Liverpool will have selection problems before the Carabao Cup final versus Chelsea because of the absence of numerous important players due to injuries.
Curtis Jones, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Diogo Jota are all out, and Alisson’s availability is uncertain.
Caoimhin Kelleher, who has been Liverpool’s first choice in goal during their cup run, is anticipated to start, according to Mail Online.
Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate at center defense are the most likely starting lineup, with Andy Robertson starting at left back following his injury recovery.
There is a dilemma at right-back, where Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley are both good choices.
Bradley may be chosen due to his recent success and his performance against Chelsea in their most recent meeting, although Gomez’s adaptability and background may also be taken into account.
Wataru Endo is anticipated to occupy the holding position in midfield, with Alexis Mac Allister occupying a more advanced role.
Harvey Elliott or Ryan Gravenberch may compete for the final midfield position, but Gravenberch is more likely to win given his recent performance.
For the English giants, Mohamed Salah is scheduled to start on the right side of the wings, while Luis Diaz is anticipated to start on the left.
Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo are fighting for the starting striker spot; if Nunez is healthy, he should start because of his ability to create opportunities even though he issues with finishing.
Liverpool will want to unseat Chelsea for the coveted trophy a second time, despite their current situation.
