As Liverpool prepares to welcome Manchester United to Anfield for their Premier League showdown on October 19, the latest injury updates have vital implications for team selection. Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker remains sidelined due to injury and will not be available for the match. In his absence, Giorgi Mamardashvili is expected to continue as the starting goalkeeper, having impressed as a reliable deputy.
Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has recovered from his previous fitness concerns and is set to feature in the match, providing a welcome boost to Liverpool’s midfield lineup. Defender Ibrahima Konate is also likely to return to the starting eleven, partnering with captain Virgil van Dijk in central defense.
Manager Arne Slot faces key decisions about right-back and forward positions, with Jeremie Frimpong and Ekitike among contenders to start. Regular starters Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz, and Cody Gakpo will likely anchor the attack, with Aleksander Isak inching closer to full match fitness but still possibly starting from the bench.
Manchester United, meanwhile, contend with their own fitness challenges. Ruben Amorim has ruled Lisandro Martinez out due to a knee injury, and Noussair Mazraoui remains doubtful. However, key players such as Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro are expected to feature, with tactical cautions due to their international travel and recent matches.
This fixture carries great significance as Manchester United seeks their first win at Anfield since 2016, while Liverpool aims to regain form and momentum with a strong squad despite Alisson’s absence.
