New formation, new signing: How Liverpool plan to get back into the title race

Wait 5 sec.

Liverpool have suffered a dire start to the season and most people will surely feel their title defence is already over before we’ve even reached December.The Reds have already lost five league matches and find themselves all the way down in 8th in the Premier League table, with their record if 17 goals conceded more than Arsenal and Manchester City have let in put together.Still, it seems all hope is not lost yet inside Anfield, as Liverpool sources supposedly feel they could still get back into this title race.According to the post below from Indy Kaila’s X page, Liverpool are planning to target an elite winger in January, and will also try a new formation after the international break…Exclusive from #LFC source:??Liverpool management annoyed that Marc Guéhi didn’t sign in the summer??New formation to be tested after international break with Hugo Ekitike & Alexander Isak??Senior players believe title race not over??Eilte winger to be targeted in January pic.twitter.com/xKCvTruA3o— indykaila News (@indykaila) November 9, 2025The reporter has claimed senior Liverpool players feel they could still be in the title race, and Arne Slot will start using Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike up front together in a new formation in upcoming games.It will certainly be interesting to get a look at how differently Slot’s side play with that tactical change, so fans curious to go and watch it can take a look here as Livefootballtickets explains how to buy Liverpool tickets.Will Liverpool strengthen their title hopes with a busy January transfer window?LFC spent big during the summer and it hasn’t exactly worked out well for them, so is there really much sense in entering the market for even more big names this winter?Well, as much as there’s been a lot of focus on the players Liverpool did bring in, it’s also important to remember who they didn’t manage to get their hands on.Virgil van Dijk talks with his Liverpool teammates (Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images)One of those players is Marc Guehi, with Indy Kaila’s post above noting that the Merseyside giants are ‘annoyed’ by the fact that they missed out on the Crystal Palace centre-back.Liverpool’s defence has been really poor so far, so it’s easy to see someone like Guehi coming in and having a really positive impact.On top of that, the club arguably neglected other key areas of their attack, with Mohamed Salah’s form taking a real nosedive since the end of last season.Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo has been linked with Liverpool and he looks ideal to give Slot’s attack a new dimension.More Stories / Latest NewsContact made: Man United have “concrete interest” in 23-year-old Premier League starNov 11 2025, 9:16New formation, new signing: How Liverpool plan to get back into the title raceNov 11 2025, 9:07West Ham agree to sell first-team player in JanuaryNov 11 2025, 9:02The Ghana international could be the perfect long-term successor to Salah, providing a goal threat alongside his pace, skill and ability to provide for his teammates.If Liverpool could bring in Guehi and Semenyo this January, and the likes of Arsenal and City suffer a few bad results, then perhaps we could see a very different title race in the second half of the campaign.The post New formation, new signing: How Liverpool plan to get back into the title race appeared first on CaughtOffside.
