If there’s time, Tom will also turn his attention to other requests in the comments section.

Cannot decide my back three for this game week, who would you go for? My mind at min is

Munoz - Konsa - Truffert

(Burn - VDV) bench. My mind thinks more defcon Konsa away at spurs and Brighton good at home.

    Hard disagree. Eyeballing the situation I'd say he probably starts, maybe he's rested, but he's very unlikely to sub in for a 10min 1-pointer. So I can't see the delusion in playing him.

Tryna guess starting LFC forwards for the next 3 games. The serious factor is Ekitike's previous team Eintracht which LFC play against in the CL on Wednesday. I'm pretty sure Slot's gonna start him in front of the former fans. That said, I also think Slot has no a persuasive enough reason to bench in-form Ekitike in the home derby vs MU. So, I'd presume the French forward will start the games vs MU and Eintracht and gonna be benched vs BRE on Saturday.
