"Ever since his impressive cameo off the bench in the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest, there have been calls for Ngumoha to play more senior football. Multiple pundits, including Steven Gerrard, have even said the Liverpool teenager does more than Cody Gakpo, which will hopefully lead to him finally being named in the XI this weekend."
"The Dutchman has scored one in nine, while the Liverpool Academy talent is creating more chances per 90 than Kylian Mbappe. The most glaring change he needs to make to the XI is dropping Gakpo and starting Ngumoha."
"That would allow Trey Nyoni, who Slot called a 'big talent' in January, to start just his third game of the season for Liverpool. Given that Curtis Jones continues to disappoint, Ryan Gravenberch will have to keep his place in the side."
Liverpool face Wolves in their third game within six days, necessitating squad rotation from manager Arne Slot. Rio Ngumoha, who impressed in a recent cameo against Nottingham Forest, should start ahead of Cody Gakpo, who has scored just one goal in nine appearances. Pundits including Steven Gerrard have praised Ngumoha's output. Trey Nyoni, described by Slot as a 'big talent', should also feature in midfield. Hugo Ekitike must retain his striker position due to injury constraints, while Dominik Szoboszlai could replace Mohamed Salah. Alexis Mac Allister would shift to the number 10 role, allowing Nyoni to start his third game of the season. Andy Robertson may replace Milos Kerkez at left-back to manage the Hungarian's workload.
