Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will be without his captain and vice-captain for Saturday's early Premier League kickoff against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

Newly-appointed skipper Virgil van Dijk must serve an extra suspension after admitting to using insulting and abusive language during August's win over Newcastle United, while Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss out with a hamstring concern.

Thiago Alcantara has not been deemed ready following a setback in his recovery from a hip injury either, but on a more reassuring note, Ibrahima Konate has trained following a thigh problem.

Furthermore, the quartet of Alisson Becker, Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister and Darwin Nunez will be late arrivals back from South America, and the latter was also revealed to have been nursing a muscle issue by Uruguay boss Marcelo Bielsa.

Alisson will be expected to start in goal regardless, although Caoimhin Kelleher is waiting in the wings, while Joel Matip and Konate seem set to form the central shield, as Jarell Quansah is kept waiting for his first Premier League start.

Having started in the heart of the backline against Aston Villa, Joe Gomez should be shifted across to right-back in place of Alexander-Arnold, while Andy Robertson's spot on the left is safe.

Wataru Endo might join Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones in the engine room if Mac Allister is spared, although Ryan Gravenberch should now come into contention for his debut, while Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo should feel optimistic of joining Mohamed Salah in the final third.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Matip, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Endo, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Jota
