ALISSON OUT AS KELLEHER STARTS – SURPRISE DEFENSIVE SWITCH FOR LIVERPOOL!
Liverpool’s starting XI for tonight’s match comes with a couple of surprises, as Alisson Becker is ruled out entirely despite returning to training earlier in the week after suffering a concussion on international duty. As a result, Caoimhin Kelleher retains his spot in goal, following his heroics in the Carabao Cup final.
🧤 Kelleher Steps Up Again:
With Alisson still not deemed fit enough to return, Kelleher will be tasked with keeping Liverpool solid at the back. The Irish shot-stopper has impressed in cup competitions and will now get another opportunity to showcase his talent on the big stage.
🔄 Curtis Jones at Right-Back – A Tactical Surprise?
In a surprising defensive switch, Curtis Jones has been selected at right-back instead of Jarell Quansah. While it might seem like an unusual move, the 24-year-old has experience in the position, having played there three times previously for Liverpool – most recently in the Carabao Cup victory over Leicester last season.
⚽ What This Means for Liverpool Tonight:
Jones’ selection at right-back suggests Jurgen Klopp is looking for a more attacking full-back option.
Kelleher gets another big test in Alisson’s absence—can he deliver once again?
Defensive flexibility will be key as Liverpool adjust to these unexpected changes.
With crucial points on the line, will these tactical tweaks prove to be masterstrokes or risky gambles? Stay tuned
