Caoimhin Kelleher has been the main goalkeeper for Liverpool since Alisson Becker’s injury in early February. Alisson is expected to return to team training in a few weeks but will not be available for the upcoming match against Manchester United. Kelleher, with 24 appearances in all competitions, is having his most active season yet and is expected to continue as the starting goalkeeper.
In defense, Trent Alexander-Arnold is hoping to return in a couple of weeks, but for now, Conor Bradley is likely to continue at right-back. Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, and Andrew Robertson are expected to start against United. Wataru Endo, a crucial presence in Liverpool’s midfield, is likely to be back in contention to face Manchester United after being rested in the previous match.
His role will be key in stifling United’s creativity, led by Bruno Fernandes. Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, and Luis Diaz have been in good form, with Nunez and Salah scoring in recent matches. They are expected to provide pace and directness in Liverpool’s attack against a United team dealing with defensive injury issues.
Several players, including Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota, and Curtis Jones, are set to miss the match due to injury.
