Liverpool are set to take on Ipswich Town at Portman Road as they look for their first Premier League win under Andoni Iraola.
Most of the pre-match coverage has revolved around Bradley Barcola after the French international’s big-money move from PSG before the transfer deadline.
Barcola is with the squad and could make his debut in the second half based on how the game pans out.
Elsewhere, Ronald Araujo makes his first start for the club as a right-back with Jeremie Frimpong dropping to the bench.
There were suggestions that Dom Szoboszlai could play in that position and one could argue he’s become accustomed to it, but the Uruguayan gets the nod and will look to make it count.

And Cody Gakpo retains his place in the starting XI after his surprise transfer saga with Manchester City ended with him remaining at Anfield.
The Dutch international has been a model professional and will look to build on his strong showing on the right flank at Anfield last weekend.
Confirmed Liverpool starting XI vs Ipswich Town: Alisson Becker; Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez; Dom Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister; Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Victor Munoz; Alexander Isak
