The postponed first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final clash between Liverpool and Arsenal will be played at Anfield on Thursday night.
Jurgen Klopp’s men will be hoping to continue their recent winning ways in cup action after a 4-1 thumping win over Shrewsbury in the FA Cup third-round meeting.
Let us now take a look at how Jurgen Klopp might set up his Liverpool side for the upcoming game –
4-3-3
Caoimhin Kelleher looks poised to retain his starting role between the goalposts for Liverpool with Alisson Becker a COVID-19 enforced absentee of late.
In the heart of the backline, Joel Matip will be in line for a return to replace Ibrahima Konate and partner Virgil van Dijk. Andy Robertson will also be retaining his left-back role.
Trent Alexander-Arnold tested positive for COVID-19 and will be sidelined for the upcoming game forcing Jurgen Klopp to field Neco Williams as the cover on the right side of the defence.
With Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane off to the Africa Cup of Nations, Diogo Jota will be joined by the likes of Roberto Firmino and Takumi Minamino in the final third of the pitch.
