, Robertson; Endo, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Injuries: Konate, Thiago, Jones
Not registered: Gravenberg
Exposed: Van Dijk
Time and date: 2:00pm BST, Sunday 3 September 2023
