Arne Slot Names Bold Liverpool Line-up for Man City as Injury Absence Continues
Liverpool manager Arne Slot selects a forward-heavy lineup with Florian Wirtz at No.10 and Hugo Ekitike leading despite defensive injuries amid Champions League qualification push.
- Liverpool announced an attacking XI for the Manchester City match at Anfield, with Szoboszlai deputising at right-back due to injuries, in a 16.30 GMT kickoff.
- With defensive injuries mounting, Slot lacked specialists at right-back as Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, and Jeremie Frimpong are sidelined while Joe Gomez remains out for the past fortnight and Liverpool failed to add cover before Monday's 7pm transfer deadline.
- Florian Wirtz will operate as the central No.10 with Hugo Ekitike leading the line after a weekend double to reach 15 goals, Mohamed Salah on the right and Cody Gakpo on the left.
- Liverpool face heightened pressure to secure Champions League qualification as they sit sixth and must respond after a 3-0 loss in the Etihad Stadium reverse meeting with Manchester City.
- Slot may instruct Dominik Szoboszlai to sit deeper against Manchester City, shielding defence as Erling Haaland poses a key challenge for Virgil van Dijk in a tough game.
