Liverpool Team News vs Leicester City: Bajcetic, Thiago, Alexander-Arnold

With only three fitness concerns right now: Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool FC are rapidly moving towards being a fully fit squad.

It’s a big reason why the Reds are off to a rip roaring start this young season, presenting themselves as the perhaps the best potential challenger to Manchester City.

Most people thought, entering this season, Arsenal would be the side that would play such a role, but it’s Jurgen Klopp’s men who look the second strongest in English football right now.

Maybe then 2023-24 will also go the way of almost every season in the late 2010s and early 2020s?

Taking it one match at a time, the next fixture is a visit from Leicester City in the League Cup. Alexander-Arnold (hamstring/thigh problem) and Thiago (hip injury) missed out on yesterday’s 3-1 win over West Ham.

So neither will likely feature in midweek, even if they are 100% match fit and ready to do so.

Bajcetic (adductor issue) missed out on well, but he only made his long-awaited season debut in the previous game, a UEL group stage clash, so he’s up in the air for this one too.
