Liverpool trots out a makeshift lineup vs LASK. With injuries to Alisson and Diogo Jota injured, Caoimhin Kelleher and Harvey Elliott get the starting nod. The Reds can turn to Darwin Núñez and other typical starters off the bench if they need some firepower late.

LFC Globe Verdict
Unlike last season, this is really the first match that the team has had to deal with major injuries to multiple starters. I think this is the best lineup of the players available except I would start Darwin Núñez over Gakpo, but Liverpool should still have enough goal-scoring ability up front to come away with the win.
