Liverpool pipped Manchester United to Cody Gakpo's signature but the Dutchman is ineligible to play against Leicester in Friday night's Premier League game ...

The age he is in, the potential he shows, or has, and the quality he showed already in Holland and with the national team as well, so it makes him a really, really interesting player. If that doesn't happen, he may make his bow in the So, big for us, big for him as well, so it's cool. United were the favourites to sign Gakpo following Cristiano Ronaldo's departure in November. "And that's why we were very interested to get him in and I'm really happy that we could do it. Like his compatriot and forebear, Gakpo will wear the No.18 at Liverpool. He scored three goals to help Louis van Gaal's side reach the quarter-finals, where they lost on penalties to eventual-winners Argentina. This number has brought me lots of magic, and I hope it will bring you the same kinda magic too. Liverpool fans will be desperate to see Gakpo in action, especially due to Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz being long-term absentees. Gakpo also impressed for Netherlands at the World Cup. Kuyt, who played for Liverpool between 2006 and 2012, has congratulated Gakpo. The initial transfer fee was £37million, with that figure rising to £45m with add-ons.

Harvey Elliott replaces Fabinho as Liverpool make one change to the team who beat Aston Villa for tonight's clash with Leicester.

Follow Liverpool vs Leicester LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog! Even despite an indifferent opening few results, it would be foolish to write Liverpool off in the race for the top four and another three points would put them only two behind fourth-placed Tottenham. [Jurgen Klopp](/topic/jurgen-klopp)’s side have reached the final of every cup competition they’ve played over the past 12 months, which perhaps explains their relatively slow start to the season.

Chris Sutton is backing Liverpool FC to sign off for the year with a 3-1 victory over Leicester City in front of their home fans at Anfield in the Premier.

These kind of things are all about timing, getting these boys at the right moment that they didn’t already score 55 goals per season and stuff like this. That makes it massively interesting.” “That’s why we were really convinced he could make the next step, and that makes it interesting. “He is a young player with a lot of potential. Chris Sutton is backing Liverpool FC to sign off for the year with a 3-1 victory over Leicester City in front of their home fans at Anfield in the Premier League. Former Chelsea FC star Sutton feels that Liverpool FC will have what it takes to claim all three points against the Foxes and sign off for the year on a positive note.

Liverpool take on Leicester City in the Premier League later today. Here, three of our writers select the starting XIs we would like Jürgen Klopp to choose.

Up top, Núñez is the only real recognised striker, and was a constant menace against Aston Villa, even if the net refused to bulge. The Frenchman is probably the centre-back you’d want starting at Brentford on Monday anyway because he’s less likely to be bullied, as Matip was in the 3-3 draw last season. [Mohamed Salah](https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=015440420724022033189%3Aygf0ckf-78m&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.liverpool.com%2Fliverpool-fc-news%2Ffeatures%2Fliverpool-transfer-gakpo-salah-klopp-25842080&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwja97a9iZ38AhXERqQEHfzJA7QQFnoECAEQAg&usg=AOvVaw02T9uvD82eYgLP9OcrTJIx) and Darwin Núñez again, and I'll stick with [Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain](https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=015440420724022033189%3Aygf0ckf-78m&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.liverpool.com%2Fliverpool-fc-news%2Ffeatures%2Fliverpool-transfer-alex-oxlade-chamberlain-25729415&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjcptzDiZ38AhV1Y6QEHRuVCyAQFnoECAkQAg&usg=AOvVaw2DRgfKpVkDpQuEv6lFeYvL). [Aston Villa](https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=015440420724022033189%3Aygf0ckf-78m&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.liverpool.com%2Fliverpool-fc-news%2Ffeatures%2Fliverpool-aston-villa-darwin-nunez-25837883&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiS8NTUiZ38AhURU6QEHVktACAQFnoECAMQAg&usg=AOvVaw0pBIUlRQh6xYxJDxZZZ4HH), with the starting XI asked to go again. Oxlade-Chamberlain did okay against Villa so gets the nod over Carvalho. Liverpool should have had enough time to recover, and that was a relatively strong performance. That means the same goalkeeper and back four. After his excellent cameo, Bajčetić has probably earned a start, and it would be interesting to see how he might fare alongside Fabinho. It would also allow Henderson a breather, ready to come on and calm things down.
