Ipswich v Liverpool LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups, kick-off time and how to watch on TV as Bradley Barcola in line for debut

There will be an underlying sense of disappointment that Liverpool fans have to wait to see their £123m man, but given his lack of pre-season action, it’s not a massive surprise that Bradley Barcola starts on the bench.

One change from the draw against Forest: Araujo in for Frimpong, who has endured an underwhelming start to the season.

There’s also only one change for Liverpool.

Jeremie Frimpong drops out in place of Ronald Araujo. That could mean that Jeremy Jacquet plays at right-back tonight perhaps?

New signing Bradley Barcola is in the squad but starts on the bench.

There’s only one change from Gary O’Neil for his Ipswich team.

Exequiel Palacios comes into the midfield in place of Marcelino Nunez.

Emersonn is fit enough to lead the line.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Jacquet, Araujo, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Munoz, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak

Ipswich XI: Scherpen; O’Shea, Diop, Greaves, Davis; Palacios, Lukic; Fatawu, Encisco, Maeda; Emersonn

We’re just a few minutes away from the official line-ups dropping and we’ll find out if Bradley Barcola will make his debut for Liverpool.

The line-ups will be out next…

“It’s a good question, it’s a good question,” said Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola.

“I see him in a good place. He has trained with us in three trainings. It’s true that he hasn’t had minutes in pre-season but he has been training normal with the group. Then it’s a decision we have to make.

“I think he’s in a good place but we also have to consider that he hasn’t had the minutes in the pre-season games.”

Liverpool made the statement acquisition of Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain on the penultimate day of the transfer window, culminating a summer-long saga surrounding the French winger.

Hugo Ekitike is still absent due to his ongoing Achilles injury while defenders Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley are missing due to knee problems.

Joe Gomez misses out with a muscle issue and Federico Chiesa has a minor back problem.

Bradley Barcola could make his debut for the Reds after signing from PSG on deadline day.

Ipswich will be without winger Jaden Philogene-Bidace who is out with an ankle injury while striker Emersonn is a doubt thanks to a knee issue.

Azor Matusiwa has a muscle injury, Jack Taylor has a knee problem, and Florentino Luis is a doubt.
