Liverpool are primed to hand out another debut, with third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman<\/a> in line for a start at Anfield in the Carabao Cup<\/a> as Alisson<\/a> remains sidelined.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Main LFC Headline<\/p>\n

Woodman, Liverpool\u2019s third-choice goalkeeper, is set to make his club debut next week as part of a rotated side for the Carabao Cup<\/a> tie against Crystal Palace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old is \u201cin firm consideration\u201d reports the Mail<\/a>\u2018s Lewis Steele, in what would be an unsurprising move to avoid a possible injury to Giorgi Mamardashvili<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Slot has used domestic cups to rotate his goalkeepers and with Mamardashvili stepping up to the No. 1 position in Alisson<\/a>\u2018s absence, it leaves Woodman to take up the normal No. 2 duties.<\/p>\n

\"ISTANBUL,<\/p>\n

It would not be a new move for Slot, who handed Vitezslav Jaros<\/a> his first Liverpool start at Brighton<\/a> in the Carabao Cup<\/a> last season in the absence of Alisson<\/a> and Caoimhin Kelleher<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Woodman featured for 90 minutes across two games in pre-season but has not played competitively since Preston\u2019s win over Portsmouth in mid-March.<\/p>\n

\"FRANKFURT,<\/p>\n

\u2022 Jeremie Frimpong<\/a> has been ruled out<\/a> with a hamstring injury which Slot says is \u201cgoing to take a while [to recover],\u201d while Alexander Isak<\/a> and Ryan Gravenberch<\/a> are doubts vs. Brentford<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 Reports in Germany have claimed<\/a> Bayern Munich<\/a> held a \u2018secret meeting\u2019 with Marc Guehi\u2018s agent (clearly not so secret). Liverpool still want him and we don\u2019t need any secret meetings to know that <\/p>\n

\u2022 The Milos Kerkez<\/a> vs. Andy Robertson<\/a> debate has raged on this season and although Slot swerved a question on his selection thoughts, he did explain his new signing has been a \u201cbit unlucky\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2022 Kostas Tsimikas<\/a> has featured just five times for Roma, and his manager Gian Piero Gasperini has explained that his exclusion is down to \u201ca technical choice\u201d \u2013 not exactly promising (Tuttomercatoweb<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mohamed Salah<\/a>\u2018s lack of goals is not concerning Slot<\/a> considering his incredible feats for the club \u2013 if he could stick a few away on Saturday that would be lovely!<\/p>\n

\"FRANKFURT,<\/p>\n

The focus of Liverpool\u2019s attack is gradually shifting away from Salah and he must adjust to that, writes Keifer MacDonald: <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is quite a contrast to where Salah found himself last season, when he was so central to Liverpool\u2019s plans to win the Premier League<\/a> that Slot effectively freed him of any defensive duties as part of a trade-off for his vital contributions in the final third.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis season, though, as Slot looks to put his own stamp on the Reds, he would be naive to centre his plans around a player who appears to be physically declining and also facing an uncertain long-term future at Anfield after signing only a two-year deal earlier this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"MANCHESTER,<\/p>\n

We may have just lost to Man United<\/a>, but Liverpool have been dominative over their rivals in recent years. <\/p>\n

October 24, 2021 saw Jurgen Klopp<\/a>\u2018s side thrash Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s men 5-0 at Old Trafford on a glorious day that saw many home fans begin to leave at half time.<\/p>\n

Naby Keita<\/a> and Diogo Jota<\/a> scored before Mo Salah<\/a> netted a hat-trick as he struck in a club record 10th consecutive match. <\/p>\n

This preceded a 4-0 win at Anfield later in the season, a memorable double!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are primed to hand out another debut, with third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman in line for a start…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":249481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[38570,403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-249480","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-round-up","9":"tag-soccer","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
