After a vastly productive few weeks within the Premier League, Liverpool’s consideration now turns to the UEFA Champions League as they journey to Paris to face PSG within the opening leg of their last-16 conflict.
The Reds come into this one off the again of vastly spectacular victories over Manchester Metropolis and Newcastle United, sending them 13 factors clear on the prime of the desk.
By way of absences for this one, Joe Gomez, Conor Bradley and Tyler Morton are all actually dominated out for this one. Cody Gakpo stays a doubt regardless of coming off the bench in Liverpool’s victory over Newcastle United one week in the past.
With that being stated, let’s check out our predicted lineup for this one…
One Change on the Again
Alisson Becker will stay in objective for this one, coming into the sport off the again of two consecutive clear sheets. Forward of him, Virgil Van Dijk will captain the facet from the guts of defence and might be joined by his traditional associate Ibou Konate.
At left-back, Andy Robertson will come again into the facet rather than Kostas Tsimikas after being rested within the victory over Newcastle. With no depth in any respect at right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold will definitely begin in his traditional function.
Verdict: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk (C), Robertson
4 Midfielders
Slot may very well be set to make an fascinating tactical tweak for this one. I believe that the Dutchman will choose to begin with 4 midfielders, identical to he did in Liverpool’s large victory away to Manchester Metropolis on the Etihad Stadium.
Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch will associate one another on the base of the midfield and might be joined by two superior midfielders, that can successfully type a double press down the center.
These gamers might be Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones, who will come into the facet after lacking the conflict with Newcastle United. The latter of these will successfully be used as an attacker, if that system is right.
Verdict: Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones
Salah and Who?
That leaves the 2 broad positions out there. Mohamed Salah will in fact begin on the right-wing and can look to proceed his world-class marketing campaign.
Diogo Jota will possible drop out of the beginning eleven to make approach for the beforehand talked about Jones.
With Gakpo nonetheless a doubt for this one, Luis Diaz is in line to maintain his place within the beginning eleven on the left-wing.
Verdict: Salah, Diaz
Beginning XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk (C), Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones, Salah, Diaz
Bench: Kelleher, Jaros, Quansah, Tsimikas, Endo, McConnell, Nyoni, Elliott, Gakpo, Jota, Nunez, Chiesa
