Szoboszlai and Quansah Start as Slot Makes 2 Changes | Predicted Liverpool XI vs Man Utd

Published

on

Liverpool host Manchester United on matchday 20 of the Premier League, hoping to start 2025 on a positive note. The Reds, having beaten United 3-0 at Old Trafford earlier this season, will look to extend their dominance, with recent form suggesting an even more comfortable victory at Anfield.

Since their 5-0 win against West Ham United, Joe Gomez has been ruled out due to injury and will miss the match. Here’s how he will be replaced, along with a look at the possible Liverpool XI for the clash.

Goalkeeper – Alisson Becker had little to do during Liverpool’s last meeting with Manchester United at Old Trafford and will hope for a similar outcome this time. He is the clear favorite to start in goal for the home side.

Defenders – Trent Alexander-Arnold, in superb form, is expected to start at right-back, while Andy Robertson will likely continue on the left. Virgil van Dijk is set to retain his place, potentially partnering with Jarell Quansah due to Ibrahima Konaté and Joe Gomez being ruled out.

Szoboszlai in midfield

Midfielders – Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch have built a strong defensive partnership while also contributing significantly in attack. They have been key in the double pivot this season, especially in big games, and are likely to feature together again against Manchester United.

Forwards£60 million man Dominik Szoboszlai could start for the first time in two Premier League matches, replacing Curtis Jones at number 10. The Hungarian, who was suspended against West Ham, comes into the match well-rested. Mohamed Salah, with a strong record against United, is a guaranteed starter, while Cody Gakpo, in decent form, could feature on the left.

Forward – Darwin Nunez has been out of form recently, and Diogo Jota has made limited starts since returning from injury. As a result, Luis Diaz could lead the line, looking to build on his brace from the previous outing against United.

Arsenal’s interest grows as Vlahovic’s agent meets him

Published

on

According to Tuttosport, Arsenal are keen on signing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in the winter transfer window.

Arsenal have struggled with scoring in recent weeks, despite a 2-1 win over Tottenham on Wednesday, where they missed several clear chances.

With the need for a reliable striker to lead the attack, Tuttosport reports that the Gunners could approach Juventus for Dusan Vlahovic in the coming days.

The sighting of Dusan Vlahovic and his agent in Turin this week could hint at potential transfer activity, fueling speculation about a move to Arsenal.

Tuttosport adds that Arsenal have a strong interest in Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic. Juventus are open to his departure before the transfer deadline, should they receive a significant offer.

Possible deal

Gabriel Jesus has recently regained form, scoring six goals in all competitions, but he will be unavailable for the rest of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained against Manchester United last weekend.

Kai Havertz has faced added pressure following Gabriel Jesus’ injury, as his early-season form has dipped, mirroring the team’s struggles. Arsenal have also felt the absence of Bukayo Saka, who is currently sidelined with an injury.

With the need for another goal-scoring threat, Arsenal could target Dusan Vlahovic. The 24-year-old has been a regular for Juventus, but his role could change with Randal Kolo Muani’s potential arrival on a short-term loan.

Vlahovic, now in the final 18 months of his contract, may be open to a new challenge. Arsenal, who have tracked him since his Fiorentina days, could make an approach before the transfer window closes.

Juventus are asking for £55 million to sell Vlahovic, but Arsenal are cautious of breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules. They may propose a temporary deal with an option to buy this summer.

Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji has shared his thoughts on denying a rumored romance with Bimpe Oyebade-Adedimeji before their marriage and also shared a funny story about how he proposed to her.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo on the With Chude Podcast, Lateef explained that his wife thought he was joking when he proposed to her over the phone.

He mentioned that Mo Bimpe was initially hesitant due to his Islamic faith and concerns about her father’s approval. He recalled, “I called her and told her I wanted to ask her something, then I told her I wanted to marry her.

She was just joking, like, ‘What is doing this one? Get out! I can’t marry a Muslim; are you okay? My daddy won’t even hear that.

The actor arranged to talk to her father about marrying her, and after some discussion, he agreed. He continued, sharing how the conversation with her father went smoothly, and that he was ultimately able to win their approval for the marriage.

I promised him that I’d take care of his daughter, and he said he’d pray and get back to me, and that was it.

“The proposal wasn’t planned because we just dated for like two, three months and then we got married.”

Lateef and Bimpe celebrated the traditional part of their celebrity wedding in Ijero-Ekiti, Ekiti State, on Saturday, December 18. This was followed by a Nikhai ceremony on Wednesday, December 22, 2021, in Ikeja, Lagos State.
