Liverpool are set to return to action on Saturday as Arne Slot leads the Reds out for the first time in-front of a crowd.

Slot has already taken charge of a friendly match for Liverpool, but that took place behind closed doors.

Saturday’s game will be a different story, with the new head coach faced with stands full of Reds supporters for the very first time.

It had looked likely that Caoimhin Kelleher was preparing for a move last week after not featuring during the friendly against Preston.

But he’s out in the USA and we think he’ll start between the sticks.

In-front of Kelleher is likely to be a very young looking back four.

Conor Bradley has looked electric in training under Slot and will hope to translate that to a game setting.

Next to Bradley will surely be his long-time academy colleague Jarell Quansah and Sepp van den Berg, who has a bit of a point to prove.

Van den Berg wants to leave Liverpool and is reportedly in talks with Hoffenheim over a move.

As a result, it looks like Kostas Tsimikas has the chance to revive his Liverpool career, starting on Saturday.

Although there are still a couple of likely regular starters away from Slot’s midfield, the boss does have a headache selecting his three – and we think it will be a three – in Pittsburgh.

However, Curtis Jones has raved about Slot in the build-up to match and we think the Scouser is one of the first names on the teamsheet for this one.

Dominik Szoboszlai should come in as well having been building his fitness during last Friday’s loss against Preston.

Harvey Elliott started that game instead of Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo, but we think Slot will stick the Japan captain in from the start for some balance this time.

If Slot has options in midfield, then his attack is a little less packed.

Mohamed Salah is the one, senior player Slot has available, though, and the Egyptian will be a big draw for the American crowd.

Next to Salah it’s likely to be a rather experimental front three from the head coach.

Fabio Carvalho started at the tip of it against Preston and without many other obvious options, we think the Portuguese will do so again.

Completing the attack should be Ben Doak, who really has the chance to make a case for next season.
