Nunez is expected to fill the void left by the departure of Sadio Mane after moving from Benfica to Anfield earlier this summer at a cost of up to £85m. After scoring in his brief appearance at King Power Stadium, Merson feels Liverpool’s 23-year-old striker should start the team’s first Premier League game.
The former Arsenal player said:I would start Darwin Nunez in this game.“
“I say this because this is not a game against one of the big six and you know Liverpool will dominate.“
“Nunez needs to play in games where you know he’s going to score and it’s a great game for him to make his Premier League debut.”

Upcoming Liverpool Star Darwin Nunez
After scoring 34 goals in 41 appearances for Benfica last season, Nunez has the striking courage to immediately succeed in the Premier League. Roberto Firmino can start this match because it is anticipated that the young genius will need a little more time to adapt to English football. In Merseyside’s red half, the summer was mostly a continuum, with Nunez replacing Mane as the only significant change to Klopp’s squad.
Young players Calvin Ramsay and Fabio Carvalho’s moves from Aberdeen and Fulham, respectively, seem like long-term moves, while the entire cast including Neco Williams, Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi have left. The club’s core, which was nearing the quarterfinal completion from the previous season, is still in place and Klopp is expected to challenge City once again for the crown.
