Liverpool XI vs. Bologna: Predicted XI for Champions League clash

Three changes from Slot? How Liverpool could line up against Bologna

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Bologna.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot will have to make late checks on a couple of players for Wednesday's Champions League clash at home to Bologna on Wednesday evening.

The Reds conquered AC Milan 3-1 in their first European affair of the season and most recently sunk Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 in Saturday's Premier League clash, propelling them back to the top of the table.

Darwin Nunez (illness) and Andrew Robertson (knock) are expected to be fine for Wednesday despite their recent issues, but Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota are fresh doubts; the former is not expected to be available.

Nunez's infection is likely to clear up in time for the visit of Bologna, though, and he could now join forces with Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah, the latter of whom could become the first Liverpool man to score in five straight Champions League home games.

Slot may reward Cody Gakpo for his late assist against Milan with a start over Luis Diaz on the left, though, while Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch are immovable in midfield.

The Liverpool boss is hopeful that Robertson has avoided a serious problem, but Kostas Tsimikas is waiting in the wings after starting the win over Milan, where he did not cover himself in glory for Christian Pulisic's opener.

However, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ibrahima Konate should all hold their spots ahead of Alisson Becker, who returned from a brief injury absence at Molineux.

Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez
