Liverpool trio drop early team news hint with Florian Wirtz call vs Man Utd

Three Liverpool stars have given a sneak peek into their preparations for the upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester United, as they aim to bounce back from a recent dip in form. After a stellar start to the season with seven consecutive victories across all competitions, the Reds suffered three successive defeats before the October international break, with both their Premier League losses coming from last-minute goals.

The return of domestic action presents an ideal chance for Liverpool to regain their momentum. Arne Slot's squad will face off against United at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. For this crucial match, Slot will need to decide whether to include big-money summer recruit Florian Wirtz. The attacking midfielder was benched during their recent encounter with Chelsea.

While Wirtz has remained silent on social media, his team-mates have been more vocal. Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch posted a video on social media featuring Anfield and a pre-match graphic previewing the game.

He was joined by full-back Jeremie Frimpong, who shared a graphic preview of the fixture, complete with the lyrics to 'You'll never walk alone'.

Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is the third player to give fans a glimpse of the upcoming game on social media. He posted a pre-match graphic featuring himself in a Liverpool kit with Anfield in the background.

Whilst these graphics don't necessarily confirm that players are starting a match, it does indicate that they are set to be part of the Liverpool squad - as anticipated.

Both Gravenberch and Szoboszlai have been regulars in the starting eleven this season, but it's not the same tale for Frimpong.

The club's summer acquisition missed the matches with Newcastle and Arsenal back in August, due to a hamstring injury.

Despite recovering from the problem, he has yet to start in the Premier League since and was an unused substitute for the defeat against Chelsea before the international break.

He came on as a second-half substitute against Crystal Palace late last month, but was criticised by Slot for the Eagles' stoppage-time winner.

"We can only blame ourselves for defending the way we did," the Dutchman said.

"One of our players ran out because he wanted to play a counter-attack, which was of no use because time was up, so it was only about defending. One player was too offensively minded - in that moment - which led to them scoring the winner and us losing the game."
