For the first time this season, Jürgen Klopp may have every senior player available for selection on Saturday.

At a time of the season usually renowned for injuries and fatigue, Liverpool welcome Newcastle to Anfield this weekend with a clean bill of health. Several reds missed last week’s clash with West Ham due to illness, but the return of Jordan Henderson and Nathaniel Clyne to full training this week means Klopp has a full squad to choose from.

While the front three pretty much picks itself for the Reds, there is still plenty of debate about the midfield and defence. Joe Gomez has spent a lot of time at right back this season, but has lost his place in recent weeks to Trent Alexander-Arnold due to injury.

Newcastle’s visit to Anfield seems like the right time to reinstall Gomez into the back line. Alexander-Arnold, valued at £7.20 million on Transfermarkt, has been in fine form recently, but 20 year-old Gomez offers a bit more defensive stability.

Alexander-Arnold’s attacking intent has been valuable this season, especially when teams sit deep like Rafa Benitez’s men probably will, but they will also look to use either Christian Atsu or new signing Kenedy as an outlet on the left. Gomez could prevent this threat.

Gomez could also benefit from getting 90 minutes on his return from injury, with Klopp likely to select the more defensive option when the Reds visit Old Trafford next weekend.

So, Liverpool fans, should Joe Gomez replace Alexander-Arnold on Saturday? Let us know by voting below…
