Overview

• The 24-year-old is expected to start at Anfield on Tuesday night in the third round, marking his first competitive appearance since his move from Valencia.
• He arrived this summer in a deal reported between £25m and £29m after a planned season-on-loan arrangement, and he has trained as Alisson’s primary understudy.
• Liverpool reworked their goalkeeping group with Caoimhin Kelleher moving to Brentford and additions including Freddie Woodman and prospect Armin Pecsi.
• Mamardashvili said he is excited and ready for his “first official game” and credited Alisson and senior teammates for helping his adaptation.
• Former goalkeeper David James says the Georgian has the tools to become Liverpool’s number one but sees no urgency for Alisson to move on.
