Liverpool will face rivals Manchester United at Anfield today and it is expected that 3 new players will be sitting in the attendance to watch the game. The players in discussion are Tiago Ilori, Mamadou Sakho and Victor Moses.
Reds have already completed 5 major signings this summer and are in line to seal 6th, 7th, and 8th deal before the deadline day.
According to reports, Chelsea winger Moses is now surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge as Blues have a lot of playmakers already. Adding to that, the signing of Willian further adds weight to his departure.
When star player Juan Mata is not getting a game, then surely it is the right decision for Moses to leave Chelsea. Do Liverpool really need him is another question.
With the return of Suarez, it is likely that we will see Sturridge, Suarez and Coutinho starting upfront. Then, Rodgers will have Aspas, Sterling and Ibe already to launch from the bench. Nevertheless, Moses is vibrant and will add depth and quality.
The win against Notts County confirmed that Liverpool still need reinforcements at the back. Injury to impressive Kolo Toure did not help either and hence Reds have moved swiftly to almost secure two deals for defender. Tiago Ilori from Sporting Lisbon and Sakho from French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Not much is known about the Portuguese defender but Sakho is vastly experienced having played more than 150 games for PSG and have featured 14 times for the national side as well.
Strong, tall and solid, Sakho, 23, can make brilliant partnership with Liverpool’s vice-captain Daniel Agger. Ilori will probably be used as a cover.
The two signings may also indicate that Martin Skrtel and Coates are likely to get minimum playing time. Anyways, Liverpool are going in the right direction. A win against United will continue their perfect start to the new season. Reds have not won 3 opening premier league games since 1994-95 season. Can they do it this time, we shall see.

time will tell, but spurs, seem to have gazumped, liverpool, on every 1st choice player they went for,. lets hope its a blessing for liverpool, & the reds come out on top.
but spurs look incredibly strong thrughout the squad.
Clearly our attack will shape up like…
–Suarez——–Coutinho——-Moses
——————-Sturridge
With Aspas, Ibe, Sterling and Alberto pushing for playing time.
Coates is out for the season, so obviously he’ll be “likely to get minimum playing time” lol
“Not much is known about the Portuguese defender” What?! He plays in the Sporting Lisbon starting XI. Do your homework pal.
Pal, that is too much information about Ilori, Sporting is not a world class side, nor he is a world class defender, he is just another Coates, needs time to improve, Coates never got much, Ilori wont get much with so many Cbs around as well.
Anywhere,am very happy for the works that’re going on at amfield,alots of competition in evey position,so, pls pals don’t write off any of the new signing they’ve a chance.
anyhow i very happy fr this year. liverpool signing a lot of new player also a great player so they will become top four this year
