Liverpool fans, brace yourselves â tonightâs lineup talk is buzzing louder than the Kop on a derby night because everything is about to shake up at Anfield. The Reds are rolling into this clash with Sunderland like a team desperate to flip their entire storyline, and Kloppâs selection board is practically glowing with plot twists.
After nine losses in twelve â yeah, the kind of run that makes even rival fans say âbro you sure?â â Liverpool know itâs now or never. This game isnât just three points. Itâs a public reset button, a chance to shut down the memes, end the crisis-thread merchants, and breathe life back into a title defence everyoneâs already pronounced dead on arrival. But tonight⊠the script changes.
And it starts with the XI.
Joe Gomez is BACK in the lineup, sliding in like a man whoâs tired of watching the chaos from the sidelines. Klopp wants solidity, leadership, and someone who wonât glitch in the defensive matrix â Gomez ticks all those boxes and then some.
Mac Allister starts, summoned as the midfield brain Liverpool have been missing. The Reds need structure. They need calm. They need someone to stop the midfield from looking like a free-for-all at a music festival. The World Cup winner is stepping in with that âIâve got thisâ aura.
Florian Wirtz â YES, WIRTZ â gets the nod, the genius teenager with feet that move like heâs typing cheat codes into Premier League defenders. Fans have been begging to see him unleashed from the start, and Klopp is finally throwing him into the fire. Creativity? Injected. Chaos? Guaranteed.
Andy Robertson returns, injecting that raw, firecracker energy down the left â the type Liverpool have missed badly. Expect him to play like a man just freed from football jail.
But the headline everyoneâs waiting for?
MOHAMED SALAH. DECISION. MADE.
Klopp is starting him.
No rest. No bench cameo. No rotation experiment.
Salah is in the XI like a man ready to remind the world that even on a bad day, heâs still on 30-goal timing. With all the criticism flying around, Egyptâs king is stepping back onto the pitch with fire in his boots and receipts in his pockets.
Tonightâs possible XI is looking like:
Alisson
Gomez â KonatĂ© â Van Dijk â Robertson
Mac Allister â Szoboszlai â Wirtz
Salah â NĂșñez â DĂaz
This is not just a lineup.
This is a statement.
A warning flare.
A message to the whole league: Liverpool arenât done yet.
Anfield under the lights. A broken run begging to be snapped. A restless squad with something to prove. Sunderland arriving at the worst possible time.
If Liverpool are ever going to resurrect their season, if theyâre ever going to claw back any dream of keeping the crownâŠ
it starts TONIGHT.
