confirmed matchup between Sheffield United and Liverpool
Four changes have been made by Jurgen Klopp for Liverpool’s Premier League match at Bramall Lane against Sheffield United (19.30 GMT).
Following Sunday’s exciting 4-3 victory over Wolves, Darwin Nunez has been moved to the bench. Instead, Mo Salah is going for his 200th goal for the Reds, and Cody Gakpo is leading the attack. Luis Diaz remains on the left side.
Wataru Endo, who scored against Fulham off the bench, makes his third Premier League start in the meantime. Due to Ryan Gravenberch’s withdrawal, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboslzai, who have played a lot in the number-six position since joining from Brighton in the summer, are positioned in a more attacking midfield role.
As anticipated, Ibrahima Konate takes Joel Matip’s spot in defense due to injury. Curiously, Joe Gomez replaces Kostas Tsimikas at left defense, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk starting in front of Caoimhin Kelleher, the goalie. Liverpool can close the gap on leaders Arsenal to just two points with a victory.
Liverpool: Kelleher; Endo, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Gomez. Adrian, Pitaluga, Bradley, Tsimikas, Jones, Elliott, Gravenberch, and Nunez are the substitutes.

At Elland Road, the 17-year-old made a name for himself and became a key member of Daniel Farke’s squad. Although Gray is a midfielder by trade, he can also play right back when necessary. He can also play centrally, defensively, and forward.
This season, Gray has participated in all but one Championship game and started 16 out of 19 games. Many people, including Liverpool, are taking notice of his youthful responsibilities.
The young prodigy has previously been linked to the Reds, who are looking to bolster their own midfield ranks. Steve McManaman, a former legend of Anfield, doesn’t think the connections will materialize, though, particularly given that Gray is already rated at an incredibleThe former England international told Betfred, “He’s a player with a history in football and he’s a brilliant talent, but when you’re talking about £40 million to £50 million for a 17-year-old, then I believe those rumors are a bit far-fetched at this moment in time.
