Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Saturday's FA Cup third-round clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo will likely make his debut for the club when they tackle Wolverhampton Wanderers in Saturday's FA Cup third-round battle.

The Dutchman was not ready to make his first appearance in red for Monday's Premier League defeat to Brentford, but the formalities of his move from PSV Eindhoven have now been completed.

With Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz still occupying spots in the treatment room, Gakpo could come in for his first start on the left flank in place of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Roberto Firmino ought to recover from a calf problem in time to make the squad this weekend, but the profligate Darwin Nunez should nevertheless keep his place as Mohamed Salah continues on the right.

Jordan Henderson should return to the matchday squad following a concussion and could take the place of Thiago Alcantara, while Harvey Elliott may also be sacrificed for Naby Keita if Jurgen Klopp opts to freshen things up.

Stefan Bajcetic could also come in from the off, likely in front of a Joe Gomez and Joel Matip backline following news of Virgil van Dijk's hamstring injury, which could rule him out for the rest of the month.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson - who should come back in for Kostas Tsimikas - will likely complete the Liverpool rearguard in front of second-choice goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Gomez, Robertson; Keita, Bajcetic, Henderson; Salah, Nunez, Gakpo
