Liverpool head coach Arne Slot said in a press conference before facing Southampton (8 March) that they are still without striker Cody Gakpo, who is still regaining his fitness. As for the team to face the bottom of the table, they will rotate the team to maintain freshness.

The Reds have three important games ahead of the international break, starting with a trip to the Saints to maintain a 13-point lead over Premier League runners-up Arsenal เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย. 

Followed by opening Anfield to meet Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 (11 March) and the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle (16 March) at Wembley Stadium. 

The importance affects the overall championship position, so Slots cannot avoid rotation. 

“Gakpo’s progress, he didn’t train on Thursday, let’s see if he can join training this Friday,” the 46-year-old coach said. 

“But it’s already there.”

“It’s not a long-term problem. He say he is still hurt. Let’s see if he feels better today.”

“In terms of team selection, if the game against Southampton is 4-5 days. After the previous match (away to PSG), we will probably use the same 11 players.”

“But the truth is, it’s only two or three days away, including the match in the middle of next week.” 

“And because there are only two days between games, we have to fight to the death. This kind of tight schedule has not only happened in the last three or four weeks, but it is more than 50 games in the past three months. I am not sure of the number.”

“So we have to look at the situation, see what quality of the opponents we face see. Which players are in good form, are they physically fit. And what kind of coordination is best for the players.”

Asian handicap at Anfield still gives Liverpool 2.5 goals -10 even though using a mixed set , the total score is over – under 3.5 goals plus 4.
