Liverpool’s Injured Players Return

With just nine points to their name, Liverpool sit eighth in the standings. They have a game in hand on the leaders, but the gap is already big. They must start winning if they still want to have a chance at the title. Important to note that they were very unlucky, however. Many of their star players have been injured this season.

Many are back, but manager Jurgen Klopp will be hoping that his players who are away representing their national teams also return with clean bills of health. Giving him some options when the Premier League resumes with this Saturday match.

There’s still plenty of improvement to be made, and Liverpool’s habit of conceding the first goal (eight of their last 10 league games) is an ongoing headache that Klopp’s desperate to solve.

It was a surprise that Jordan Henderson was summoned to the England squad ahead of their UEFA Nations League clashes (Italy and Germany). That must give an indication that the 32-year-old is ready to return after a hamstring injury in the dramatic 2-1 victory over Newcastle. Thiago Alcantara’s fully fit and ready to play. He’s one of the key players in Jurgen Klopp’s team. If you’re betting online, know that despite their struggles recently, Liverpool is superb at home.

Brighton’s New Manager

After losing Graham Potter (signed with Chelsea), Brighton have made Roberto De Zerbi their new manager, with the Italian signing a four-year deal. The 43-year-old former Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk manager will try to implement an exciting and courageous brand of football. It’s very important to see if his style and tactical approach works at Brighton.

De Zerbi is inheriting a team that’s fourth in the Premier League. The club’s first game after the international break is at Liverpool, after which they play at home against Tottenham. De Zerbi is known for his ‘heavy metal,’ possession-based football, hoping to continue Potter’s work.

During his three-year spell with Sassuolo, De Zerbi’s side usually punched way above their weight, having finished eighth in two seasons. Expect a similar style with Brighton. Visitors will pull off many surprises this term. We will include them in our soccer picks and parlays. We love their fighting spirit and they have many players with potential. As was previously mentioned, they sit fourth in the standings (13 points), and a game in hand on the trio ahead of them.
