Liverpool is back in Premier League action as a trip down south to Ipswich Town awaits, with Andoni Iraola hoping the third time is the charm for his first win in the dugout with the Reds.

It's been a mixed start for the Merseyside outfit so far, having fallen behind in both of the opening games of the campaign so far, but managing to rescue a point with two 2-2 draws against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest respectively.

In facing Ipswich, there is an opportunity to pick up the first three points of the campaign, though the home side will be hoping it can make an impact after one win and one defeat so far.

With a tantalizing clash on the horizon, here's a look at every Liverpool player available for some Friday night Premier League action.

Liverpool's defensive options remain the same, too, with Virgil van Dijk and Jeremy Jacquet likely to partner alongside each other once again.

Milos Kerkez looks likely to keep his place at left-back, though there have been questions over Jeremie Frimpong's position at right-back. Joe Gomez may not feature, but he is closing in on a return from injury in the near future.

Liverpool's midfield is full of depth, with Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Florian Wirtz all vying to keep their place in the team, while Ryan Gravenberch is pushing to get back into it.

Trey Nyoni and James McConnell have been the academy duo to feature in squads lately, while Wataru Endo is a more experienced option from the bench if needed.

In the forward departments, Liverpool is still without the likes of Federico Chiesa and Hugo Ekitike, but there are still some strong options available anyway.

That includes Bradley Barcola, with Iraola revealing that the $166 million arrival is ready to make his debut against Ipswich, even though he has had no preseason.
