Liverpool receives Sunderland in the midweek Premier League round. Kickoff at 8:45 p.m. at Anfield. After a complicated period, the Reds have regained victory with West Ham and want to confirm at home to return to the European zone. However, they will have to reckon with the surprising newly-promoted side, capable so far of settling in the left side of the standings.

Flop Liverpool, in the fans’ crosshairs also Florian Wirtz (who wasn't there)
The Reds also lost in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven.
After the match English fans vented on social…

"They have to leave all those who arrived in the summer" sentenced a user
"Give us back the team from last year, it is becoming embarrassing" added another fan

Florian Wirtz also ended up in the fans’ crosshairs despite his absence with PSV (injury): "He wasn&#039t there but Wirtz is the'emblem of this lousy team" wrote a user who received a lot of likes
Of course the'former Bayer Leverkusen outfielder is among the footballers who is struggling most at Liverpool
Evidently he has not yet settled into the new team but the fans’ patience is over
Tons were also expected of him because he was paid over 120 million euros
So far he has collected just 3 assists with the Liverpool jersey
Of course Florian Wirtz is not the'only soccer player who is making little: Isak has scored only 1 goal so far

Arne Slot risks so much: a change of course is urgently needed

Slot is expected to revive Salah from the first minute: the Egyptian is expected to act in the three-quarter along with Gakpo and Wirtz, forming the support line for the only forward Isak. Midfield dike formed by Gravenberch and Mac Allister, defense headed by Van Dijk.

No revolution for Le Bris, who should confirm his proven 5-4-1. In the middle of the field there is still room for Traoré, Xhaka, Sadiki and former Roma man Le Fée, with Isidor the only offensive reference. Only the injured Diarra and Alese are absent.

Probable lineups

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak. Coach: Slot.

Sunderland (5-4-1): Roefs; Hume, Mukiele, Ballard, Geertruida, Mandava; Traore, Xhaka, Sadiki, Le Fee; Isidor. Coach: Le Bris.
