Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Ipswich Town.

In what will be his first Premier League match in charge of Liverpool, manager Arne Slot should have all of his players fit and raring to go for Saturday's lunchtime kickoff at Ipswich Town.

The Dutchman's only doubt would have been 19-year-old midfielder Bobby Clark due to a back problem, but the teenager is now on the brink of a £10m transfer to Red Bull Salzburg.

With Andrew Robertson and Dominik Szoboszlai both shaking off knocks, the Reds have a clean bill of health at Portman Road, where Slot faces critical selection dilemmas in all thirds of the pitch.

The futures of Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz have been up in the air for some time, but the pair should both start on Saturday, where Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez will scrap it ought to lead the line.

Jota's goal and assist against Sevilla may just tip the scales in his favour, while Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister are guarantees in a Martin Zubimendi-less midfield; some Reds fans may still be reeling from the Spaniard's rejection.

Wataru Endo was a workhorse in the number six role last term, but Slot may wish to have a look at the more youthful Ryan Gravenberch in the deepest midfield position this time around.

Robertson's return to fitness should see the Scotsman join mainstays Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson Becker at the back, but who will partner the former is up for debate.

Slot has apparently not taken a liking to Ibrahima Konate yet, so Jarell Quansah seemingly has the best chance of starting alongside Van Dijk, as he did towards the end of Jurgen Klopp's reign.

Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jota, Diaz
