Darwin Nunez out and what Cody Gakpo will do to avoid missing goals against Brighton

For Klopp, the margin for error is over. Liverpool can't let any more points slip away, not because they are fighting for the title, but because Brighton are their closest challengers, and even with a defeat against them, The Pool could end the round in mid-table, in tenth place. That is why the German manager will have to draw on the best with what he has available, the recent signing of Gakpo being the answer.

The arrival of Gakpo at Anfield brought with it a slight hope for the fans who hope that he can be the man in goal for the Reds, and it is that since before the break of activities for the World Cup in Qatar, Liverpool were already lacking in attack, mainly due to the injury losses of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz, which together with the poor performance of OX Chamberlain and Darwin Nunez, left the fans with more doubts than encouragement.

With a very good World Cup, Cody quickly became the desire of many top clubs in the world, with Liverpool winning the bidding after paying PSV around 50 million euros for his services. The 23-year-old striker only recently made his debut under Klopp, making an underwhelming debut in the FA Cup tie against Wolverhampton. Gakpo has just 83" minutes and a Liverpool career ahead of him.

According to different sporting platforms Cody's debut was acceptable, with an above average 74% pass success rate and 70% passing accuracy, Cody made his Anfield debut in front of over 50,000 fans who had a bittersweet night as they had to replay the game against Wolves, but now at Wolverhampton. Now with Darwin Nunez likely to miss out, Gakpo will have the chance to score his first goal in a Liverpool shirt.

<strong>Gakpo to start</strong>

The Oranje gem has not scored at club level since 9 October when he was still playing for PSV, who beat Heerenveen by the narrowest of margins in Round 9 of the Eredivisie 22/23. Since then Gakpo's goal drought ended in Qatar with his goal on Matchday 1 of Group A against a Senegal side missing Sadio Mané with a knee injury. At the end of the World Cup, it was reported that Gakpo was one of the best young players of the tournament.
