iogo Jota is pushing to start for Liverpool against Greuther Furth after his impressive cameo off the bench.
The Reds began their pre-season fixture list with a 4-2 win over German side Karlsruher and now take on Furth in a behind-closed-doors clash, before the focus shifts to sterner tests against Leicester and Bayern Munich.
Jota scored twice and provided an assist as a substitute last time out and could come into the starting lineup, with Cody Gakpo also potentially getting his chance to lead the line in place of Darwin Nunez.
Dominik Szoboszlai, who is a doubt with an ankle knock, made his first start for Liverpool in that win and Alexis Mac Allister will be hoping to do likewise against Furth, while Jurgen Klopp has a decision to make over Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Reds boss opted to play the England star in a more traditional midfield role with Conor Bradley at right-back, and Klopp may continue with that experiment here. Joe Gomez could come in as a more experienced option at full-back.
Alisson is seto be involved after being left out against Karlsruher, while Thiago and Stefan Bajcetic are both nearing returns.
Fabinho and Jordan Henderson will not feature, as the pair close in on moves to Saudi Arabia.
Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Alexander-Arnold, Clark, Mac Allister; Salah, Gakpo, Jota
Injured: Bajcetic, Thiago, Phillips
Doubt: Szoboszlai
Absent: Fabinho, Henderson
Time and date: 12pm BST on Monday, July 24, 2023.
Venue: Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer
