Following the humbling 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is using the international break to plot a course correction, starting with a crucial defensive decision.
Slot is reportedly considering a major change to his defence ahead of the November 22nd fixture against Nottingham Forest.
With Liverpool having suffered seven defeats in their last 10 games, Slot faces a dilemma over the inclusion of Ibrahima Konaté.
While Konaté has been a fixture, his recent performances, especially in the Manchester City loss, have come under scrutiny, leading Slot to weigh his options against the fresh energy that Joe Gomez could bring to the backline.
Slot is banking on the break to allow players like Alisson Becker (hamstring) and Jeremie Frimpong (thigh) to return to fitness, though Konaté's future place in the starting XI remains in question.
