Liverpool FC Europa League Clash: Team News and Updates for LASK Match
In preparation for Thursday's highly anticipated Europa League match against LASK, Liverpool FC has assembled a robust 23-man squad, although they will have to navigate the fixture without the services of two key players, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Thiago Alcantara. Unfortunately, both Alexander-Arnold and Thiago are sidelined due to injuries, making them unavailable for the Group E opener. Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool's esteemed manager, omitted the duo from the selected group traveling to Austria.
Alexander-Arnold sustained a hamstring injury in the lead-up to the September international break, stemming from a clash with Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Thiago has yet to make an appearance this season as he diligently progresses in his long-term recovery process.
On a brighter note, Liverpool will unveil their striking new Nike third kit in the showdown against LASK.
Adding to the positive news, Liverpool's captain, Virgil van Dijk, has returned to contention for selection after serving a domestic suspension during the past two Premier League fixtures. Additionally, deadline-day acquisition Ryan Gravenberch has been included in the traveling squad, raising anticipation for his potential debut start with the club.
In contrast, LASK does not face any fresh fitness concerns as they prepare to take on Klopp's formidable team. However, several of their squad members remain sidelined, including Tobias Anselm, Peter Michorl, Lenny Pintor, Adil Taoui, and Philipp Wiesinger.
Thomas Sageder, the coach of LASK, expressed his team's excitement ahead of the match during a pre-match press conference. He emphasized the team's fitness, preparation, and motivation, highlighting their eagerness to face Liverpool.

Liverpool's Thrilling Comeback Victory Sends Them to Premier League Summit
In a dramatic showdown at Molineux, Liverpool displayed their mettle as they scored two late goals to secure a stunning comeback win against a resilient Wolves side. This victory propelled them to the top of the Premier League standings, solidifying their position as a formidable force in English football.
Andy Robertson, celebrating his 200th Premier League appearance, etched his name into Liverpool's history by breaking the deadlock on the 85th minute mark. Then, the talented substitute, Harvey Elliott, played a pivotal role in sealing the victory during stoppage time as his shot deflected off Hugo Bueno, resulting in an own goal.
The early stages of the second half saw Cody Gakpo level the scoreline with a clinical finish, capitalizing on Mohamed Salah's precise cross-shot.
During the initial half, it was the home side that dominated proceedings. Pedro Neto's exceptional wing play set the stage for Hwang Hee-Chan to open the scoring, sending the Molineux faithful into raptures.
Jurgen Klopp's men showcased their resilience yet again, recovering from a sluggish first half in which they were overrun in midfield and entered the break trailing. Klopp's halftime substitutions, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, injected fresh energy into the squad.
Diaz, just 90 seconds into his appearance, came close to breaking the deadlock with a header from Robertson's pinpoint cross. Moments later, a spell of intricate passing involving Diaz and others led to Mohamed Salah delivering a drilled cross-shot, which Gakpo calmly slotted home to restore parity.
Nunez then threatened to put Liverpool ahead, but his effort was thwarted by a combination of goalkeeper Jose Sa and defender Max Kilman.
As the match progressed, Wolves appeared fatigued, and Liverpool appeared more likely to score. With just five minutes remaining, Robertson, wearing the captain's armband in the absence of the suspended Virgil van Dijk, raced onto Salah's precise through-ball and clinically slotted the ball home from close range.
Elliott provided the finishing touch to the victory late in the game, although his goal was ultimately credited as an own goal by Wolves' defender Bueno due to a deflection.
Despite suffering their fourth defeat in five games this season, Wolves showed glimpses of promise, especially in the first half. Midfielders Joao Gomes and Mario Lemina applied relentless pressure on Liverpool players, while Neto's dazzling wing play set the stage for their opening goal.
However, Wolves faded in the second half, failing to register a shot on target. Their upcoming clash with fellow strugglers Luton takes on added significance as they seek to climb the Premier League ladder.

A Touching Farewell: Liverpool's Tribute to Bobby Firmino
Fully aware of the unfolding events in the away section, the Liverpool squad was determined to ensure that their former Hoffenheim player received a heartfelt tribute from the fans. They encouraged him to approach the visitors' area and bask in the admiration showered upon him.
Without a doubt, we at Empire firmly believe that L4 will feel a significant void in the absence of our beloved No.9.When we host Aston Villa this weekend, there won't be a single person in the crowd with dry eyes. Although Bobby Firmino didn't step onto the field until after the final whistle, the devoted Anfield supporters who had made the journey didn't let that stop them from expressing their unwavering gratitude for the Brazilian throughout the entire match at the King Power Stadium.

Former Premier League Defender Stephen Kelly Weighs in on Liverpool's Inconsistent Performance
Liverpool's hopes for a top-four finish are facing a real challenge due to their inconsistency, as pointed out by former Premier League defender Stephen Kelly. Despite showing signs of improvement after a shaky start to the season, their recent loss to Bournemouth has disrupted their momentum.
In an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily, Kelly expressed his confusion over Liverpool's fluctuating form, given that they have been one of the most consistent teams in recent years. He pointed out that they lack the ability to consistently dominate opponents and maintain a winning streak.
Kelly acknowledged that other teams such as Tottenham and Newcastle are also competing for the top four spots, making it a difficult task for Liverpool to secure their position. Although Liverpool's recent victory against United was impressive, they were unable to replicate that performance against Bournemouth.
It remains to be seen how Liverpool will perform in the upcoming games, but their inconsistency is posing a real challenge to their top-four finish aspirations. Will they be able to bounce back and secure a place in the top four? Only time will tell.
