With Darwin Nunez dropping to the bench for Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Bayer Leverkusen, Arne Slot has hinted at who will start up front. Nunez was one of two players rotated out of the side on Tuesday night, with Luis Diaz taking the Uruguayan’s place while Curtis Jones replaced Dominik Szoboszlai.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has explained why Darwin Nunez is only named on subs bench today for the Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield.
