Liverpool lost the top spot last week and could face further losses by the end of this week.
Liverpool is concerned about Brighton, who frequently challenges them at Anfield, and also about the limited options available to Dutch coach Arne Slot. He always seeks substitutes capable of stepping in for the starters at any moment, particularly in attack.
Slot’s main headache remains the forward line. He’s hopeful that Italian striker Federico Chiesa, recently brought in from Juventus, can recover in time to replace Egyptian star Mohamed Salah on the right wing. Hungarian Dominik Szoboszlai, though naturally a central midfielder, also remains a potential option if needed.
With Diogo Jota still sidelined by injury, Slot will likely lean on Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez, unless he decides to deploy Dutch forward Cody Gakpo or Colombian winger Luis Díaz as the primary striker.
Liverpool’s focus these days is fixed on the forward positions, especially given reports of their interest in signing Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush, who’s been in standout form for Eintracht Frankfurt this season in the Bundesliga. Marmoush, tied with Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane as Bundesliga top scorer with nine goals.
Until a deal is done in either the winter transfer window or next summer, Liverpool’s primary dependence remains on their star, the “Pharaoh” Salah. The Egyptian has contributed to 15 goals in 14 Premier League appearances against Brighton, with nine goals and six assists, making him the highest contributor for Liverpool, just behind his 18 contributions against Manchester United.
