Liverpool’s season has up to now been virtually flawless underneath new head coach Arne Slot, and their European marketing campaign has actually been that. The Reds have at the moment received all six video games within the UEFA Champions League, conceding only one purpose, which got here three minutes into the primary recreation at AC Milan.
In addition to beating the Serie A giants, that run additionally consists of victories over Actual Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig.
Tuesday evening sees Liverpool tackle LOSC Lille, which might be a chance for Slot to rotate his aspect as their Premier League title pursuit continues to ramp up. With that being stated, let’s check out our predicted lineup…
Two Modifications on the Again
Alisson Becker will stay in purpose for this one after a powerful efficiency within the Reds’ victory at Brentford.
Kostas Tsimikas will stay at left-back too, with Andy Robertson being rested as soon as once more earlier than doubtless returning for Saturday’s conflict with Ipswich City. On the alternative aspect, Conor Bradley may return to the aspect rather than Trent Alexander-Arnold who has began in opposition to Accrington Stanley, Nottingham Forest and Brentford, all previously 10 days.
Virgil Van Dijk will captain the aspect from the center of the defence, however shall be partnered by Jarell Quansah on this event. Ibou Konate shall be given some much-needed restoration time as he continues his restoration from a knee harm.
Verdict: Alisson, Bradley, Quansah, Van Dijk (C), Tsimikas
Essential Changes in Midfield
I see this recreation as an enormous alternative to 2 of the three key midfielders. Due to this fact, I believe Curtis Jones will come into the aspect and can accomplice Alexis Mac Allister on the base of the midfield – which means Ryan Gravenberch will get a much-needed relaxation forward of the weekend’s Premier League motion.
Dominik Szoboszlai can also be anticipated to be rested on this one and certainly Harvey Elliott is in line to lastly get his probability to showcase his talents within the ten position.
Verdict: Mac Allister, Jones, Elliott
Darwin Nunez’s Big Alternative
After his heroics in opposition to Brentford, Darwin Nunez is in line for an enormous alternative within the beginning lineup. Hopefully the Uruguayan can take that momentum into Tuesday’s recreation and actually reignite his season.
Mohamed Salah will begin on the right-wing, while Luis Diaz will transfer out onto the alternative flank rather than Cody Gakpo, with the Dutchman receiving a well-earned relaxation.
Federico Chiesa will doubtless obtain a good chunk of minutes after additionally impressing off the bench on the weekend, however this recreation has maybe come too quickly for a shock begin. Diogo Jota will miss this recreation by harm.
Verdict: Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Beginning XI: Alisson, Bradley, Quansah, Van Dijk (C), Tsimikas, Mac Allister, Jones, Elliott, Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Bench: Kelleher, Jaros, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Robertson, Endo, Morton, McConnell Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Chiesa
