News – Liverpool raise third offer for signing – Star accepts deal to arrive after two years in 2026
The Reds haven’t made a new signing so far this window but the good news for the Dutchman is that he doesn’t have any injury concerns ahead of this opening fixture.
Alisson is set to be between the sticks and Caoimhin Kelleher will be among the substitutes. Jarell Quansah played well at the back during the pre-season hence, he could start over Ibrahima Konate tomorrow with Virgil van Dijk going to feature alongside the 21-year-old in the central defense.
There are doubts about who will be in the left-back position as Andrew Robertson only played 60 minutes during the pre-season, while Konstantinos Tsimikas featured heavily. But, it is likely the Scotsman will be preferred over the former Olympiacos man with Trent Alexander-Arnold set to be on the opposite side.
Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai might be the midfield trio for Liverpool tomorrow, while Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo could feature off the bench.
Diogo Jota is expected to lead the line over Darwin Nunez, while Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz should start on the flanks. Therefore, Cody Gakpo will have to make do with a place on the bench.
Liverpool’s strongest possible starting XI vs Ipswich Town: 4-3-3: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Diaz, Jota, Salah.
