Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is weighing a tactical change at right-back for the upcoming match against Ipswich Town at Portman Road. Following consecutive 2-2 draws in the Premier League against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, the side remains winless this season. Analyst Lewis Steele suggested that Dominik Szoboszlai, usually a midfielder, may provide defensive stability while current right-back Jeremie Frimpong struggles for form. Conor Bradley remains sidelined with an injury, and Joe Gomez is working toward a return to full fitness. While Iraola has praised the versatility of his vice-captain, the manager has not confirmed a permanent position change for Szoboszlai. The decision remains a short-term tactical adjustment aimed at tightening the defensive line.
