Mac Allister has been deployed as the No 6 despite naturally being more of an attack-minded player but his quality has still shown which says plenty about his ability as a footballer. Right now, the pair are simply undroppable and both will start away at Spurs this weekend. Alongside them, Curtis Jones has excelled while being used in a Gini Wijnaldum-like role.<\/p>\n
Jones is effectively doing what Mac Allister did at Brighton, being a\u00a0facilitator,\u00a0and has been excellent on and off the ball. As it stands, he too is a surefire starter despite a midweek start at right-back against Leicester. Thiago Alcantara will soon return and Harvey Elliott, Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo are other strong options in midfield but for now, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister and Jones, are the go-to trio.<\/p>\n
Time will tell if Endo can work his way into the starting line-up, which would see Mac Allister replace Jones as the left-sided No 8. His performance against Leicester was a positive step in that regard. Liverpool also now have an established first-choice front three under Klopp.<\/p>\n
Luis Diaz is the No 1 pick on the left over Diogo Jota, though the pair both have three goals apiece this term. Diaz’s greater explosiveness makes him the superior asset to start games right now. Similarly, the constantly involved Darwin Nunez should be the preferred starting centre-forward to Cody Gakpo in the league.<\/p>\n

MORE LIVERPOOL… <\/strong> Since his brilliant Newcastle brace, Nunez has been heavily involved in wins over Aston Villa, Wolves and West Ham. After coming off the bench at Molineux, Liverpool’s attack was far livelier thanks to the Uruguayan’s incessant movement in behind and his improved pressing. He is refining his game and steadily becoming the big-money striker Klopp wanted when he bought him.<\/p>\n That means for the time being – until injuries or poor individual form strike – 10 of Liverpool’s 11 starting positions look relatively nailed. The only spot up for debate is the centre-back position next to Van Dijk, with the rejuvenated duo of Joe Gomez and Joel Matip competing with Ibrahima Konate.<\/p>\n Against Spurs it may be Konate tasked with staying in the foot race with captain Son Heung-min. That’s because Alexander-Arnold is only just back from injury so Joe Gomez will surely play at right-back. Whoever then starts at centre-half at Brighton – be it Gomez, Konate or Matip – it’s been a while since Liverpool’s squad has felt so strong.<\/p>\n NOW has unleashed a brilliant offer for Sky Sports fans.
