Our Liverpool writers have their say...

Paul Gorst

Football is belatedly back at Liverpool and the Premier League title charge resumes, with the lead now standing at nine points after Arsenal's win on Tuesday night.

In midfield, a fully-rested and recharged Ryan Gravenberch slots in alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai starts further forward.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Quansah, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Jota.

It's the start of the Premier League season, and what a fixture to kick it off with - the Merseyside derby.

And for this one, Darwin Nunez can go down the centre to annoy Everton.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Quansah, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez.

The Premier League title run-in starts here.

Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai can start again too, with Curtis Jones on the bench, with it hoped that the midfield have rediscovered their form in the fortnight since that disappointing League Cup final loss.

Mohamed Salah starts on the right while Cody Gakpo gets a first start since the last Merseyside derby in mid-February after overcoming injury as he returns on the left.

And then it’s the ongoing debate regarding who starts upfront, with none of Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz covering themselves in glory in the position this season.

I’m torn between the Portuguese, as a natural centre-forward, and the Colombian, who was at least back in the goals during the international break, with Diaz just about getting the nod

It’s not ideal, but needs must.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Quansah, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Diaz.
