Liverpool vs. Ipswich Town lineups, predicted lineups, team news
Liverpool have enjoyed a good record in terms of injuries this season, but one player who’s struggled for fitness is Diogo Jota, who only recently returned from injury ago but has gone down again for a few weeks with another muscle injury. Slot said Darwin Nunez would take Jota’s place in the depth chart.
The only other player working his way back from injury is Joe Gomez, who is recovering from a hamstring issue.
Another question for Slot is who to start at left-back, with Kostas Tsimikas performing well while Andy Robertson has been struggling for form.
Liverpool predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Tsimikas — Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Nunez, Gakpo
Injured: Jota (muscle), Gomez (hamstring)
Suspended: None
It will be interesting to see whether Kieran McKenna will make any changes after being slaughtered by Man City by a 6-0 scoreline last time out. Axel Tuanzebe could be pushing for a spot at the back, while Arijanet Muric might be looking to reclaim his place in goal after four matches on the bench.
They are without Chiedozie Ogbene, who is out for the season with an Achilles tear, while Sammie Szmodics will miss out thanks to an ankle problem. Conor Chaplin will also need a few more weeks to make his way back from a knee injury.
Ipswich Town predicted XI (5-4-1, right to left): Muric (GK) — Johnson, Godfrey, O’Shea, Burgess, Davis — Hutchinson, Morsy, Cajuste, Clarke — Delap
Injured: Ogbene (Achilles), Szmodics (ankle), Chaplin (knee)
Suspended: None
Liverpool vs. Ipswich Prediction
Liverpool are riding high on confidence after securing their place in the Champions League Round of 16. They are facing an Ipswich side which shipped in six goals against Manchester City in their last fixture.
Ipswich have been marginally better on the road than at home with the Tractor Boys beating Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers away. However, they may find it difficult to even lay a glove on high-flying Liverpool.
- Prediction: Liverpool 4-0 Ipswich Town
