Liverpool kick off matchday three of the Premier League against Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Friday evening, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 UK time.
Andoni Iraola is yet to taste victory since taking charge of the Reds, having overseen 2-2 draws against both Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest in his opening two matches.
With their Champions League campaign set to begin next week, Liverpool are desperate to secure their first Premier League win and build some meaningful momentum going forward.
The one change Iraola is expected to make sees Jeremy Jacquet drop out, with 27-year-old Ronald Araujo stepping in to make his first appearance for the club following his recent arrival.
Alisson Becker is expected to retain his place between the sticks, continuing as the first-choice goalkeeper for the visiting side at Portman Road.
Jeremie Frimpong’s form has been unconvincing across the opening two fixtures, but a lack of depth at right back means the Dutchman is likely to keep his place in the starting lineup.
Milos Kerkez is also expected to continue on the left side of defence, providing Liverpool with their regular outlet down that flank.
Virgil van Dijk is set to anchor the heart of Liverpool’s defensive line once again, partnering the incoming Araujo at the back.
Victor Munoz, who scored the crucial equaliser against Nottingham Forest last weekend, could be deployed on the right wing as Iraola looks to maintain some attacking threat.
Cody Gakpo, whose future had been the subject of weeks of speculation, is set to stay at Liverpool and could feature on the left wing in this fixture.
Alexander Isak is expected to lead the line as Liverpool’s primary striker, with new signing Bradley Barcola not yet considered fully fit for a starting role.
Liverpool will hope that the combination of Araujo’s fresh presence in defence and Munoz’s recent match-winning form provides the platform for a first victory under their new manager.
