Liverpool predicted lineup vs Wolves: injury news and selection calls ahead of Anfield clashLiverpool return to Premier League action at Anfield with significant selection questions hanging over Arne

Central defensive cover is a massive issue for Liverpool, with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate the only fit senior options. Slot knows that his back line is stretched — Joe Gomez is out with a hamstring injury and Giovanni Leoni is unlikely to return until next season following an anterior cruciate ligament injury in September.

After barely featuring last season, Morton left to join Lyon in August, for a reported fee of €15million. Since then, the 23-year-old has done well and has established himself as a regular starter in midfield for Paulo Fonseca’s side.

Arne Slot makes two changes. Federico Chiesa makes his first Premier League start of the season for Liverpool. The Italian comes in for Dominik Szoboszlai, who is absent from the squad. Jeremie Frimpong comes in as the other change from Liverpool's win at Tottenham with Conor Bradley on the bench.

It is not a normal sight to see two sets of Premier League fans united in a common purpose. But Saturday at Anfield was not a normal day

Arne Slot's team come into the back of this game, having beaten Brighton and Tottenham in their last two games, and a feeling that they might have breathed some life back into what had been a wretched season until then.
