Liverpool will be hoping for another Premier League title boost when they face Ipswich Town at Anfield on Saturday. The Reds face the Tractor Boys at home for the first time since a 5-0 victory in 2002.

And Arne Slot's side will hope that they can win the match and extend a lead at the top that currently stands at six points with a game in hand on title rivals Arsenal, who travel to Wolves at the same time.

But who will the Liverpool boss pick for the game? Will he rotate? Our writers pick their Liverpool teams for the clash with Ipswich below.

Konate returns before sitting out PSV

Paul Gorst: Having revealed, rather candidly on Monday, that he has been playing through the pain barrier in recent weeks, this might be a good chance to rest Ibrahima Konate in favour of Jarell Quansah.

But having regained his place at the back alongside Virgil van Dijk after Quansah struggled to contain Liam Delap in the reverse fixture back in August, perhaps Konate will still be required here? He can instead sit out Wednesday's Champions League trip to PSV.

Kostas Tsimikas keeps his place on the left side and Trent Alexander-Arnold returns on the right in favour of Conor Bradley, who did well against Lille on Tuesday night. Van Dijk captains the side.

In midfield, I was tempted to give Harvey Elliott the chance to start but Dominik Szoboszlai's claims are strong, so the powerful running of the Hungary captain stays in the team with Elliott left in reserve ahead of PSV. Ditto for Wataru Endo, while Curtis Jones recovers from his minor injury.

Up top, the decisions revolve around starting either Darwin Nunez or Luis Diaz through the middle or moving the latter to the left in place of Cody Gakpo? Federico Chiesa can hopefully play some part, all being well. In this instance, Nunez keeps his place and Diaz shuffles over to the left.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Nunez.

Tsimikas deserves another go at left-back

Ian Doyle: There may be no easy games in the Premier League games, but some games are easier than others. And having had to negotiate some tricky assignments in recent weeks, Liverpool will hope Ipswich, while still tough, aren't quite tough enough.

What, then, is Reds boss Arne Slot to do? There will be changes from the Champions League win over Lille in midweek, but that will largely be to strengthen the team.

Alisson Becker remains in goal but Trent Alexander-Arnold returns at right-back, with Ibrahima Konate in to partner skipper Virgil van Dijk at centre-back. Kostas Tsimikas deserves another go at left-back ahead of Andy Robertson.

In midfield, Alexis Mac Allister steps in alongside Ryan Gravenberch at the defensive pivot, with Harvey Elliott finally meriting a Premier League start in the number 10 role.

Up top, Darwin Nunez leads the line and Mohamed Salah is on the right, but Cody Gakpo can come in for Luis Diaz on the opposite flank.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Elliott, Gakpo; Nunez.

Carefully managed minutes and another Chiesa cameo

Joe Rimmer: The last time Liverpool faced Ipswich at home they triumphed 5-0 and sent the Tractor Boys down. The Reds will hope for a similar scoreline this time out to push Kieran McKenna's side further into the mire at the bottom of the table.

And I expect very little rotation from Arne Slot for the match at Anfield.

Alisson Becker starts in goal, with Trent Alexander-Arnold coming back in for Conor Bradley at right-back, Ibrahima Konate returning for Jarell Quansah before Virgil van Dijk and Kostas Tsimikas make up the back four. I'd keep the Greek in the side now with him pushing himself just ahead of Andy Robertson in the pecking order at left-back.

Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai make up my midfield, though I'd be minded to manage their minutes carefully if Liverpool are in a healthy position at the halfway point of the match.

Darwin Nunez's run in the side should continue, with Cody Gakpo in for Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah on the opposite flank. I'd also like to see more minutes for Federico Chiesa after a couple of encouraging cameos.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez.
