Liverpool's Uruguayan striker is yet to start a single game this season after falling behind his Portuguese teammate in the pecking order - but Slot has suggested he remains well within his plans

Nunez, who has been restricted to four substitute appearances so far this campaign, is the spearhead of a revamped attack in place of Diogo Jota with Luis Diaz recalled for Cody Gakpo on the left flank. Mohamed Salah continues on the right.

After watching their forwards fire a blank against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool’s back four took it upon themselves to turnaround the early deficit with fullbacks Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kostas Tsimikas providing assists for central defensive duo Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk.
