Choices, choices, choices.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is in the enviable position of having a squad of players who are starting to provide him with some dilemmas.

A much-changed Reds beat West Ham 5-1 in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday when a number of players staked a claim for more game time.

Cody Gakpo scored a couple against the Hammers and, while Luis Diaz should come back for the top flight trip to Wolves on Saturday, the Dutchman is certainly pushing team-mate to keep performing.

Diogo Jota also scored a couple against West Ham and, after Darwin Nunez started up front in the league win over Bournemouth last Saturday, the Portugal international might get the nod to start at his former club.

Virgil van Dijk, Trent-Alexander-Arnold, Dominik Szoboszlai and Diaz did not play any part against West Ham so they are expected to return at Molineux.

Goalkeeper Alisson has missed the past couple of games with a muscle issue and continues to be a doubt.

Slot is due to speak to the media at 11:00 BST and we will get his thoughts on team selection, injuries and more when he does.
