After intense preparations at the training ground, Liverpool’s lineup for their high-profile clash against AC Milan is in and it features some eye-catching selections.
✅ Florian Wirtz makes his first official start in red, and all eyes will be on the German wonderkid as he looks to dictate the tempo from midfield. His inclusion signals Arne Slot’s faith in his creativity, vision, and ability to control the game from deep.
✅ Cody Gakpo leads the line as Liverpool’s main attacking threat, trusted to spearhead the forward line with his blend of movement, physicality, and finishing touch. With Núñez on the bench, this could be a chance for Gakpo to truly cement his place under Slot.
✅ Two new defensive signings have also been handed starts, signaling a new era at the back. Both players impressed during pre-season training sessions and are now being trusted in a real test against top opposition.
With Wirtz pulling strings, Gakpo applying pressure upfront, and fresh faces reinforcing the defense, this XI reflects Slot’s tactical evolution sharp, proactive, and fluid.
AC Milan won’t be easy opponents, but Liverpool’s lineup shows intent and ambition. The rebuild isn’t just happening it’s already taking shape on the pitch.
