Liverpool XI vs Manchester United: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest - Premier League today

Federico Chiesa is not in the squad for Liverpool against Manchester United today.

The Italian forward has moved to Anfield on a cut-price deal after an injury-hit few seasons with Juventus, and was registered before the 12pm midday deadline on Friday so is eligible to face the Red Devils at Old Trafford.

However, Liverpool manager Arne Slot said in his pre-match press conference that Chiesa was unlikely to be involved for his new club so soon.

“He’s going to train with us today [Friday] but it’s a bigger chance that he is not in the squad for Sunday than he is,” Slot said. “If injuries might come up in the upcoming two days we might need him, but I don’t expect him to be in but I cannot guarantee this.”

It was always likely to be an unchanged, or very close to, selection from the Liverpool head coach after two relatively comfortably 2-0 wins to kick off the season, beating newly-promoted Ipswich and then Brentford.

Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota have all scored at least once so far this season, while Dominik Szoboszlai is enjoying a No10 role.

Jarell Quansah appears to have lost his spot 45 minutes into the season, so Ibrahima Konate should start again at centre-back.

Curtis Jones is not training due to injury, but everyone else is fit and available for one of Liverpool’s biggest games of the season.

Starting Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Jota, Diaz

Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Endo, Nunez, Gakpo, Elliott, Tsimikas, Quansah, Bradley
