Liverpool lineup against Sheffield United tonight knowing that anything less than a victory isn’t acceptable. The Reds have been in torrid form but failing to beat the Premier League’s bottom club would be a low point. Twitter has reacted to the confirmed Liverpool lineup to face Sheffield United:
Goalkeeper: Adrian
Alisson Becker’s father tragically passed away this week and he’s understandably been given some time off.
Right back: Trent Alexander-Arnold
The Scouser in our team is getting back to his best, his range of passing could be vital today.
Centre back: Ozan Kabak
The Turkish defender just needs to not get booked, that would be a start mate.
Centre back: Nat Phillips
Ben Davies has to wait for his debut as Nat Phillips keeps his place in the side.
Left back: Andy Robertson
The Scotland captain can be key to a good performance, his work rate can unsettle a defence.
Centre midfield: Gini Wijnaldum
The Dutchman never needs a rest, he’ll be at his energetic best tonight.
Centre midfield: Curtis Jones
The Scouser needs to be brave on the ball, he’s at his best when he is.
Centre midfield: Thiago
The Spaniard playing alongside Naby Keita will be interesting and we could well see that in the second half.
Left wing: Sadio Mane
Sadio never gives up but things haven’t gone his way recently, surely something will work tonight.
Striker: Roberto Firmino
The Brazilian surely would’ve been dropped by now if we had any competition for the striker role, hopefully he can play himself back into some better form.
Right wing: Mo Salah
The Egyptian King could be the difference maker, he just needs one chance.
Twitter reacts to lineup
Some fans are worried.
Alisson’s absence is understood.
