Liverpool are missing five players as Jurgen Klopp faces a difficult farewell decision

Liverpool’s goal-laden farewell to Jurgen Klopp continued with a thrilling clash at Aston Villa on Monday night.

A back-to-back 3-3 draw brought the curtain down on the away days under the German and further cemented the Reds in the Premier League’s top three.

Liverpool now turn their attention to their final game of the season with the visit of Wolves on Sunday. And here we look ahead to the changes Klopp could make one last time when his side are next in action.

Konate question

Klopp has resisted the urge to ring in the changes in the final weeks of his reign and it would be a surprise if he changed his resources for his final game.

Alisson Becker, then, is the favorite to continue between the sticks, although Caoimhin Kelleher started the final game of last season. Third-choice goalkeeper Adrian has not played since July 2022 and will leave the club after the game.

Andy Robertson is expected to return after missing out with a minor injury against Villa, where the versatile Joe Gomez impressed as deputy to Kostas Tsimikas. Gomez can also do a job at right-back, although Trent Alexander-Arnold has regained his place ahead of Conor Bradley.

And at centre-back, Ibrahima Konate has fallen behind Jarell Quansah in the pecking order to partner Virgil van Dijk, but will hope for a recall. Joel Matip has been out since December and is set to leave on a free transfer this summer.

Szoboszlai done

Wataru Endo’s importance was again evident at Villa Park as, for the second game in a row, Liverpool conceded two late goals as the Japan international was replaced at number six. Alexis Mac Allister is another option in the position but looked tired against Villa, while Stefan Bajcetic is not ready to start after so much on the sidelines.

Should Mac Allister be rested, his position on the left of the engine room could be filled by Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch or Dominik Szoboszlai, who all came off the bench on Monday. On the right side, Elliott was again impressive, but if a rotation was needed, he could be replaced by any of the aforementioned trio.

Bobby Clark is injured, while Thiago Alcantara is another who played his last game for Liverpool as he is on the sidelines. Youngsters Trey Nyoni and James McConnell have played for the under-21s of late.

Nunez in?

Diogo Jota was expected to return for the trip to Villa but now looks increasingly unlikely to feature again this campaign due to injury. That leaves four-on-three up front, with the big question being whether Darwin Nunez gets just his second start in a month.

Otherwise, Klopp will almost certainly keep faith in the attack of Mohamed Salah on the right, Luis Diaz on the left and the in-form Cody Gakpo in the middle. Teenager Ben Doak is injured, while both Lewis Koumas and Kaide Gordon have been mainly on U21 duty in recent weeks.
