Liverpool youngster gets first start among 3 changes by Klopp – team news confirmed for Wolves game
Jurgen Klopp has made three changes to the Liverpool starting XI for this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Wolves.
The Reds return to action following the international break and will be hoping to pick up where they left off, having won their last three matches, with the most recent of those a resounding 3-0 home win over Aston Villa.
Today’s trip to Molineux sees a few alterations from the line-up which began that game 13 days ago, with a mixture of enforced and optional changes.
Alisson Becker is in goal as per usual but there are changes to the composition of the backline ahead of him.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s absence with a hamstring injury sees Joe Gomez move to right-back, with Jarell Quansah coming in for his first senior start for Liverpool to fill the centre-back void alongside Joel Matip, while Andy Robertson starts on the left.
In midfield, it’s the same starting trio as against Villa, with Curtis Jones, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szobozslai getting the nod. Ryan Gravenberch is on the bench, as is the returning Stefan Bajcetic.
Up front, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz drop out after both travelled to and from South America for World Cup qualifiers in recent days.
Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo, who both scored twice each for their respective countries on international duty, come in for that duo, with Mo Salah the one forward to keep his place.

Report claims Liverpool are in advanced talks to seal £48 million signing
Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months.
It appears that Liverpool are currently in advanced talks to sign the defender. According to a report from Ecuadorian outlet Marca90 via LFC transfer room, negotiations are currently advanced for the 21-year-old defender and the deal could cost around £48 million.
Liverpool needed to bring in defensive reinforcements during the summer transfer window but they chose to focus on the midfield instead. They have done well to improve the midfield unit and they must look to plug the gaps at the back now.
Liverpool need to bring in a defender who can operate as a full-back as well. Hincapie certainly fits the profile and he should prove to be a quality, long-term addition to Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are the only reliable central defenders at the club right now. While the likes of Joel Matip and Joe Gomez have been very useful players for Liverpool over the years, their fitness record is unreliable and they have clearly regressed over the past year.
Liverpool need better players in order to compete against the elite clubs and Hincapie has the potential to develop into a top-class defender. The left-sided central defender can operate as a left-back as well. Furthermore, he can slot into a back three as well as a back four.
He has the technical and physical attributes to thrive in the Premier League as well. The reported £48 million transfer could seem like money well spent in the long run.
